I never understood why JW's did the whole shunning thing. It doesn't solve anything, it just makes people more psycho. If someone gets DF'd to me they obviously need love, friendship and compassion not shunning. Sounds like the opposite what 'brotherly love' is.

Some very interesting comments.
One in particular:
Removing members from the congregation of God is based on Scripture. Even in the days of Moses, unrepentant sinners, who believed in Jehovah, were cast out. You may not approve, but God makes the rules, not men. He does so for our benefit. Removal from the congregation is nothing more than a disciplinary action. There is nothing oppressive or evil about it.
