  hello hamas,

  i was sorry to read this story. i am sorry for the pain and disappointment you are going through.

  if it helps at all, please remember that the actions of your friend are largely not personal, but based on fear. he is misguidedly trying to protect himself from -- not you -- but what he perceives to be threatening his faith, his future, his security, his relationship with his god. he, at this moment, is being ruled by fear and is throwing love aside, just as love casts fear aside. take it from me, who once lived that same life full of fear.

  know that all of your friends here understand and are here to support you.

  very best wishes, nowisee

  Hamas.........Yeah that really sucks.

  But you've escaped the watchtower, hopefully your friend will some day too.

  In the meantime, get on with trying to make new friends. The real kind, who don't care, what religion you do or do not belong to !

  Dear Hamas

  I´m so sorry for you,I wish the people who do this to others could feel the pain they make others suffer.Maybe one day his eyes will be opened and he´ll come to you looking for your friendship and help.You never know. In the mean while go out and make REAL friends who don´t throw you away on the command of others.

  I have said it before and will say it again: the WT and it´ds dubs are like a mother who eats her own chikldren.

  Big hug to you,

  Viktoria

  Hamas, I'm sorry to hear that.

  I guess its a fine example of Watchtower love ; once a 'friend' leaves, he becomes an enemy

  Yup, I'm experiencing that, too, for myself.

  But remember that suicide bombing is not an option.

  Hamas,

  I am so sorry your former best friend has disowned you. Please remember that he is brainwashed by the hateful religion. I only hope that someday he will also escape from the Watchtower.

  Hamas, I don't really know best what to say. I'm sorry to hear of yet another friendship falling under the iron boot of the Empire. Both of you took a loss. Both you and your "friend". Don't forget that he also lost a friend.

  If he ever comes around some day, be there waiting with open arms. It doesn't have to be a permanent loss.

  Mike.
