This one is good, too.
Of the friends you had that you grew up with. How many are:
1) Still active?
2) Faded?
3) DF'd or DA'd
For me, of the 4 close friends I had as a teenager. 2 are faded, but not willing to talk to me, 1 died (was DF'd at the time), and the other is an elder in New Mexico. So between the 5 of us there is a 80% fall out rate. I wonder how this would play out among you folks.

I really dont know about the imediate crew I was with. But one went to prison, one defineltly has nothing to do with the society, some others I here are minesterial servants and stuff. One I work with is Df and Larry who posts on this board is DA.
I'd say about 80% also.
All of them are in, but one is questioning and has made it clear that she will not shun me.
My daughter's friends are all fading, though:)
I am proud to say that I never made friends in the truth. the reason? My family was always viewed as "spiritually weak" so people stayed away from us, unless their sorry freeloading ass needed something from the better-off financially us ()
I'm faded.
Another is faded, but has nothing to do with the rest of us.
One is DF'd, and sadly I've lost touch with her.
Three are still in, and probably will be there for a long time.
50% here...
I keep wishing for that day when I'll sign on and discover one of the newbies is one of my friends.
