  Wow. Brutal. I can't imagine shunning any of my kids or my wife even for a day, let alone a year. But I suppose, within the mindset of the Witnesses, it makes logical sense, i.e. if you REALLY love them you will do all you can to get them back. But do people really go through that kind of brutality to come back? I would think it must be rather rare.

  I hope its ok to post here. I am an exmormon(42 years in the cult) and I ran across your discussion here on the similarities between exmormon issues and ex-Jehovah Witness issues. I in no way want to offend I'm just curious. Do most ex-Witnesses become atheist just like most exmos? That's where my wife and I are.

  Also, it seems to me that the Witnesses are much meaner than the mormons when someone leaves the Witnesses. We have our own kind of shunning but it seems to me that the Witnesses are required to shun anyone who leaves whereas the Mormons settle for a kind of condescending-arrogant holier-than-though kind of approach. Are you actually required to shun loved ones who leave? I find that astonishing and it would seem nearly impossible for someone who loves their wife, husband, son or daughter to follow through with it. Am I looking at this wrong?
