This is exactly true. When I finally could'nt take the lying about being a JW just to please other people, I was totally harassed and stalked and threatened that they would disfellowship me even without me meeting with them, or I could write a letter. So I wrote the letter just so they'd leave me alone, and it was the worst thing I could have done! I live in an apartment complex full of JW's and they will not even look at me let alone speak to me. I realize these people are crazy, and don't follow the bible at all, because they are so judgemental, which the Bible talks about NOT being. I am very bitter about it, because my family has to hide when they talk to me, and kind of feel guilty talking to me anyways but still do, because I have a 5 month old baby. My father though will not talk to me at all, and the worst thing about it, is I am not even doing anything "wrong" by their standards. I just don't believe that they are Gods channel, and that alone makes me "bad". This is a very harmful cult and I feel like my family is being held hostage, and there is nothing I can do. Oh well, it's nice to get it off my chest. Thanks.

JW children - conditionally loved?
by Gregor inwhen they reach a certain age they are expected to "sign up" (get baptized).
in many cases if they choose not to their parents essentially "disfellowship" them.
so a lot of children get baptized under pressure from the parents and when they fail to live the jw life and get df'd the folks are the harshest shunners.
