  As I walked through the streets of my hometown I walked past a 'sister'TM)

  At first I didn't recognize her as I wasn't paying attention.

  She sort of gave me a bit of a smile (or did she have wind/gas?)

  After I has passed her, it dawned on me who it was.

  I'd given her family lifts to meetings and socialised with them.

  I then realized she'd shunned me. She adopted a haughty, nose in the air smirk.

  ....you know what?

  I wasn't bothered. I felt no emotions. After all our so called 'friendship' over the years, she obeyed the GB and didn't talk.

  Good for her! I don't give a sh!t anymore. She'll grow old and die still waiting for 'armageddon(R)'.

  I now realize how I've moved on from the pettiness of the cult.

  you should have just asked her what the new armaggedon date was because you wanted to know when to pull your money out of the IRA.

  Punky, in that sort of situation I would have thought she felt YOU were shunning her ! I do hope so.

  It is always good to hear of an escapee not feeling bad or anxious when seeing their former friends

  I have been experiencing "preemptive" shunning. I have been inactive for about a year and a half; but went to the DA last summer. Most elders; unless having to make eye contact or unable to avoid me; would walk right on by. Some were close friends for decades. Today I was at one of the suppliers my company uses for electrical products and an elder from my hall was there picking something up. He saw me at the counter doing my thing and he almost came over; but you could see by his body language that he was thinking better of it. I find that since the word is out that I don't go to meetings any more that many of the r and f just walk on by too. However that's ok since most are ignorant self righteous.....well you get the picture.

  On another note; I have been trying to start some threads of my own; have done so in the past but it seems that I can't; anyone have any ideas? Maybe I'm just missing something.

  Have a great day everyone.
