    Changeling,

    I am only "inactive", not DF'd or DA'd.

    H40 and I are also just long time faders (inactive) have received the same reaction from some .

    I think it shows an uneasiness in their mind... they must pigeon hole everyone. It's not about how

    they truly feel but "what am I required to do in this situation. There are two approaches..

    1. "love bomb "again .. to draw you back 2. punish you to push you back in

    As someone already stated "no one runs from an inferior"... it show the uneasiness people have

    in handling these situations.

    There is the hard approach to shun you..or soft approach to "encourage " you to return.

    If they play hard approach and you play soft approach it throws their mind into a quandary!

    Remember implanted phobia's produce unrealistic fears where you react rather reason or think

    Any unexpected reaction may force them to think.. to awaken..

    The more people that refuse to display a standard reaction can change the whole shunning concept in time

    Perhaps it isn't her, but you?

    JG...I'm interested in what you mean exactly...

    I thought that it was made clear that the "sister" avoided contact even after changeling made eye contact and smiled. Am I misreading something?

    I'm sure that in the mind of the "sister", it is changeling and not herself. Her reasoning will be that changeling has forsaken her faith and turned her back on Jehovah thus she is not deserving of a pleasant exchange of greeting.

    For those who have experienced this type of shunning however, realization dawns that it's cult mentality that drives people to act this way.

    I didn't read all the replies, but if it ever happens again, wait around the corner near the registers, and when you see her get in line, get in back of her, and ask her "how are you, ....? Then when she doesn't answer, say out loud that she won't talk to you because j.w.'s are supposed to shun "weak ones" in their religion.

    CHANGELING- I love to go into a witness check out clerk's express line at the supermarket in a town where I used to live; just to see what reaction I get. The first time she tried preaching to me to come back to meetings - then I proceede to inform her I was offended by the child abuse scandal and tell her so as she checked out my groceries. This last week I went through her line - she brought nothing up about the witnesses ! Scoreboard ! Slam dunk. Sorry you had to experience the typical witness lunacy
