PE, I have had a few experiences similar to yours. The most recent was a few months ago where I was at work in a retail store. In walks a former friend who was raised and baptized a JW but cheated on her first husband and escaped DFing by crying to the elders about her husband who thus became an alcoholic. (He was dfed, not her!)
Fast forward a few years and low and behold We both had moved several hundred miles away (she a few years prior) to the SAME congregation! We renewed our friendship 'cause she was a very happy, fun person to be around. So fun, in fact, that she and my (1st) husband flirted openly with each other. I later found out that he had given her $500.00 as a gift when he was penny-pinching me. She later meets my single and DFed cousin and hit it off great until he realized he could never take her home to meet his JW family. ( they had been fornicating like rabbits.) My cousin broke it off, then suddenly got cancer and died, I got a traumatic divorce, she became INACTIVE, I then avoided her because I was afraid she would "weaken" my faith. LOL
She next marries a much younger "worldly" man she barely knew. Soon after, she gets in a horrible car accident that killed her mother and left her with a traumatic brain injury and a divorce from the new hubby.
Meanwhile, my 2nd hubby and I learn TTATT and become merely inactive. I didn't see or hear from her until that day when she came into the store loudly asking if I was still a JW and if not, why not.
I simply said, "I don't believe it anymore." She loudly exclaimed, "Are you an Apostate???" I couldn't make a scene so I escorted her to the door, told her it was good to see her and walked her partway to her car.
The next day I started getting e-mails encouraging me to "return to Jehovah" I decided to ask her if anything "unusual" happened between her and *** (my 1st husband). Well, what do you know, the e-mails stopped. She is right where she belongs. Let Watchtower take care of her. LOL!
