  How well do you sleep?

  by Lozhasleft in

  for years i've been pretty good at getting a good night's sleep.

  a couple of pages of my book and i'm away til morning, apart from the odd bladder brigade journey.

  however, suddenly, after our house move, i am having just an awful time of it.

  loz sorry you are having trouble sleeping, you can try essential oils such as chamomile and lavender, put a few drops on a cotton pad and put on your bed table at night, you can also burn the oils in a vapouriser, and breath the vapours during the evening before going to bed. Fill the top of the china bowl with water and add a few drops of the essential oils to the surface, the candle in the pot underneath heats the water releasing the vapours.

  My daughter and I were having terrible trouble sleeping laying awake for hours. The oils worked wonders, and completely zonked us out. It did not take long to get back to a pattern of sleep without having to use the oils anymore.

  I decided not to go to the IFB church I been attending

  i have been going to an ifb baptist type church for about past 3 months, i started going in march and have decided to quit going, need advice on how to send them a letter i don't want to go anymore, its a soulwinning, king james onlyism type church, wow are they ever putting pressure on me to be in church every time the doors are open, i explain to them that i work alot of overtime, have my own home to take care of, also i have my ham radio hobby that i am involved in and also like to do volunteer type work, since i been missing alot of church every sunday i get a phone call from the pastor on why i wasn't in church, now i am to the point where i don't even answer my phone anymore when they call, but wow the pressure, its very irritating how legalistic church attendance for certain churches has gotten.. .

  on the other hand i have decided that i still want to go to some sort of church, for a very short time in februiary i was going to a communicty type church where everyone is wearing something different, i noticed that alot of people wear blue jeans, even the pastor wears blue jeans, also its a non denominational type church that has alot of volunteer opportunities which i love doing, i have decided to go back to the non denomminational type church since i don't feel no pressure there.. .

  Funniest Thing to happen during a meeting?

  by truthseeker1969 in

  i am sure all of us have laughed at something that happened at the kingdom hall or assembly.. the first one i can think of is a brother giving a talk on voting and saying " why is it that men sit iin pubs and discuss how bad the economy is and the cost of everything and yet when the 'erection" (election) comes up they never do anything about it.. my brother in his best beavis n butthead voioce said " huh huh he said erection".

  we sat for the next 45 mins trying hard not to laugh.. of course, i got the look from the elders and the talk about not laughing.. .

  Blondie this reminds me of when I was a young teenager at the book study the elder that conducted the study and his wife were very pious and prim and proper, they had a young son, he was big for his age and looked older, and was always emarrassing his parents. One week he dropped his book and bent down to pick it up and let out a huge loud sounding fart, of course me and the other young teenagers one of them my friend looked at each other and burst out laughing and tried to stop, but he bent down and did it again, the more we tried to stop laughing the worse it got, my friend and I had to go to the bathroom and stay there for the rest of the study.

  What made it funnier was the poor mothers face was beaming bright red trying to act as though it had not happened.

  Waking Up From a 34 Year Slumber.

  by alg1052 in

  2. experiences

  july 11, 2011 will be 34 years since i was baptised as one of jw's.

  the sleeping pill i took was in the form of them providing the information that made the bible come alive with the truth and insisting that they go by the bible not adding or taking away from it.

  i had negative experiences from local brothers from time to time, however i excused them as part of being imperfect.

  Hi Punkofnice, I am so sorry for the way this has happened to you, sounds so sneaky and underhand and cowardly in my opinion. But I am happy that you have no regrets and can now be yourself.
