I suggest keeping the non-JW family members fully informed of the shunning. Not in a complaining way, but just matter of fact. It will make its way around the family, and surely, some of the JWs will realize how ridiculous it is - won't they?
Sorry, I know that's not humour.

I've found the best way to deal with relatives who are shunning me is from a reasonable distance. 100 miles seems to be about right.
Sarcasm is reserved for friends and the friendly.
Believing Witnesses see me as a ridiculer, an opposer, and that's what I am. I actually don't ridicule, I just write Watch Tower policies and practices and they look ridiculous without any help from me.
Good idea, but I guess there aren't many funny things about belonging to a cult that demands shunning of family members.
I too have wondered what type of messages my "worldly" relatives could pass along to my jw mom, but to my mom and most other jws, there is nothing they want to hear from df'd ones unless it is that the shunned one wants to return to the cult.
