I too have had to deal with the pyschological torment of shunning from friends and family. I sought professional consol to deal with the issue. I cannot put any judgement on a few religious groups, as the people that shunned me were Christians. I needed to study the act of shunning itself objectively. That we as humans are social creatures and long to be accepted and with eachother in groups, such as families, friends, churches, ect. When we do something that someone does not approve of…reguardless of what it involves, a family issues, something our friends dont approve of , change our spiritual belief…they may not approve and ‘if’ they choose to not accept our change and insist on controlling our thoughts and actions…they will then choose to engage in the act of “shunning” us. It is simply a form of control. Little girls do it on the playground…watch them. “If you dont do it this way…then were not going to play with you..and the little group stomps off and leaves a single girl on her own…being shunned. She quickly changes her mind. Control. It’s devastating…I know. It baffles me, even as I write this, as to why for some people, they would rather end a relaionship and harden their heart…than to accept that people change and to accept those changes and love them anyways. God must weep at the sight of it all…he kept saying that love was the greatest of all things and we cant even get that right.

As to the comment that it is an organization based on voluntary membership, if you don’t like it leave approach, the difference with the Witnesses is that if YOU choose to leave, they formally provide closure, and DISASSOCIATION (voluntary leaving) is prompted. DISASSOCIATION and SHUNNING are treated exactly the same way. So, really you can’t just leave if you don’t “like” it. Or at least, you can’t just leave freely, emotionally or spiritually intact from the experience. I know. I did. I paid for it greatly.

Sam struggled weakly. I would be easy, he asked. The oily secretions that.
