  The only thing you can do is live and forget them. If you dwell on what you can not change it only disturbes you. I moved because I had to many family members near me that would make it known that I was not good enough because I did not go to KH. Screw them. It was cold where I lived and I am moving closer to family and its a bit warmer.

  You can never be free if you alway see them day after day. My wifes sister got divorced from a witness and she remained in the org. She sees this guy every meeting with his new wife. And she can't treat him as the idiot he is. If forces you into so many confinements its crazy. Freedom is just walking away. Its as simple as that.

  (In the UK) could records of who is disfellowshipped be in violation of the Data Protection Act?

  See Section 10: Right to prevent processing likely to cause damage or distress

  http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/29/section/10

  Encouraging shunning by friends and family would certainly cause distress.

  Thus, the existence of records of who is disfellowshipped, along with the clear policy of how they should be treated, is an abuse of personal information, and illegal.

  This could be a possible legal recourse for those affected by disfellowshipping, on this forum and elsewhere.
