    SexyTeen,

    Is it not possible for a Protestant to have a Catholic friend he loves very much, though he does not go to Catholic church services with him? I blelieve so. The only religions where participation is a prerequisite to friendship are cult-like ones, such as Jehovah's Witnesses.

    Belmont, the vice grip of JW guilt never ceases...it might be slow, but it is always there and insidious. Obviously you knew that your "friend" always had that as an option and would possibly resort to it for lots of reasons, JW pressure, personal guilt, afriad jehova was watching...etc..sorry for your loss of friends, but there are plenty where that came from...

    Belmont,

    Only just seen this! WoW, who wants friends who love us conditionally?

    Did you pick up my post re the odd JW who is frequenting my pub?

    Well Belmont at least I'll give them credit for being honest about it. My ex-friends couldn't do that much.

    Sexy Teen think about what you've said. You are asking Belmont to fake being a witness to keep a witness friend. Is that what you do or is that what you would do? Would you fake being a witness?

    I think it's a fair quesiton as I know dozens of witnesses in my old hall who were doing exactly that.
