The problem about friends

When a person gets baptized as a Jehovah's Witness they leave the "World" behind.  They are taught to believe if a person does not come over to the Jehovah's Witness side they will not be saved.  Even though every person knows their self will die, they are offended by that doctrine.  I do not blame them.  So the Jehovah's Witness loses the friends she had before baptism.  Sometimes baptized ones believe it is a good thing.  I don't and didn't.  I'm looking for a friend.


THEN when the person who is baptized wakes up to discover the Leaders of the Jehovah's Witnesses are neither faithful nor discreet like they claim to be, their "worldly friends" are already long gone.  And their "friends" in the organization who will not be their friends as long as they are escapees are lost too.


AND now that another way of thinking has been learned other  people don't seem to understand  the escapees.  Friendship is about understanding.  


There are other escapees but they are not able to be understood even by each other.  It's not like I didn't try.
