I would feel dignified by being shunned versus dealing with me as if I never belonged. How disrespectful that would feel, to be an outsider as if I never belonged, my membership meant nothing; everyone dealing with me without being shunned. How disgraceful that would feel to me. But being shunned means to me: I belonged, I was a member, I was a fellow. It is a outrage to them that I left. I would feel hurt but dignified.
Fisherman, if your parents rejected you, maybe because your gay, would you also feel hurt but dignified because they recognise you once belonged to them?
Outlaw, if you want me to respond to you, you should address what I say in my post. And we can have a dialogue. If you make fun of what I say, I will not respond to you and you can have fun posting your memes.
I would say personally say that the person chose to disassociate or formally remove themselves as a witness. I would indicate that Paul said not to even eat with a man that was once called your brother. I would also indicate that Jesus stopped his association with Judas when he excused him from the lord's evening meal before his betrayal of the Christ. I would also indicate that ultimately it is a choice that someone makes if they want to shun a person or not, in reality a person can find a legitimate excuse if they want to speak with someone who is either DA or DF. I would also indicate, that even though I am not associated with a congregation right now because of my sexuality, that in my decades of experience I have never known someone who was DF for speaking with someone who was DF or DA. I may be living in a fantasy world and that is probably my own experiences but that is what I have seen, including a number of DF and DA family members that my immediate family did speak with while I was growing up.
Okay Fisherman. As it is about da or df, would you be hurt but dignified if your parents or your children shunned you?
Listener, my post is about the JW shunning me.

Unless That's Beyond Your Capabilities..
I agree that they should have articulated the stand of Jehovah's Witnesses better and to be quite honest most anything would have been a better response than what was given. I think that they should have expected that as a question and had prepared it better or put it in their opening statement so that they could have pointed to the statement.
