Not only did God continue to speak with the original apostate Satan,
God also allowed Satan to enter into the midst of the assembled angels, and then allowed him to speak before all.

He didn't even shun his OWN apostate people of Israel..
Comical how anyone can say shunning is taught in the Bible. Couldn't be easier to prove as a lie.
As previously mentioned and to answer the OP: Yes Satan and his demons are cast from heaven and in Tartarus so they have been shunned by Jehovah. Any talking to him before that would have been like an elder counselling someone before they get disfellowshipped.
There, did that sound convincing? Ooh I almost felt like a JDub all over again 😂😂
bump , for newbies to ponder .over.
"necessary family business"
what many elders hide behind protected by other elders but
don't let the rank and file do it
OKAY, I'M GOING TO PLAY DEVIL'S ADVOCATE HERE.
Assuming Yahweh is the Father and not the Son...which I believe is untrue.
Jehovah, thru shunning, is trying to 1) get the guilty to repent by being ostracized by family and loved ones, and 2) protect the flock from sin. Neither aspect is applicable to him, personally, as 1) Satan is incapable of repenting or being forgiven, and 2) God can't be tempted, neither can he fall.
These being the case, neither side can gain or lose.
