    I reprted 5 studies the month I was Df'd. More than a year has passed since I have seen any of my students. I got on so well with many of them, we became friends.

    Did I do the right thing? .............. I got in touch with one of them and I am visiting her today after lunch. I want to tell her TTATT and my experience. But I also want to form a circle of real unconditional friends. Did I do the right thing?

    I will post how it went later today.

    I'd forget the 'Bible students' part and replace with 'friends'. If they are friends......yeah, hell, why not. If they're axe murderes then be a bit more careful. Ya know what I mean, methinks.

    But........................

    Forget the TTATT stuff.........just enjoy life. Tell them you've changed your religious views and don't elaborate. Leave it at that. Otherwise they might think you're swapping from one faith to another and think you're gonna bore their backsides off with whatever your current view will be.

    If THEY ask about the WBT$ cult then just answer their question and don't elaborate.

    Howzat kiddo?

    Take it SLOWLY.....my advice it to just keep it on an 'olf friends' level until you get a feel for current circumstances. Then introduce TTATT gradually as seems appropriate.

    Good advice Paul,

    Thank you. So true about not wanting to bore them, if they ask I will be honest, but I will put more effort into being friendly and discussing topics of their choosing, and make plans next time for a lunch or cinema. Doing a funch sociable activity.

    Good idea's Paul indeed. I will let you know how it goes.

    Like Punky said too, I might not even need to if they are so far removed from getting baptised. Kate xx

    I kept in touch with some of mine, mainly to apologize to them that I had been teaching them lies and ensure they didn't get taken over by some over zealous JW.
