Here is a credible report that at one convention in the U.S., around 600 or so convention-goers left immediately after that talk, and did not return for the afternoon. It would seem that not all agree...

I seem to recall a "tightening up" on the issue of shunning around 1976 or so (around the time Raymond Franz was DFed). Was there a "loosening" in between then and now?

Well, I guess my mom either wasn't paying attention or missed that part. Or the speaker chose to emphasize different elements of the outline. Whatever the case, she still treats me the same. Granted,...

Hi Joe~Yes, there was a definite relaxation of the shunning rules, at least where we were. Alot of families were "half in/half out" with alot of faded or DA'd relatives. No one harrassed you too much...

I think its crazy that somebody would ever say "thanks for shunning me." And what loyalty to God is there if you only come back for your family? It seems to miss the point doesn't it? I think this...
