“Not bologna at all Paragon. It happens in real life all the time. I am an example of the shunning that takes place when you leave Mormonism. I stand outside and apart from my family of birth.

I can even find a couple of articles here on FreeRepublic where I was publicly demeaned simply for leaving the religion.”

Hardly does that make it “often”, the norm or even frequent. It would actually be the sad exception. Not the rule.

You are making a fine Inman...

I'm adding my experience to the whole, that is how we determine how often things happen or do not happen. How would YOU know how often the shunning happens....HMMMM?

How would you know? Are you privy to the lives of ALL apostates?

Stories abound from many sources (not all apostates are here on FR) including the one I posted above. From my personal experience, experience of my friends and acquaintances, and stories posted online, in books, news articles, and on TV, it seems to happen more often than not.
