Very manipulative. I really am disturbed by the way he talks about JWs being DF'd for apostasy and other brothers and sisters feel for them. Sinutko then goes on to say, "well you don't know all the facts". This is the big problem with shunning, no one ever knows the full facts it's all covered up.
This is why the internet is so therapeutic, people can tell their story, we can get the full picture and the more we do the more we realise others have the same story as us. In this way we get all the facts.
