I can't see that ever happening in reality, but if it did, there are very few people I'd allow to be a part of my life again, if they came around, and I certainly wouldn't go looking for them. Many of my so-called "friends" when I was in, behaved in horrible ways, completely aside from WT doctrine or policy, and I would never choose them to be friends if I met them now, so a shared history is not enough.
The problems with my family also exist partially outside the realm of shunning, but at least if they would stop that crap, there would be a chance of communication in the future, although I'm 44 years old now and they are in their late 60s, so I question whether it would be a matter of "too little too late."
