OMG..Omg..Omg... Yep, I agree with Sparkplug.
Family is harder to give up than friends, because they are what you have known your entire life. You can and will make new friends though, plus you have your own wife and new family to enjoy. At your age, you will NOT believe how different your life will be in 15 years, but I will tell you this, there is a VERY good chance that many of your family and former friends we not be going to the Kindom Hall in the next few years, and if you are willing, they may be grilling out in your back yard with you.
An Elder in my hall I never even cared for took his best friends wife. They got married. They did everything right. She was out 6 years, he was out 9! I did not even like the guy and felt sorry for him.
beyond judgemental.....forgive 77 times...oompa
