my wife and i are thinking of moving our family to a better place in the us....away from jw family and out of the southern bible belt.

just curious how many of you live around co and, more specifically, near fort collins?

of course, we're open to any city that is less conservative and has awesome summer weather and outdoor activities.

Sleep trouble - any tips??
by Super_Becka in
1. jw
2. friends
argh, i'm a little on the frustrated side right now, so i'm looking for some help.. i'm usually quite good at getting lots of sleep, i'm usually in bed at a decent hour in the night and can usually get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep a night (more on the weekends, of course), but for the last week or so, i've been having some trouble sleeping.

a scattered night of sleeplessness can be expected from time to time, but it's been about 10 days now, that's a little excessive.

i do all of my usual things during the day - classes, homework, chores, cooking, cleaning, errands - and i never nap during the day, i avoid all forms of caffeine after 5pm, and i always go to bed feeling like it's time for me to go to sleep, i'm usually tired at bedtime, but lately, it's been taking me forever to get to sleep.

Were you a JW trophy wife? Not necessarily a serious thread.
by FlyingHighNow in
1. social
2. relationships
sal, it's funny but things were much more shallow in the dubs.

i noticed some of the ugliest blokes getting pretty little trophy wives so long as they had a job or were the sons of elders.

my dad (an elder) even went so far as to encourage me to come back to the dubs because i would easily pull a good looking wife .

Circuit Accounts Servants Confesses how the SCAM WORKS!!

yes, i too have wondered how an assembly that is held in a fully paid for assembly hall, with no food service, could possibly have $10,000 in expenses.

i suppose the bethel speakers have transportation expenses - maybe $1000 or so.

as for rent on the assembly hall, well you have already paid for it once, why pay again?

by expatbrit in

in october of 2000, i faded away from the watchtower.

like most people, i have family and friends who are jw's (including my wife and parents).

fading is generally the best method for people in that situation.
