    My 'best friend' that I grew up with became and elder and was on the committee who decided to DA me.

    How horrible for you!!

    It's hard enough being judged and DAd, let alone by yr BF.

    My BF and pioneer partner from the 'truth' lives only blocks away, and she is 'afraid' to be discovered if we talk to each other since I am DF. We haven't talked in almost 10 years now, it's been 24 years since I actually 'saw' her, and she was my only close friend growing up. I feel sad for both of us, but especially her, because she is not free.

    here's a little joke:

    Why does it cost so much for a divorce??

    Tim. But he can't fill all my needs, nor should he have to. Sometimes I need to talk about "girl" stuff. He is, of course, more than willing to listen, but he just doesn't get it.

    I lost my "friends" when the WTS disfellowshipped me.

    No.

    I have friends I do stuff with, but no one I turn to in time of need.

    I was thinking about this just yesterday.

    A *best* friend? Well... outside of family members there are four or five people that have known me very very well for more than twenty years who I consider true friends, but a *best* one among them? Nah. At any given time of year I may spend more time with one than the other, but I love them all the same.

    I guess I stopped having "best" friends in junior high.


    p.s. Do online friends count? Over the years (and recently), I've made connections with a handful of people online that have been and remain quite strong. The only thing that I feel is different between them and r/l friends is that we've never actually met face to face.

    That is OUTRAGEOUS.. to you SIMON..

    You'd think that a group of elders in a congregation would have had the decency to not have your BEST FRIEND on that Committee.

    It was a conflict of interest for him... (and I would have felt like somebody kicked in the teeth)

    I do remember reading a post where you said you went out "Both guns blazing"..or something to that affect. I'd like to have seen that..sort of a RAMBO type exit. EMPOWERING to me to hear..

    I'd be farfetched not to say.. They did that (having your best friend on that committee) on purpose to hurt you. SCOUNDRELS!!!

    I not sure but, I think I had a fleshly brother RAT me out before I was Disfellowshipped..Everything pointed to that direction anyway.

    OH WELL.. that's the way this cult operates isn't it.. Turns family against one another if it can..

    Teach families to eat their own if need be

    sincerely

    Special K
