Whistleblower called a liar for saying the same thing?
SHUNNING: Jehovah's Witnesses live under a strict regimen. They may be
"disfellowshipped" for a variety of reasons, such as attending a Catholic or
Protestant church or receiving a blood transfusion. Disfellowshipped is
equal to the Catholics archaic and just as silly version of excommunicating.
A disfellowshipped Witness may attend Kingdom Hall, but he is not allowed to
speak to anyone, and no one may speak to him. The others are to act as
though he no longer exists. This applies even to his family, who may only
communicate with him as much as absolutely necessary. On the outside this
may seem like a good thing, and in the long run it maybe as the JW may
finally leave the cult and get deprogrammed. In the short term though you
have to remember that these people are brainwashed so they go through
excruciating mental agony and some have committed suicide. Many families
and marriages have been destroyed, older children kicked out of the family
and have never seen or spoken to their JW families again, this in my opinion
is nothing short of mental torture.
