Disillusioned JW
A moment ago I learned it is a easier to leave the LDS (Mormon) church than the WT/JW religion. Note that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex-Mormon says the following.
"Outright apostasy of members will lead to a church disciplinary council, which may result in disfellowshipment or excommunication.[43] However, members who ask for their names to be removed from church records or who have joined another church are not subject to a disciplinary council.[43]
... According to a BYU Studies article, as of 2014, about one-third of those with a Latter-day Saint background have left the Church. Of those who leave the Church, about 58% switch to no religion or unaffiliated ...."
I get the impression that the LDS church does not instruct its members to shun ex-members, but that some members choose to shun ex-members.
