When possible it would be helpful to express to JWs how we feel about the shunning practices. When I left I was under orders to not speak to any JWs that I met. Since the WTS no longer has any authority over me I speak to whom I like ? when I like. No subject is taboo for me. And I do not feel under compulsion to warn them that I was DFed although I will tell them if asked directly
LadyLee,
I do the same thing. When I see JW's around town, they usually get really uncomfortable (you can tell by their body language). I just smile and say hello and walk right by them.
Thanks for this interesting thread!!
