  Hi!

  I still am newly inactive (5 months). I just moved to a new area, feeling pretty good about things. Finding out about myself and what I want from life for me and my daughter.

  Today my door bell rang. Not afraid to answer it (nobody knows where I am) I go to the door. There stood Mr. Elder, wanting to offer me some mag's. I told him I wasn't interested,but I did have a question for him. I asked him why the wt was an NGO/DPI associated with the UN for 10 years? He genuinely looked startled and said there had to be some sort of misunderstanding. He wanted to know how I was aware of the Wt's stand of the UN. I told him I have friends that are jw's.
  He then quickley dismissed himself, but not before he offered me the invitation to go to his hall.

  I feel pertty good about the whole thing. I stood up and asked the questions that needed to be asked. Not that i got an answer, but I at least asked.

  finding friends outside the Borg - a Scary thought

  by lydia in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone else found that the teaching of the "outside world" being a "bad association" limits your involvement and ability to make new freinds?.

  if so how have you overcome this and any suggestions to helping those suffering from these feelings?.

  Hi!
  I completely understand! I left about a year ago and I still do not have any friends. Worse than that, I don't even know how to go about meeting people. There is an awkwardness in talking with people that makes conversation tense. When your an active jw, you are so busy just trying to keep up with the reading, meetings, etc. that you are left without anything to talk about that "worldy" people are going to want to listen to. All I can say is keep trying. Hopefully, it will get easier.

  Here I go! Forgive me if this rambels a little. I need to vent.
  First of all, let me say that I have been a jw for 10 or so years. When I started "studying" I was younger had many friends and a loving family. I was a little naive but still curious about the world around me. Any way, as soon as I became serious I started to loose my friends and family. No big surprise there! However, I was told that whatever I lost from the world I would gain 2x in Jah's org. Being a single sister this was important for me because I lost my friends and family after I was baptized. I noticed in my KH there were 3 different groups of people the very young, the very old, or the married couples. This was really hard for me! I have never been so lonely or depressed in my entire life. So, I left for awhile. I got pregnant. Because of the guilt I felt about my child dying because of me I tried to go back. I did the whole public reproof thing. I was a single parent trying to do the best that I could. I got a 2nd shift job so I didn't have to put her in daycare and her father would watch her at night. I was told that this was just an excuse to not go to the meetings. Some of the "friends" would spy on me, waiting on the street to see when I was coming or going and with whom. They would even call my house when they knew I wasn't there, just to try and get
  info from my childs father. Like how our relationship is going?
  These Brothers and Sisters barely even knew I existed when I was active and now they want to know how I'm doing? Why?

  Thanks,

  However, what's the point of living forever if none of the rest of my family won't be there. (I was the only JW in the family)
  If anyone could give me an idea on how to get over these feelings I would really appreciate it. Thanks
