Hello all!
Just watched this on BBC iPlayer and thought I post here but wobble was on the case already :)

The striking parallels with JWism are clear.
Hope you are well.
Blessings in Christ,

Does anyone remember this similar experience (Mennonites in this instance)? ..... w.05, 9/1, p. 25-6
Yes I do. When I saw that article I looked up a Mennonite website and found that their offical policy did not condone shunning. It said one of the reasons they had split from the Amish was the shunning policy.

I had already seen "Trouble in Amish Paradise" and was hopeful that these families would be ok, but watching this I couldn't help thinking of our BrotherDan. They think they have freedom, but it's only within their tiny box.
There is a lack of joy and a sad resignation to Jesse and the 2 women. It's like they're on auto pilot.
