Hi Herdarkness...

And I almost feel like I'm running out of time and before I know it I will be 60 with no friends.
This made me laugh. I hit sixty 18 months ago and i can assure that its not that bad image. Seriously i do remember a time when me and my wife were sitting at home and thinking that apart from one or two people,we had no friends. That was the price we paid for leaving the Watchtower.

It was easier for us as we did not have family in the Watchtower so we were not in such a bad situation.

But it does get better and soon we were meeting some wonderful people and did make some great friendships.

One bonus for us is that we met many ex-witnesses, who turned out to be our closest friends.

There is a whole world of people out there and contrary to what the Watchtower instilled in us,there are many fine good people who know what true friendship is all about.

You are at the start of what could be a wonderful journey.
