My first reaction? Well, I guess I don't 'fear' them anymore, and I don't 'hate' them either, so I really don't know.
A few months ago, I spotted my ex-brother-in-law at a fast-food eatery, and I approached him and said, 'Hi'. He wasn't too comfortable talking to me... not sure if it's because I divorced his sister, or what. To my knowledge, I am just a 'walk a way', and never DA'ed or was DF'ed (to my knowledge). (If it was because of the divorce, he ain't got much room to talk, he's on his second wife.)
I see the JWs many times on the weekends all dressed up - even the little boys and girls (a dead give-away). I just observe them, and try to leave them alone.
My wife laughs at me, when we are driving, and happen to pass a KH, I will hiss vehemently like a cat at the building. The first time I did it, she was like, "What?". She then figured out what I was doing, and now just laughs.
The few times that I've had contact with JWs who are 'witnessing', I usually turn them off relatively quickly and they leave (or flee).
