The non-jws who we put off after becoming jws are understanding, Happy. We reconnected with old friends we had when we had become jws and stopped hanging with them. After 30 years they accepted us right back with no questions asked!

I know exactly what you mean. Talk about picking up right where you left off huh? These people that are my family were always vilified as "part of the world" "bad association" and the like but the truth is that even though they were dropped like hot potatoes for more "up building association" they welcomed me back with open arms and they continue to be open. They're not consumed with how I make them look with my so-called spirituality or how many pioneer hours I'm putting in every month. They're just there and cool about things. Boggles my mind how that could ever be considered a bad thing.

Can I just say how much I LOVE WICKED?! It's great. Elphaba is my spirit animal and it really does correlate with the organization. The GB is the Wizard and the kids that are already against Elphie when she gets to school are the rank 'n' file Jdubs. So quick to follow but never ready to lead. Point blank period.
