    Sadly, I miss very few.

    I had and still have ONE friend - and that is the definition of ''friend''.

    It's very rare to keep a JW friend after you've left.

    Sadly, min, if they don't stay your friend, they never were a friend.

    Proverbs 17:17 A true companion is loving all the time, and is a brother that is born for when there is distress.

    I did a bit, until I found two of them here after not hearing from them for 15 years!

    Blondie - you are dead on. Unfortunately I think that most witnesses only understand 'conditional love'.

    Wifey and I have not even been DF'd or Da'd - yet not a single witness 'friend' will speak with us any longer. You are right - they were never friends to start with - just 'religious companions'.

    Once you disagree with the witness club - you are out of the club. Just like 5 year olds.

    Not really

    If I want to see them, I know where to go.

    I've always looked at the Organization in the same way as belonging to a club. You can get kicked out if the club makes new rules....Great to have you back, Blondie!!

    nope,I couldn,t stand being forced to "hang out" with them growing up,and I don't like seeing them now.Only people who still care remotely about me is my 1st worldly girlfriend{which my mom and elders single handidly destroyed}and my "bad associations from work and high school".You know what true love is.........sacfifice.

    Good point Blondie

    This means that not 1 JW has a friend, since all will be shunned and rejected if they leave.
