I'm really feeling like I need some advice (please none from ex-witnesses). I have a friend {he was my study} who recently was disfellowshipped. It hurt me deeply. In fact, I was against the decision. Since the decision, I have not spoken with the person.
We were very close and I miss him greatly. I want to talk with him. Not necessarily about spiritual things (he knows the truth). But just be friends.
He was disfellowshipped because of a drinking problem. I feel that he could have been better helped by another means other than what has occurred. I really don't know what to do.
I'm afraid to talk to just anyone. Please give me some advice.
