    The people who shunned me in my earlier years are pretty much all dead now. However, back then, I sometimes was on the end of an approach from a JW so that he could explain to me why he wasn't going to speak to me anymore!

    The conversation would go something like this:

    He: Sorry but I can't talk to you anymore.

    Me: Why's that?

    He: Because you're disfellowshipped.

    Me: Why's that? What did I do that was so terrible that you have to pretend that I don't exist?

    He: Er..I don't know the details..the um..committee have um.. made that decision..

    Me: So you don't even know why you have to pretend that I don't exist. You're acting on the instructions of others. Are you really content with that? Really?

    Exit one confused dubbie.

    No, it is not bad at all. Because you can choose to remedy that. It is up to you to get reinstated and the shunning will stop.

    Sorry pal, but JW-type shunning has no basis in Scripture.

    How does one remedy the org's habit of lying about everything?

    The mental and emotional abusive nature of the religion is the worst imho. The shunning is a big part of that...but the repetitive indoctrination that keeps fear and anxiety high is just so awful...and ruining children's lives....and the unnecessary deaths due to the blood stance are unforgivable. It is a dangerous destructive vortex. Blessed are those who crawl out alive and able to heal.

    Disfellowshipping and shunning are very bad but I don't think they're the worst of JWdom.

    For me, it has to be the two-witness rule applied to child sex abuse.

    The blood doctrine is also very dangerous.
