Yes enforced shunning is a form of abuse. The interesting thing is the shunned are hurt just as badly as the shunners. When you force an otherwise loveing person to do something that's unloving you also injure yourself in the process. That's why we see many young ones walking away and those still in that are hard line stunners look unhappy. Those who do not shun seem happier with themselves I have noticed that. Thanks for comments I carefully read them all. Because I have learned one thing in life do not tell people how they should feel or think because they have free will. That even includes you bethel lurkers.
