crazyblonde...I might just go ahead and do that. I suppose I could call one of the elders at the KH and ask if I've already been given the old heave-ho, but I don't really want to do that. I've been flip-flopping (in the finest WTS tradition) about whether to send a letter or not, but I do think I'd feel better if I did it. I like the idea of officially cutting ties on my terms and having a record of it.
Honesty...you crack me up! Now that I think on it, though, there have been fewer and fewer "friends" coming by to check up on me over the past year. I think what pisses me off about Brother Goof is that he's never been uber dub, he invites his "worldly" neighbers over for dinner and all kinds of frowned-upon activities. Maybe his new wife is schooling him in the ways JW are really supposed to act. I must say that it annoys me that he makes a point of talking to my father, but now I'm apparently not worthy of even a greeting. Its funny that you can intellectually know how shunning works, but until you are shunned yourself, you don't truly understand. I don't even want to talk to the guy, you know? I just hate being ignored like I don't exist.
Panda...he wouldn't make eye contact (turned his back to me almost instantly and started a convo with the manager. I've decided that I'm not going to play his game, though. Next time, I'll make a point of saying "hello" and watch him squirm.
Good point, netty. Could be they're tightening the screws and he's just responding to that.
