Back to the thread (avoiding navco79's idiotic points entirely):Not all JW parents shun their children.
I certainly know that mine didn't when my sister was DF'ed a few years ago.
She got reinstated, and is now looking likely to be out again, with a similar result as before.Not all will react the same way.
My bro. shunned her - I could not (and will not).Just to address Julie's point about unconditional love:
The bible does teach the doctrine of "grace" (regardless of the comments of Wt. on 1Cor.10:12, etc.).
The illustration of the "prodigal son" (or more importantly his father) is a point in case.Just my 2p (from a recently woken, but currently still active dub).
