At the office today I had a "came across" with a JW colleague. I was greeting him friendly. He was greeting me with a forced "Hello".
While saying the word "Hello" he looked down to me, like I was inferior.
Do you recognize these "look down's", because you are an inactive JW?

Up his!

. . .But he spoke this illustration also to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and who considered the rest as nothing: 10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood and began to pray these things to himself, ‘O God, I thank you I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax collector ["or even as this Gorbatchov fellow"]. 12 I fast twice a week, I give the tenth of all things I acquire.. . .
Gorbi, they are trying to look down at you from below. a real feat of contortion. Krutchev to Nixon: "we will bury you."

He is probably just uncomfortable. It is normal when you see someone you know to greet them. He thinks he should not be too friendly because of your status, but he doesn't quite know how to do that. I wouldn't take it personal, be cool and friendly, it will show him you aren't any different just because you don't go to the Kingdom Hall. They expect you to act ashamed, don't let him see you sweat
I was shunned by a work colleague at work, and he would only talk to me on project issues, after I disclosed to him I doubted the 1914 chronology back in around 1980. I subsequently called him while I was back in Ireland from US after all these years, he was and is still active but he wanted to meet up while I was in town. My newish baptist's wife did not want anything of this, so I declined, but we keep in touch by e-mail occasionally.

Very ironic, given that in CoC, Ray disclosed that several GB members were doubting the 1914 chronology themselves, including Knorr.
yep, exoerianced it a month ago at lunch with a few dubs. One came along I didn't know, and when he saw my evil goatie, he wrinkled his nose at me the whole time. Worthless, judgemental, oxygen wasting boneheads.
@Wha happened?
Don't feel irritated, you should pity them. They have removed all reasonable thoughts of their own and replaced them with someone else's, even if they don't understand them or can defend them.
Truth is, that little JDub is terrified of displeasing his masters and his reaction to you was a public display to his friends to "prove" his worthiness and his spirituality.
Shame he hasn't noticed that all WT angels have beards, thus showing the beard to be 'holy' in the sight of God and the WT.
Splash.
