So glad there are others who like being shunned.
To clarify. None wants to be shunned by their friends and family. But when it happens we have to accept reality and cope. We go through the stages of sadness, depression, emptiness and at last anger. After a while we find we have survived and we build a new life for ourselves. After some years have passed, you ask yourself this;
Would I go back to the way I was?
Do I want to be with these heartless, indoctrinated people who haven't the slightest idea of how to think for themselves?
Could I spend my Sunday morning plaguing the locals with my evangelistic teachings, then sit in a kingdom hall and listen to all that drive?
Do I want people who think in an indoctrinated way to approve of me?
Am I still able to share a group identity, and if I am would, it be with this group.
If you can answer, no to just half these questions then you don't belong with them. The fact that they make a point of avoiding you, makes it so much easier to see with clarity what needs to be done to make your life right for you. You now have a clean slate to work with.
It is a clear and definite break from a life that did not suit you then and would be an impossibility now. In time you will like being shunned. You may even insist on it.
