Seasoned with salt ^^
I need to be more tactful to the people shunning me!
Maybe try to "win them over without a word"?

You ever see those videos of the guy dressed like a potted plant jumping out at people walking by?
It'll be a lot like that...
HELLO NAPA!!

I've been thinking about this.
I KNOW this small town. It's got gossip down to a science.I can with almost 100% certainty be sure that one of those maniacs texted somebody before I could even get home. "Guess who I saw?!?"
This will be fun. I'll go out looking for them in the wild.
I know all their hangouts."BOO!!"
< hilarity ensues >

They had local needs talks about ME and apostasy.
In front of all my friends and in-law family of 25 years.Think it through.
Just the fact that I'm SEEN by them is a sin in their sick eyes!
I wouldn't want to offend the poor persecuted dubs...
Maybe I should just stay home so as not to offend the exJW community, either? -

Am I an asshole? Probably.
Do I care? Not particularly.

What if I were a dub and I rolled past the lit cart, made eye contact with my fellow servants of jah and gave a hearty 'thumbs up'? Totally cool, right?
I just went thumbs down instead.

Nope. I have known them all for 25 years.
Shall i name them?
Two of them, twins, were students in a driving school I ran.
I installed tile in their homes and have worked in field service with all of them.
These are not strangers and I agree, my conduct would be weird if that were the case.You guys apparently ( evidently ) don't have the same level of pain I have seeing all these former friends every time I run errands here in a small town.
---
I won't be mean, I'll just blurt out whatever truth I see fit for the occasion.
All they know is, their once good friend went APOSTATE 4 years ago.
Only one in this town's history that I am aware of.Got to live up to my reputation, I guess, because there's no recovery from that 'sin'.

Have I gone crazy?

Thanks for the replies.
I don't expect Kieth will ever forget that moment.
We worked together as builders, I know all of his family, he's going to dwell.Check this out:
When he was DFd, I came across him leaving a grocery store. I didn't hesitate and shook his hand immediately. He was appalled, looked down and walked away as if I led him into sin. Poor man.Both his adult sons are 'out', as well.

As a side point, I drove past a fully manned ( sistered? ) lit cart today, four of them.
I went by real slow, got eye contact with all of them and showed a very emphatic 'thumbs down'.
All those council points for gestures finally paid off!! -

I was walking out of the store and I passed a former JW associate of 20+ years. "Keith"
He was an elder, got DF'd, lost his wife, got reinstated and last I heard started pioneering!
So I see him as I'm walking to my parking spot.I stop, look him straight in the face and yell from 20 feet away,
"You're in a CULT. You're in a cult, dude!"I turned and walked away and did not look back ( to avoid turning into salt )
Felt great, actually.
I plan on refining my message.
I'm thinking walk right up and say.
"Research your religion. You're in a cult that protects pedophiles.
Stop wasting your life!"That might shock a former friend of 20-25 years that hasn't seen you for four years, right?
From a stranger, they'd just laugh you off.
I'm talking about people we used to travel with. Dinner with families, etc.
The people that just shun without a goodbye. -

Do they even realise how disgustingly immoral this is and how badly it reflects on the God they worship?
by doubtfull1799 infound this little gem when going through the daily texts.... so let me get this straight.... god knows your suffering really badly and wants to help.
he knows you feel like you're at your limit, but he also knows that you are not really - that you can handle some more suffering.
so instead of helping, he "patiently" waits till you are at your absolute limit, and only then does he help!?.

Even if they were right, it's a cult of cruelty, hatred and judgement.
They have policies that allow pedophiles to run wild.I can't worship a god like that.
