[QUOTE="witzend, post: 661320, member: 99"] It is hard to find new people. I suggest joining a club or organized group that doesn't involve a theology. I find friends in singing in community choirs. We are not organized religion people. It's difficult to find activities in North Carolina that don't involve belonging to a church. For at least a year everyone we met asked "Did you find a church yet?" They're not looking to befriend you, they're looking to evangelize you. Don't go there because they will abandon you when you don't conform to their evangelical whim of the moment. If you are a church goer, go because you have that faith, not to find friends. There's no one more judgmental than an evangelical, except perhaps your FOO. Find other people who enjoy your hobby, and allow yourself - and them - to get to know each other. There will be people you fit with and people you don't, but you don't HAVE TO spend time with them. [/QUOTE]
