I just had a situation where my soon to be brother in law came round to my dad's house to talk to him and I was there and answered the door to him. Although I myself feel a bit uncomfortable knowing what its like to be a witnoid facing a dfd person, I try to not play by their rules and converse normally with them. Its kinda funny to see them struggling to know what to do.

I'd leave it alone. and mess with them...
I'd say to the individual, "Hey, I heard you were disfellowshipped, are you?" When they say "Oh my God no!" you can say "Thank goodness. It would be really hard to cut off a good friend like you." Then I'd drop the subject.

as long as your not trying to go back and aren't worried about disrespecting the individual choice of keeping there standards who cares
I like Wasanelder Once' approach, and atypical's. I don't think W.Once' is very pragmatic, but it is very funny.
Of course it is your decision to do whatever but if it were me I'd say it was nobody's business who you are or what you are...
My thread has been resurrected, which is appropriate as it is now tax season in Australia, so I am getting calls from some of my JW clients. I have totally avoided mentioning my status where possible, and kept my mouth shut everytime someone makes an ignorant JW comment. It is amazing that it is impossible to sit with a JW for an hour without some wacky Watchtower statement being made.
One of my clients started asking all sorts of questions about my ex congregation. I eventually had to say "I don't go to meetings anymore, so I don't really know". She thought i was joking, and when I said I wasn't the look of horror on her face was very amusing. She did not ask if I was d/f and i didn't offer the info, but I doubt I will be seeing her next year.
