There was a small mom & pop corner store owned by a witness couple in my town. A large part of their business was selling tobacco products as did all small corner stores to survive.
They were given the ultimatum to quit selling tobacco or be DF'ed. They felt they could not quit as they were older and this was all they knew how to do to make a living. They were both DF'ed.
The local newspaper got hold of the story and ran it with a very sympathetic viewpoint to the couple and highly critical of the bOrg.The bOrg did far more harm than good for themselves by their jack booted approach to this couple.
The couple kept a copy of the newspaper article taped to the inside of their front door for a few years after that.I am sure it kept all the dub's from calling and served as a further witness? to all the community.
