Sucks buddy, I feel for ya, grew up with some very important JW's (important to me) in the fold and out. One of my childhood buddies has to reconcile his friendship with me every time we meet before we get back to being friends, and the other (who left) has no family other than the one she made for herself at this point.
He (the JW buddy) trips all over himself when he talks to me - it's the only way I know he;s still the same jackass I grew up with. He'll say things like "It was great to be round the good people" and then immediately - with truly anguished eyes, say "not that you aren't, you know, you're different" and I see the 8 year old kid who didn't realize we weren't the same again.
She (the ex JW) cries in private, but puts on the solid show.... truly sobs.....
Welcome aboard, I got a soft spot for ex-witnesses. Fucking horrible religion.
