    Five years ago, I was still a loyal JW although suppressing doubts.

    I've been inactive for over a year.

    I've been out over 5 years.

    I actually lost another friend yesterday over this. I guess that's what usually happens when most of your JW friends are hardliners. I have one close friend in the org now, but i've never expressed any doubts to him.


    (((((R.F.)))))- That's pretty normal- happens to a lot of us. I lost most of my witness friends long ago- never worry though there are more friends to be made in the "world"
    You know, what's cool is I've since run into 2 of my best friends from grade school and we've restarted our once "forbidden friendship". They were some of the best friends I ever had.

    Yeah I suppose I'd have called myself a witness five years ago (if there were other witnesses listening)

    Back in 2002, I was still active as a Witless, but I was putting only one hour a month and going to one meeting every other week or so. I didn't really mean it then.

    Now, I am only a Witless on paper (an inactive one at that). Barring being recaptured by those good-for-nothing "do-gooders" that want to stop me from getting disfellowshipped at all costs, I am never going to do anything that would identify me as an active Witless again.
