Making new friends after fading

by M@el5trom in

what are some good methods for finding and making new friends after fading away?

i know this is critical to help myself and my wife to move on, and we both have suffered from depression partly because we are isolated to each other for now.

we are good friends, but we both feel the need for others also.

Joyzabel

Very good question, m. (and welcome to the board)

As JWs we used to have a built-in community with built-in friends. Making and having long time friends is hard to do.

Find things that both you and your wife like to do Volunteer at soup kitchens, meals on wheels, etc. Other good people help with those things and you might someone with similar interests.

Take up a hobby, golf, sailing, cards, dancing. Even going to the library and doing book reviews will get you out and meeting new people.

I'm sure there will be other suggestions, but its a start. Making new friends helps with the depression, too.

Good luck and let us know what helps you guys.

Hugs,

Joy

I recommend you read Karen Armstrong's "History of God".

Conference in Seattle, poster to give presentation

by jst2laws in

i had not intended to promote the next northwest bible conference

but have received some messages from friends who wanted to know if i would be in washingtom again for this conference.

so this will have limited interests unless you just happen to know me, you live in the seattle area and have nothing to do, or you have a peculiar interest in physics.

i received this email from a friend of a friend:.

'comments made by brother lett at morning worship today.. the comments were about the work we have of bearing witness of the truth.

" again, the angels make note of it.. we knock at the fifth house and again no one is home.

there were several young 20 year old bethelites that began to partake in the late 60s.

Steve Lett was single at the time. Left bethel to marry and special pioneer, then circuit work until he and his wife were called back to mother?

As far as the marriage thing, he married someone not "professing to be of the annointed". As far as your thread, Jesus said the next existence will not include marriage.

Steve Lett is 56. He began partaking? back in the late 60's while he was at Bethel the first time.

Mark & Jean Lett were very humble, true believers. Never let on they had lots of $$$$.
