A Question About Shunning
by Adumbra inmuch has been said on what it is like to be shunned but i would like to hear from the other side of the practice: what is it like to shun?.
just to give you my perspective: i was raised a jw, but was never baptized and in fact i was only a real zealout for about 2 years of my life.
for this reason when a friend of mine was disciplined for marijuanna possession it never even occured to me that i should shun him (i visited him the day after it was announced at the meeting to cheer him up).

Missing family dearly
by Freeof1914 inhey people it's been a tough couple of weeks for me, my wife and i have seperated i expected this, but it has been much more difficult than expected.
my family has gotten a million times more distant because of my inactive status and questioning ofthe org.
i do have wordy friends but still feel pretty bad being alone i have even contemplated returning to meetings for the sole purpose of not losing y family and life, but i cannot fathom the thought of bowing down to their rules and sacrificing my own integrity.
