I had this 'friend',she also goes to the weekly meetings of JW's.
Actually we were good friends, but she had no respect for me sometimes.I just ignored that at the beginning,but she kept disrespect me,what began to irritate me.
I asked myself is she worth a further friendship and the answer was..no.
The past month I had a little fight with her and realized that I should quit the friendship, and I did.
My message for those who don't know: Even within the congregation you have to look good who is worth a good friendship and who isn't.
Better have 1 good upbuilding friend than 10 fake friends.That is a life-lesson to me.
finaly honest to myself

I would recommend that you choose your friends, not based on their religion, but based on their ethics.

Which environment is that?
Hard to find good friends who are not JW's. That is crap and you know it.
Come on, get out of that box that you are encircled to.
Wait.
I guess since you are a JW, you're afraid to that because that means losing your sheltered JW life.

Of course it is hard to find good friends in your environment of those who are not JWs. It's because you already consider it a bad environment because they are not JWs. Why don't you try evaluating the people you meet before passing judgement on them, and you may find closer friends who love you for WHO you are rather than WHAT you believe.It's a concept that some call "True friendship".

Obviously she wants to be a JW. We must also respect that choice. If she wants to leave she will do it in her time. Usually the eye opening takes some times as you surely know.
