  Once again, the ARC has brilliantly highlighted the reality that any witness who either fades or disassociates is subjected to active official shunning by the organization.

  The "brothers" tried to state that it was the CHOICE of the INDIVIUAL who steps AWAY from the organization to SHUN THEM! They actually tried to make it out to be the fault of the one who leaves!

  Then they tried to say that those who fade are NOT shunned!

  What absolute liars! We know the culture and conduct of the organization!

  Fuck 'em. They are nothing but lying manipulative sacks of cult indoctrination. It was disgusting to listen to them, much like the apologists we have here on the forum. Nothing but obfuscation and spin because they are all about appearance and don't care about substance.

  And what's worse, the two lying eunuchs of the GoBo said that when a person "disassociates" they've chosen to "shun" those remaining inside the 0rg. As if "disassociating" meant "wishing not to associate" with others.

  What a face-palm moment!

  It's very twisted logic. They (the Watchtower) are the ones with the shunning policy so it makes no sense to argue that those who leave are choosing to shun the congregation.
  

  Put the same logic in a different context. Suppose I held Mr Spinks and Mr O'Brien hostage and threatened to shoot them if they tried to escape. They would in no way be consenting to me shooting them if they tried to escape. And if I did shoot them, they would in no way be responsible for my actions just because they knew it was a consequence of their escape.

  It was very entertaining watching O'Brien and Spinks attempt to use this logic to the ARC. They were completely blind to how deeply unimpressive their rationalisations were and evidently not accustomed to their arguments being critically assessed.

  And what is sooooo sad about these two GoBo ass-kissers is that they believe their own lies so readily and defend them with such a straight face, well, not so straight--in Spinks case a sweat pouring hot pink round face, and in O'Brien's a deathly pale sucked dry of life and emotion face.

  What absolute liars! We know the culture and conduct of the organization!

  Its interesting how much lying deception is orchestrated by this organization in whole from its top leaders in the doctrines they create, right down to its indoctrinated people who've they been told to lie or tell half truths if the intent is to support the organization.
  

  Jehovah's Witnesses is an organization of lies and half truths and the top leaders of this organization have designed that way to uphold themselves to further continue with that power and control.

  Spinks and O`brien might try to pull the wool over the eyes of the ARC , but they are too smart to fall for that trap.

  The 2 JW`s were pathetic in their response to the ARC.

  And its great to know that this expose of the JW religion is going all around the world that should help other honest hearted ones to just walk away from this mind controlling religion and live their own life.

  And they never did answer the question put to them by Counsel:

  "Why do JWs shun those who disassociate?"

  Their rigid answers repeatedly focused on the individual who disassociates knowing the consequences - which is not answering the question, "Why do JWs shun those who disassociate?" Because the GB tells them to. There iis no Scriptural basis for it (in contrast to disfellowshipping in which they can cobble together specified Scriptures that support the concept of ceasing fellowship.
