No, I did not have A LOT freinds, fiends maybe, but not friends. Growing up in the Borg, many of the young ones ignored me. Now that we all a little older the only difference is that they are now ignoring me as married couples.
I can say that I only had 2 true friends. One moved away and the other got df and married. I thought that I was doing the right thing by shunning him. I feel so bad. One of the people that didn't ignore me that treated me like a human and I shunned him the second he was df. However, since January I have contacted him and we have been catching up on lost time (4 years or so).

No. No one wanted to get together with me until I was baptized.
I also never felt that 'just the women' who I spoke to would ever get together and go out as a group, without their husbands.

Well there was a group of us that were friendly and hung out on a regular basis, either playing video games, manhunt or watching movies. The group slowly fell apart one by one, I think I was the third or fourth one to go. I'd say the group was about 10 people large at it's biggest, then again when I left I doubt highly I was missed, so I guess the "real" friends saying is true. While I was in the group though I thought they were my friends.

No. I had a lot of acquaintances in the cult.
I have a lot of close friends now.

I thought I did until they saw me fading away ... then I had more former friends than I could count.
