Awake! The silent treatment (page 2)

Great, they admit that "the silent treatment" is:

Manipulation
Retaliation and
A form of revenge
It erodes respect
Is "A tactic that, at best, works only short-term,"
It "runs counter to the Bible's admonition

-

And yet they require all R&F members to do this for extended, indefinite periods to any and all that disagree with those in charge.

Let's review: It's a cult!

How to End “the Silent Treatment”
WHAT YOU CAN DO

The first step to ending the silent treatment is to recognize it for what it is—a tactic that, at best, works only short-term. True, not talking may quench your thirst for retaliation or compel your spouse to give in to your wishes. But is that really how you want to treat someone whom you have vowed to love? There are better ways to resolve conflicts.

Oubliette, you still there to edit your post? You did such a nice summation, but forgot one thing they also mentioned -- it "prolongs conflict" !!

Oooh, it would also be great to list ALLLL the reasons they said "excommunication" was a vile, hateful thing unscripturally practiced by the Catholic Church in a 1957 Awake article. Maybe that should be under a different post if anybody has access to that article? I am on my iPad but it is on my computer somewhere....

Pure genius; I gotta remember that one.

Not a JW but a red hot Italian single parent who at times could have a short fuse. My kids also used a method called selective hearing so when I asked for things to be done they selectively heard them. Well eventually that fuse got a tad bit to short and when the hot Italian mom became extremely silent it was amazing how quickly they suddenly remembered all those things they had selectively not heard before.
