I don't really have very many phobia's - but if I had to pick one it's definitely flying in an airplane or a jet. I've only flown two times in my entire life and I'm in my 50's. It's a phobia I'd like to get over as I have close friends and relatives who live like 7 hours drive and a 12 to 14 hour drive from me who I'd like to visit, as I know it would cut the trip down to what ? 1 or 2 hours flying if I flew ? Perhaps if I took just a short trip flying , it would rid me of that phobia somewhat. Anybody else have my phobia ? I have other friends who live about a 5 hour flight away as well I'd like to see

Difficult to internalize that all the connections are gone
by truthseeker ini was in my old stomping ground a couple of months ago and happened to be walking past the home of an old family friend.
word is in the hall that i used to go to is that "i am one of them" meaning apostate.
no one from my old hall has contacted me to find out what happened.

TRUTHSEEKER- I totally understand where you are coming from. I was born and raised in the JW cult until age 44 when I exited years ago. I have no connections with old JW friends I used to know ( except a former buddy who's still a JW in another state and his wife who I am trying to gradually awaken to TTATT ) , but I'm quite sure that the former associates who are JW's that I knew in my old geographical area have been told all kinds of wild stories about my life now. Even some JW's in my own family won't talk to me, and I'm just inactive for 14 years , stopped attending, not dfed.
In time we start making quality friendships with people who see us for who we really are. People who see us for the humane , kind , and loving qualities we possess, not the WT cult characteristics that JW ' friends ' wanted to see in us. We make REAL friends with REAL people , not fake people who put conditions on our friendships. THat's what I've learned in gaining friendships with ex-JW or non-JW people these last 14 years. These new relationships are priceless.
Here's a song from the Moody Blues that always helped me as a teenager , it may or may not help you but enjoy the words :

"In a human moment before Jehovah grabbed her"
by truthseeker ini often wondered how far back the witnesses had been involved with my family.
my grandmother died at the end of 2013 and while going through her photos we found some of my great-grandmother, dora, who was born in 1901 and died in 1994. there is a photo of dora dated 1946 standing outside her house in east riding, yorkshire.
on the back of the photo her husband had written "in a human moment before jehovah grabbed her".. my great grandfather, who died before i was born, did not like the witnesses.

TRUTHSEEKER- Thanks for sharing such beautiful pictures of your family with us ! Your great grandfather was an astounding artist. What a wonderful sketch he drew there . Amazing.
I often wonder if my non- JW grandparents were saddened when my folks got into the Witnesses in the early 1950's. It seems your great grandfather was saddened that his wife had joined a cult. So many people have lost so many family members to this unethical WT organization. Sad. Thanks for sharing a little bit of you and your history with us. Take care, Peace out, Mr. Flipper
