If you stop lifting weights will you stay as strong as you were when you were lifting. If you stop running will you be as fit as you were when you were running 5 miles a day?

It will decrease over time. If your not training at all you might notice a quick drop off at first but this is more due to muscle atrophy then the bone. Your age will have a lot to do with the rate of loss for bone density. It also depends on the level of conditioning before you stopped training.
I don't know, probably not.
However, the initial trepidation about smashing something, breaking something, conditioning a body part against the unforgiving tress or whatever, won't be there like it was when you were a neophyte. So you always have that going for you.

When you do bone conditioning you can tell when the bone isn't as strong as it used to be and that you need to get back to conditioning. It's sort of like being in shape vs being out of shape. You will notice the difference no matter how small it is.
If you are doing bone conditioning then the density of your bone will remain to a certain extent provided that age, disease, and genetics are working in your favor. The important thing to understand about bone conditioning is that, this isn't the natural bone density that your genetics starts off with. You are manually increasing the density of your bones, anything that you manually have to do to achieve will require some maintenance work in order to keep it.
The good thing is that the bone conditioning last longer than the muscle and cardio conditioning. If you do bone conditioning for 5 years and then stop doing it. Then 3 years later you will still have considerably more density than someone who doesn't do it. The shin bones won't be as dense as they were 5 years ago, but a person who doesn't do bone conditioning will still think your shins are made of steal. Like Hosin stated below.

Nothing stays forever, I am afraid...
The good news is even if you lose bone density at the same rate of every other untrained person, but start loosing from higher bone density, you will be in better condition than untrained people for long time. My 50 cents...

Old saying said, "If you stop training for 3 days, your arms and legs are no longer be yours." This is why it's important to maintain your MA ability daily.
