This irked me on some level, and I had to share to see if anyone has had similar things happen.
I had this friend back when I was in the troof. We had a bit of a falling out, before I left, but nothing huge. I go away and leave the borg, eventually getting DA'd, and move hundreds of miles away due to an unrelated job opportunity. Meanwhile I hear my friend (I think he was an elder) dumps his wife, and moves on with some new woman in the middle of the night. Obviously he leaves the Borg too (Though in a bit more flare then I did). End of story. Well not really.
A few weeks ago I happen to be in a different city altogether waiting for a table when I see my old pal, coming out of the restaurant with some woman I don't recognize. What were the odds? So, I said hello to him, but he acted like he didn't hear me. His date got embarassed and tld him someone was trying to talk to him. He looked up at me.
"Hey man it's been years. Wow, it's good to see you. You know I moved?" I asked.
He looked around nervously.
"Yeah I moved years ago. I'm out of it man, just wanted to say hi." I tried to explain, but he was already looknig away.
"Uh, I got to go. I'll talk to you later." and out the restaurant he went, confused broad in arm. Those with me wondered why he acted like that.
"Well, I guess he's always been kind of a butthead. Maybe he stiffed the waitor."
Do disfellowshipped people sometimes still feel the old JW urge to label out other X-jdubs as bad association? That was wierd. Dude, if you're out there reading this, you know who you are. You left that dog, behind. Don't take it's fleas with you.
