Shunning: The Weapon of Silence

Jehovah’s Witnesses call it “loving discipline.” But forthose who’ve lived it, shunning is anything but love. In this episode of Apostate: JW, we take a deep dive into one of the most painful practices in the organization — the weaponization of silence. From the Governing Body’sjustifications to the lived reality of families torn apart, to the 2024 “new light” changes, we unpack how shunning works, why it persists, and the devastating impact it leaves behind. Whether you’ve experienced it firsthand or are seeking to understand, this conversation brings clarity, truth, and hope.
