Marvin: It's sad irony that the same organization that admits there "is no more potent killer than isolation" then goes on to use isolation on its membership.
I don't think it's ironic; I think it is very deliberate. The WT leadership absolutely knows what a powerful tool of manipulation ostracism and shunning is.
They wield it as a weapon.
It's like prosecutor Steward said by their policies they have created a captive organization or held captive by the organization no matter which way you slice it it still means the same thing, I think his statements was meant to give direction for further prosecution which will occur later.
A can of worms as regarding to lawsuits has been opened by the Royal Commissions public statements they have lost all credibility and the sharks are circling I see many many lawsuit and many for sale signs on WT property and finally bankruptcy.
I have heard speakers say ( about vocal apostates), ' why don't they just leave?'. I have always wanted to shout out ' why don't you let the leave without repercussions? Why don't you let someone annul their baptism without making them bear the heavy cost of shunning from their family. How can you hold shunning over someone's head just because they were baptized, often at an age too yojng to make such a commitment?
Arghh
Its obvious the WTS created and uses its own terminology to support itself, an inherent endeavor to sustain power and control toward the men at the top . So why not create your own laws to protect and sustain that assuming power and control ?
Back in the 1940's and even early the WTS heads such as J Rutherford subjugated his own power and control over the Watchtower Corporation. As it's known he received opposition from not only outside of " his " organization but inside as well, as those who were opposed to his reforming the doctrines already created by C T Russell.
He undignified them by identifying them as the evil slave class. those who remained faithful to him were praised as righteous and spiritually strong to the " Truth " .
The dissident questioning upon J Rutherford's personal behavior from certain people within the organization is probably what really got the DFing policy started.. The Judge ruled the organization with an iron fist, in spite of himself being an apathetic despicable individual in character.
When any organized cult such as Scientology JWS, and the list goes on institutes shunning between family essentially breaking that family apart, who have a crime against humanity plain and simple.
