  Looking to reconnect with some friends in the San Diego area

  i moved to san diego over 10 years ago and was still active at the time.

  since that time however, i have executed a nearly perfect fade.

  i would like to see if i can get in touch with some of the friends i had made in that short amount of time to see if they are still going or possibly have opened their eyes as well.. i went to the pacific beach congregation for quite some time and also knew/visited several friends in the kearny mesa and spring valley halls.

  I think my son and daughter in law went to the Kearny Mesa area hall . They only were there three yrs then moved to CO and faded . Would have been 2005-2008 I remember them telling me they met friends from Pacific beach and use to go to the boardwalk around there for beach fires & parties .

  i didn't know eric particularly well, and i feel terrible that i didn't reach out to him more or try to help him while i still had the opportunity.. i feel extremely helpless, but the least i can do is help others remember him who knew him better.. here is a video i've uploaded to youtube in his honor.... .

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67a0imd6dng.

  i hope it helps us as we mourn a much-loved member of this forum.. .

  to date JWism has defined my life and i hate that TRUTH

  by oompa in

  2. friends

  and i am finding the adjustment to the real world far more difficult than i ever imagined...i f...it has been about five years since i totally woke up to the fraudulant nwt and then all my other doubts i had carried for years were proved true as well.

  but almost all of my few friends are exjw or slack jw's and i feel so isolated...my sons friends are mostly exjw too but not their gf's and they have way more normal friends .

  how have you done at replacing lifelong friends and family?

  This news is so terribly sad ...I just can't stand it !! He had gone through so much to end up taking his own life is so pointless . I hate that he felt this was the only way to end his personal suffering .
