I have spent most of my life in Colorado. Love it, alwalys have. I have lived in Singapore, Arizona, New Mexico. I grew up on the East Coast. My parents are both from North Carolina.
I'm thinking somewhere in small town America. I would like to avoid tornado alley, but for some reason I am drawn to the Midwest. I love the change of seasons. I love history, old houses, big trees. I also am looking for a real estate market that is not so inflated.
Any ideas?

i don't get to spend time on this site very often, but, i hate ending a thread two days late.
i would like to dove tail with this question "is love enough?
heathen: Don't think so in this world. Most relationships fail over money than sex . Apparently you better be able to keep a certain lifestyle or it's doomed
I think we could survive a lifestyle change, I just couldn't face raising my grandkids around the lies and double standards and creepy doctrines of the JW's. For me, that is when love wasn't enough. I just lost my ability fight it anymore.
beksbks: I wasn't thinking money or sex, I was thinking more along the lines of shared goals, responsibility, and respect
I agree, when I was faced with true honesty about not believing, really not believing, I in a moment lost his respect. A true JW will always believe you (an unbeliever) are under the influence of Satan, weak, worldy, wrong in your thinking. Then also needing to protect against the "Satan cooties" that might jump off you; must always be on gaurd. That is a hard row to hoe when you are trying to cultivate mutual respect.
sad emo: Love is 'merely' the glue which holds everything else together
Well put. Even though 'merely', it is magical and wonderful and can work miracles.
prophecor: I was surprised, as well, JUST HOW MUCH INFORMATION, "Christendom" had on how to scripturally fireproof one's relationship, long before it becomes a problem.
I am amazed at just how much BAD INFORMATION the JW's are taught concerning "Christendom". Amazing. Do you think it might be a threat to them?
Crumpet: Sometimes the power cuts out and you need to go down to the basement with a flashflight, and kick start the generator.
LOL. There is some serious wisdom there.
what if you wen't back in time and stopped your mother from opening the door to the witnesses...and your family never came into the truth!!
what if you risked changing everything else in your life...not having kid's or the same marriage partner...would it be worth it.
Absolutely! If I could only take the dumbest thing I ever did out of my life....you bet!
So, do you know of any time machines? Do they work? How much do they cost? I probably can't afford it.
me, i love cooking.
hearing someone say "i hate to cook" is like hearing "i hate being literate," or "i hate being able to walk.
" i just don't get it.. but there must be reasons - enlighten me, ok?.
Love to cook. Don't mind doing dishes (learned a long time ago it is just a part of what I love).
Cooking is more than a creative outlet, it brings people together, embraces memories, encourages good health.
Just one part of appreciating life. It also draws those who hate to cook. Nothing wrong with that, it give me purpose.

I don't think it is enough. Yes, it takes two, but sometimes there is no middle ground without sacrifices too great.

I would like to dove tail with this question "Is love enough?" So many of us have marriages, families, etc..., within the borg. When we want out of the borg, but don't want to lose our loved ones, is love enough? Just how much of a difference does love make when our lives get real?
I too have my story of love, hanging on by a thread. One that I thought never would break. Will love be enough? Because it is certainly there.
she is 27, and a very special sensitive soul.
would anyone be willing to post a link to their stories for her?
i think it would help her understand she is not alone.
?mandy? you have a PM
do you think a witness is more apt to leave the wts because:.
1) ....of indisputable proof of the wts's falsehoods.. or.
2) .....something that personally happened to them that caused a disenchantment w/ the organization.. thanks for you input!.
I think 2 happens and then they see 1.
I agree...then if they never see 1, they live a life of deep felt guilt
Yes, I think he is a friend of mine.....I keep looking for him here
