Of course, as long as the decision is to shun.

If you choose to be a non shunner you risk becoming one of the shunned. Shun or be shunned is the theme.

Watchtower's reputation must be catching up with them so they're playing nice (publicly) about their evil.

On whether or not she chooses to shun?

That's right.

How many PoopTarded Threads are you going to start, about the same topic?..

Nothing has changed since your last thread on the same topic

Sure you can choose to or not but there will be repercussions for those who dont when associating with a Dfed person regularly.

Nothing has changed upon that rule of behavior.

Straight from the article:

It is up to each of us to make decisions, and the wise, right choices are based on sound Scriptural knowledge [emphasis added].

This quote means that even though we have to make our own decisions, those decisions should be based on the Bible. According to [the Governing Body's interpretation of] the Bible, we must shun those who are disfellowshipped or disassociated. Therefore, this is actually exactly like NewYork44M said:

Of course, as long as the decision is to shun.

You have the right to make your own decision as long as the decision is based on the Bible—namely, as long as you decide to shun. If you decide not to shun under the premise that we have to make our own decisions, and if you cite this article in support of your position when questioned by the elders, the elders will simply tell you that your decision is not the right choice because it is not based "on sound Scriptural knowledge." As the quote says, "right choices are based on sound Scriptural knowledge."

To summarise, this article is just doublespeak and evasion. Its purpose is to make it look to the public as if Jehovah's Witnesses could make their own decisions when in reality their decisions must be based on ~~the Bible~~ the Governing Body's interpretation of the Bible. Don't fall for it.
