SHUNNING in the 2x2 Church: When being cut off seems normal #cult #twobytwo #exjw #FLDS #PBCC #amish (youtube.com)

In this DUET video, two former members of the 2x2 church talk about the expectation of being shunned as a pressure tactic to join or stay in their church. LINK to interview: https://youtu.be/UW95OSPyzj8?si=bivdZADT-l1n0Fu6 There are healthy faith groups. If a group threatens people with shunning if they doubt or leave, that is a dangerous, coercive group. It's a big red flag. But those who are born into high-control religions grow up thinking that conditional love is normal. They are pressured to stay in a group they would otherwise leave, or they lose their entire family and social network when they try to exercise their personal right to chose their own path and their own beliefs. Please help us gather data to prove that this is a damaging human rights abuse!

WHAT IS MANDATED SHUNNING? Mandated shunning occurs when an organization forces its members to ignore and isolate former members due to ideological or theological differences. Mandated shunning even prohibits simple social gestures, such as saying "hello" or sharing a meal. This practice is commonly used by high-control groups to deter members from leaving the group or challenging its practices. Some groups who practice mandated shunning are Jehovah’s Witnesses, Ultra-Orthodox Jews, Exclusive Brethren, Amish, Bahá'í Faith, Geelong Revival Centre, Muslims, and Scientologists. Membership in just these eight organizations numbers in the tens of millions worldwide. Mandated shunning is a form of spiritual abuse and a fundamental violation of the principles found in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. However, it escapes prosecution because legal professionals are deceived into thinking that shunning is a personal decision instead of an enforced organizational practice. #humanrights, #coercivecontrol, #cult, #cultsurvivor, #stopmandatedshunning, #shunning, #ostracism, #highcontrolgroup, #religioustrauma, #indoctrination, #jw, #exjw, #jehovahswitnesses, #exmuslim, #islam, #scientology, #examish, #exmennonite, #unificationchurch, #moonies, #exclusivebrethren, #exmormon, #haredijews, #exjew, #twobytwos, #deconstruction, #GeelongRevivalCentre, #exbahai, #CalvaryTemple, #exvangelical, #exchristian, #atheist, #religion, #LLDM #parentalalienation #predatoryalienation
