Even if you don't regard yourself as a practicing JW, some may view you simply as inactive, a lost sheep, etc.
If you were baptized but not disfellowshipped or disassociated, you may still be a JW---right? Your thoughts please.

I am an inactive brother "Who" will get wiped out if I don't get back into the Ark of salvation before all hell breaks loose.
I'm waiting for the first drop of rain.
I'll bite. As my name suggests, I am still "in." I attend more than half of the meetings but I think that most people understand that I am simply bringing my wife because other than that I am inactive.
I was still giving talks on the school up until recently. People enjoy them and probably expect me to "come back" one day. I also comment sometimes at meetings, but mostly only if there is something to say that hasn't just been read out loud.
interesting responses so far
I haven't been to a meeting in 5 years and I broke off contact by telling the elders I wanted to be left alone when they visited me more than a year I stopped going suddenly. I'm sure that I am still on their radar since my wife is active but they are all staying clear of me except for one brother and when we spend time together he never brings up JW stuff...strange indeed. So technically I still am a JW but I am not telling anyone.

I'm not DF'd but haven't been to a meeting in over a year and a half. I have no idea what others think. If they don't/can't/won't continue to keep in touch like normal friends and family then I don't really care what they think. Why should I?
As everyone on this board knows, I think: It's a cult!
