    purps...

    this has been on my mind quite a bit lately. (Making Friends Is Easy. Getting Rid of Them Isn't)

    I am tired of being alone and there is that time between losing your JW friends and making new ones, kind of like moving away from where you grew up and starting over. Its more painful because you see your old JW friends from time to time when going to the store, mall, etc.

    We are not cutting off our old circle of JW friends, they (because of the culture of the Borg) are cutting us off. As for contacting them...you have nothing to lose...as long as we dont care about our "standing" in the Borg (not afraid of being DF)...and everything to gain.

    Once again Leslie, you are taking the high road. I hope that at least one of your old JW friends ends up being one of your new NON JW friends.

    Peace and hugs to you Purps....and everyone here on JWD. To each of you who have reached out to me personally, thank you.

    I too know what you are saying and feeling, like you and others here, I
    miss my friends terribly sometimes.

    We would get together every Friday night and go out to eat or a movie,
    as regular as clock work. Other times several of us would pile in a van
    and go Shopping etc.

    This didn't stop gradually... just instantly. I am not DA'd or DF'd... I just
    walked away. I did reach out to them and would only get one word ans.
    back in e-mails. No explantion, just gone.

    Yeah it hurts... I think of them often.

    If you feel what you need to do is contact them, by all means try. At least
    you'll know you gave it a shot.

    I hurt for you too, as do all your friends here at JWD... you mean so much
    to everyone here..........

    (((((Hugs))))

    Friends, even long lost ones, have a special place always in our hearts. Sometimes we get to reunite, most of the time we don't. It's common to the human experience.

    For you, Leslie: Here's a song about friends who have passed through our life.

    Leslie,

    If they know the warm kind of person you are, they must know that any thoughts you have of them are warm ones.

    Friends are wonderful, jd, and losing them is awful. I know your just covering a tender heart with all that machismo.

    Why would you say that?

    Hey TMS,

    Hearing Jose Feliciano sing "In My Life" was sweet. When an older person sings a song like this, they can do it with real feeling!

    "an older person"

    LOL!

    Yup, older! Jose is 62, Allison just turned 26. When she sings about old places and friends, it's a bit of a shallower stream from which she draws such experiences.
