Building new friendships
by troubled mind inon the thread about 'moving on after leaving the witnesses', it brought to mind how hard it is to build new friendships .. for me i have been out for a little over three years .
i knew before i quit that it would be important to fill the void that would be left when old "friends" began dropping us .
lucky for me i worked with some very fun out going people at my job .

How did you feel about attending another church?
by digderidoo inthis question is for those who have attended another church since leaving the jw's.. i have considered attending a local church, firstly out of curiosity and secondly because i do enjoy discussing the bible with people and learning new thoughts on scripture.. the only thing that stops me though is crossing that line.
i guess it was a bit like when i first posted here, it took me ages to pluck up the courage and now what was the big deal?.
did anyone else have this feeling before attending another church, that feeling of crossing the line of no return.

So Far So Good, Here
by minimus inthis place is fun.
it seems that as long as we follow the spirit of the rules in this forum, we can co-exist pretty well.
it's nice to have the "newbies" back on the site.

Did you feel like you made a difference?
by purplesofa ini have been reading the courage to give, inspiring stories of people who triumphed over tragedy to make a difference in the world.. .
millard fuller's, founder of habitat for humanity, story is in this book.. he became a millionaire and in the process of working too much was faced with losing his wife.
we need to give it away and make ourselves available for whatever god wants us to do.
