When JWs are loving and caring in the congregation, they are behaving like most humans would in a similar situation. Think of it - getting together 3 times a week and then engaging in activities like field service which isolate them from the rest of society - they are bound to get close.

I sometimes feel the same way. One thing that has helped is actually something WT used to teach as a recruting tactic. Mamely replace old friends with new. It has really been helping me as I fade.

you are so right. It's really been devistation to lose all your friends. Even 4 yrs out, I am still feeling their loss.
