Are you still close to any of your Witness friends, who are still active? (page 2)

My BF how is my ex husbands sisterand she is still JW..........now more then before and we are still BF. I have noticed that this last year she seems more in then ever before...but she doesn't treat me any different. Her cong is very laid back and she was always encouraged a ways back when she had a smoking problem and other stuff.....so she has lots of friends there that are supportive of her being an unwed single mom. I guess if I was in her situation I would probably stay in just for all the help she gets. She knows my background and what i've been through and doesn't judge me for my desicion. Her sister on the other hand is out...never baptized...but we don't have the same conection....still have some great conversations though.

There is one female friend I have known since 1968. She has always kept up with me. In my opinion she is no longer a witness but she seems to believe she is so I guess she is.

She used to call me occasionally to catch up. Several months ago I started telling her some of the things I had learned here on JWD. She has not called me since. I did follow up with a few emails directing her to specific threads here and she didn't respond.

About a week ago I sent her the link to the news article about the 16 settlements on the court cases. She responded with a "Thanks, that was interesting." She still forwards me lots of silly emails but no more phone calls.

Yes, one girl I've known for years. She's a good person, she's only 27 and raising her husbands sisters kid. She has 2 little ones of her own also, so I like to have her come over when ever I get that "baby bug". Nothing like 3 little kids running all over the place to cure that right up ;)

Yes, my sister. Ever so often we have a fiery discussion. I think we've got our hot-blooded Mediterranean genes to thank for that lol but other than that she is more open minded than your average j-dub and is able to argue her position without running to "Reasoning" book unlike most of them. Last time she even jokingly said "agrhhh I hate you" lol but she always come back for more :) I think there is something deep down there that intrigues her. But she doesn't shun me even though sometimes creates problems for me in other ways but thats another story.

Only Mary.

Seriously, there is nobody who I am close with anymore, inside the truth. They've all shunned me since I left, and it's been for the best, really.

There are a few older ones, who still ask my mom about me, and they send their "love" to me, but that's about it. I don't even recognize them anymore when I'm out and about, unless my husband says" There's so-snd-so".
