I'm inactive here to the local JW's as I have faded. I've been slandered and all that, shunned by some but not all, but the elders basically leave me alone. I still run into to people all over though. Lots of JW's in Cali. I ran into one young, now elder, in the local grocery store. I have known him for years.
Me - Hey Frank (name isn't Frank). How are you?
Frank - PA oh just busy doing well thank you.
(small talk....weather...work...bananas)
My kid - Did you know my birthday is in 1 week? I'm turning 5. **runs to get me potatoes**
Frank - Do you guys celebrate his birthday?
Me - Do you continue to masturbate while now serving the congregation?
Frank - WHAT!?!?
Me - Oh......I just thought we were trading questions that were none of the other persons business. My bad. Alright bud....good luck with those green bananas being ripe by tomorrow. **Pats on shoulder.
That felt good. Just kind of happened.
