    • My entire social network of Jw's. Friends I had had for well over 35 years in many cases.
    • My MIL, SIL's, BIL's from my wife's side of the family.
    • My very best friend of over 35 years - who is also my cousin.

    All of them 5 years ago when I left the Jw's.

    I lost everyone I had counted as a "friend" for over thirty years...all my adult life.How many came to my home for book studyor get togethers.

    How many did I give rides to or pick up their kids from here or there, or watch their kids, or take food to?

    My family was not witnesses, in fact, viewed them as a cult....now, as some mentioned, you can't just run to them and say, "Hi, what's been happening for the last thirty years? Let's get together now."

    I guess I"m blessed.

    I contacted cousins and family I only knew from meeting once or twice and they said, "Good, we've been waiting for you!" They had been sending Christmas and birthday cards my whole childhood....none of which I received, of course.

    And a lot of "Friends"

    And Jesus replied, "I assure you that everyone who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or property, for my sake and for the Good News, will receive now in return, a hundred times over, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and property--with persecutions. And in the world to come they will have eternal life. But many who seem to be important now will be the least important then, and those who are considered least here will be the greatest then." - Mar 10:29-31 NLT
