At least the Mormons aren’t THAT bad. They will shun people (especially apostates) but I would not say they, for the most part, treat them like poison.

Yes, as you know, the social rejection is a BIG factor in keeping the followers in line. JW is a very strong armed cult when compared to mormonism.

I had a friend who grew up JW. She had sex with her boyfriend when she was 17 (one time), and confessed it. She was kicked out and shunned by her family completely. She tried for years to get back in and make amends with her family but no luck. She finally gave up.

We had no idea she was JW until we had a surprise birthday party for her. That was awkward.
