What's wrong with Christmas and Halloween?
It sounds like your thinking is still being controlled by the Watch Tower.

fc, if you don't like most people, maybe the issue isn't them.
Colossians 2:16: Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon celebration or a Sabbath day.
If you're looking for clean, God-fearing people who are no part of this world, maybe you should become Amish or Mennonite... well if you're looking at the Christian faith that is. There are other faiths to consider as well so maybe look into these too.

Its not about judging. Its fact that those holidays stem from pagan roots. I dont think a true christian should cling to tradition instead of gods will. As far as me not likeing most people. Most people are zombies. Aimlessly going through life connected to thier phones. No one really communicates anymore. Honor and integrity are not valued these days. Its hard to find old school people.

You sound like someone who needs to break free and meet some real non-brainwashed people.......unlike the Convention Drama not all "worldly" people are demons...let go!

Have you thought about starting your own religion? You could establish the rules/doctrines yourself.
This young man did it. He now has seven million followers.
If the JW religion is the one that most closely aligns with your values, perhaps you can continue with them, and try to overlook the imperfections of the individual brothers and sisters. Recall that even Jesus disciples were deeply flawed men, as were many loyal ones in the OT.

Life has become meaningless for me. I have no friends because I dont like most people. I get into bad relationships with women that dont last long. I dont know where I belong.
I would strongly recommend professional counseling. It seems you have some very profound issues beyond "finding where God's people are".

You need to step over to the dark side and live a little.
