It's pretty sick really to pedal this nonsense to children! Poor kids don't get any treats?

I'm a Non-JW looking to ask a few questions re dfing

someone close to me has been brought up as a jw since a very early age.

he's now looking to exit.

he was baptised as a teen and is now early 20s.

His cousin was df'd last year (apparently force himself on an underage girl but oddly the police were never involved) and i think that opened his eyes a little bit to the darker side of the religion, the shunning, lack of tolerance etc. The only thing that's been keeping him in is his Mum and siblings but he can't continue to do it for them. If he stopped going and then changed his mind, how long would it take for him to be accepted back in?

Let's hope they choose the fading route.

It's all so frustrating. I've used this forum before (as MissyM). the aforementioned is actually my stepson and he will be coming to live with us if he decides to leave. He'll be moving quite a distance from his Mum and Stepfather and half siblings but his sister (full sister) lives near to us with her husband and I cannot begin to imagine how it will work if she shuns him. Would she still come to our house, would she have anything to do with us and her half sister (my daughter)? Could she REALLY do that to her own brother? Are they that entrenched and brainwashed?

It's a lot to comprehend and my mind is ready to explode.

Someone close to me has been brought up as a JW since a very early age. He's now looking to exit. He was baptised as a teen and is now early 20s. His family have said that if he were to leave and then be seen to do ungodly things e.g. have a girlfriend (!?!?!?) then he would be disfellowshipped and they would no longer be able to speak to him.

I guess what I want to ask is that how would he get disfellowshipped? Who would tell the elders that he had a girlfriend? Would his family do that to him, knowing he would be df'd? I'm a bit lost with it all tbh!!!

Why can't they just let him leave and continue to be his family?
