  What does your congregation do socially now?

  if you're still in or hear about jw social activities through the grapevine, what does your congregation do now socially?.

  my hall does absolutely - nothing - with the exception of high school graduations.

  i read a few posts about jw socialising in the 70s and 80s and honestly, reading about it is completely foreign to me - i grew up in the 80s and never experienced the "good times" of jwdom.. it seems most people do their own thing.

  When Disfellowshipping extends outside the KH; shunning that never ends

  i was talking about this the other day to a friend that is an attorney for abused children and we started discussing strange family practices and how they affect children.

  it was during that conversation that i remembered something i hadn't thought about in years - when i was 12 years old my step-father and mother tried to practice a form of shunning (disfellowshipping) in the family.

  of course it wasn't my mother's idea, it was my neurotic mentally deranged stepfather that decided because my mother and i had disagreed about something in a silly judicial meeting, that i was to be shunned from the family.
