Hey, there is a very good article on Mormon shunning on the front page of the Saturday Los Angeles Times. I'm going to respond to this journalist and tell him about the dubs. I think maybe if many did this, a good story on dubs might come out - maybe even front page too.This article - same copy, same author - appeared on page 9A of the Baltimore Sun today.Go here: http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/la-000095596dec01.story
This article is also perfect for showing those witness relatives of ours who shun us. They will see how much similarity they have to mormons. And it is perfect because the mormons have the 12 apostles = the GB; they call people who leave "apostates;" they shun their own relatives; they don't let their kids play with non-mormons and they also go door-to-door.
Bluesapphire, do you or does anyone know if there is an ex-LDS grassroots movement driving the publication of such press? I'm wondering what is prompting major newspapers to promulgate this information.
And, like you, I'm wondering if ex-JW's can achieve similar results. You mentioned trying to get in touch with the author of the article. Could you bring it to our attention if you get any reply?
The piece is direct, and effective.
Happy sunday - edited to correct dorky tech errors
