So I have been told that a bro I know that is df is being greeted even after the convention on shunning he finds it refreshing that witnesses can use their own conscience seeing that shunning is not a law but a principle that only a principle that applies only to antichrist some still do not believe in shunning even after that talk I happened to be at a regional on sat gb member went off subject and started to expalne why a parent must shun the child nobody clapped .
Not shunning even after the regional

Great to hear, what part of the world are you in? I know where I'm at the people would probably give him a standing ovation. I think the Latin crowd is less likely to shun.

Good to hear more and more people aren't letting the bumbling body have power over them. These guys are clowns and for anyone to shun their own child is mentally damaged.

you guys know that poopie is a little off his rocker. You definitely shouldn't believe anything he says.

Barrold, try smiling sometimes.
Poopie, that's great. Having talked to a few JWs about shunning, I hear also that they are not as rigid on the policy as they once were. These JWs are under the impression that the GB has loosened up over the past few years, they haven't though and it may just wake up a few more when they see the GB sticking their heels in. -

+1 for Barrold's comment.

My mom's shunning levels depend on how much she is drinking. At this point, I'm done trying. She says the most hateful things and I'm supposed to just accept it, but I point out anything true, and "I" am hateful. I am her enemy. Then she denies what she said. I don't even want to bother with civility any more because truly, she just jumped the shark on my last visit to her home-which was my LAST visit to her home.
