What a great subject, but take comfort that the government, at least in the U.S.A, has been made aware of the practice of shunning by Jehovah's Witnesses. We have been told that religions do have a right to practice shunning, so we have brought to the attention of local and federal agencies the fact that Jehovah's Witnesses teach and practice hatred! This is clearly seen in their publications such as is stated in Watchtower Oct. 1,1952, July 15,1992-Sept. 15, 1993, July 1,1994, June 15,1995, March 15, 1996, and one truly offensive statment made in the Watchtower Nov. 15, 1952, which states:"
Being limited by the laws of the worldly nation in which we live and also by the laws of God through Jesus Christ, we can take action against apostates only to a certain extent, that is, consistent with both sets of laws. The law of the land and God's law through Christ forbid us to kill apostates, even though they be members of our own flesh-and-blood family relationship. However, God's law requires us to recognize their being disfellowshipped from his congregation , and this despite the fact that the law of the land in which we live requires us under some natural obligation to live with and have dealings with such apostates under the same roof."
This disgusting Watchtower article is, in fact, encouraged and enforced hatred to be shown to any and all who disagree with the Watchtower organization! This is without question to be considered inflamatory, and needs further investigation by the proper governmental authorities.
