Reverse Shunning

    I like what Gary said about taking the world one person at a time. I don't want to lump the whole world into neat categories and stereotypes. Jws are the ones who do that(get it? get it?). I personally don't like lumping individuals into groups, and I try to have good manners. But like others said before me, I don't feel that I have to tolerate bad treatment from anyone. Whenever I run into local jws, I am friendly and polite while keeping the conversation short and avoiding any personal questions. If they make a show of ignoring or shunning me, I find it a little bit freeing to play dumb and tap them on the shoulder like they didn't realize I was there.

    'reverse shunning' never really works. All it does is reinforce their 'persecution' complex.

    Isn't it funny how the moment you turn the JW's rhetoric and actions back on them, they cry "persecution?"
