Shunning is awful and unloving. It's a cult, why else would you shun or not allow someone to question. It's simple and it's wrong. It destroys people and family's. It's blackmail. Keeps people in that don't want to be in because they'll lose everything they've ever known, family and friend if they leave. It's really disgusting and speaks for itself. It's hateful, fearful and not forgiving. If you believe in Jesus, can you imagine him doing that?
