Tell me about the people you spend time with in a typical month.

I think the only people I spend any time with are in my own fellowship and work.

I just don't really get out much due to covid, prior to that I would go spend time in the military lounge at the colleges and discuss issues with my fellow ex military.

My wife and I still have contact with people from the other churches we attended on our journey but by in large we left behind all our old friends except one who is a thor worshiper. No joke...

So, you don't regard this forum talk as 'fellowship' ?

Calling this forum fellowship, is like taking milk replacer or skim milk, and watering it down, and then comparing that to fresh, raw, whole milk or colostrum.

Sinceq Covid, my social life has been nonexistent. I only hang out with the goats, cats, dog and bees. Also with my in-laws who are fundamentalist, independent, Bible-believing Baptists.

Before Covid, i usually hung out with people who are different from me.

Can the poll be changed to allow multiple answers?

As far as my understanding of 'hanging out', which would be 'spending a great deal of time with' and that not necessarily being in person, just my wife, 2 cats and a dog. Not in person, would be this forum in the recent past.

For some the Internet is the main, if not almost totally, the place to hang out with others and can be through various Internet venues. And I think this also might be their #1 access to Christian fellowship. Especially those who are not 'church goers' as is my case since Covid.

That was my intent, actually. If some moderator can do that, it would be great.

Multiple options have been enabled, as well as the ability to change your vote.

These days, I'm prolly exposed to my co-workers more than anyone. Even though the roots of my employer would be Anabaptist, we employ more Catholics than anything, some more devout than others.

Virtually on social media, I would associate with some family, most I haven't seen in years though.
