Most of them totally shun. Most of them I never liked anyway so no BFD.
I was shunned a week and a half ago by my Aunt Lois who was the Mom of the best friend I ever had. The old bitch stared a hole right through me.
Mehhhhh.

Nada a call from the old friends in the Congo.
But when we're out and about and bump into JWs we've known all over the local area, they are lovey as can be. Of course, they don't know we're "inactive" now.

Obviously, I have been marked by the 'holier' ones at the hall. On the rare occasion I go, I get the usual - we missed you Friday night thing from a few and the rest apparently don't even see me.
One young brother asked me if I had prayed for a different job so I wouldn't miss so many meetings. I told him that I thanked JHVH everday that I have the job I do (can work from home, make 4 times the average national salary, it is interesting, etc). We have the CO this week, so I know the wife will be on me to at least go Sunday. This CO is a real company man. I swear the last time he was there, he looked directly at me with a cold, dead stare as he tried to drive home the point that we need to obey the GB.
As a few others mentioned: no big loss for me. There are some nice people at the hall, but there are lots of nice people outside the hall too! I don't need their conditional love/friendship and I don't have any family in except the wife.

I am dead to every single person. I am strictly shunned. Doesn't bother me.

I've only run into one since I stopped going (this year's memorial was my last meeting) except for elders, so I've yet to see how they treat me.

Didn't see any of them when I was in, don't see anyone now I am out.
Now you have all educated me to what it's really like in the borg. I can see the hypocrisy and 'fake' love.
now I am happy happy.
they are ground down
