The one good thing about being an "inactive" JW is that you can use it to your advantage. Playing with the JW words can be useful if you know the JW mentality. When I talk to JWs online, they immediately ask me if I'm da'd or df'd. I am not, so therefore, they continue in our discussion. I am an inactive JW according to "them". And I've never been df'd or da'd, so I'm really and inactive JW in good standing {although that would make me spiritually starved/weak} What do I consider myself? An ex-jw. If there was a way to be unbaptized in association with the JWs, I could be a real ex-jw.
peace, somebody...of the immature Christian class

Yeah - to be considered an "acitve" Dub, you have to at least put in yer 15 minutes, plus be up on all the latest JW mythology they like to call "being a part of Jehovah's organization". Blech!
They don't put too much value on having a personal relationship with the Creator of your choice - it's their way or the highway!
According to them i had ceased being a witness when i became inactive. It puzzled me that dfing would still be done to a nonwitness (inactive). Kind of like double jeopardy, don't you think?
