REPUTATION and disfellowshipping.....stories
by problemaddict 2 ina friend of mine is getting disfellowshipped.
someone with a kind heart, and good rep. he knows how i feel, remains my firend, and we have respectful conversation.
without revealing too much, lets just say the reason he is being disfellowshipped is for family problems.

Looking for shunning video
by problemaddict 2 inso there is in now infamous "worst convention ever" video.
but there are 2 more i am looking for if possible.. 1) at a fairly recent service meeting, there was a "new" shunning video.
i remember it was from the mothers perspective, and in the end she is like "its been 5 years now......" .

Mass Mormon Resignation
by problemaddict 2 inhttp://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/11/16/456224955/more-than-1-000-mormons-resign-from-the-lds-church-in-protest.
if you consider what triggered this, the policy itself is benign compared to jw doctrine.
while mormons practice shunning, it isn't nearly as absolute as it is with jw.s.

"When you protect the institution over the individual, justice isn't possible"
by problemaddict 2 inso says kirsten gillibrad the senator from new york.
it was regarding rape at college campus, and how it tends to be handled "internally" and "with bias".. i watched this unfold on an episode of vice on hbo from this weekend.
the similarities were striking.
