Stop Mandated Shunning

The Stop Mandated Shunning project was created to expose cults & high-control religions that use enforced, organized ostracism to divide families and prevent members from leaving, or punish them if break the rules. Some groups include Amish & Mennonites, Jehovah's Witnesses, some forms of Islam, Haredi Jews, Exclusive Brethren, Baha'i Faith, Scientology, FLDS (Mormon), Geelong Revival Centre, Calvary Temple, La Luz del Mundo, The Unification Church ("Moonies"), Two by Twos (2x2), and other authoritarian groups.

Please help us end mandated shunning, religious trauma, & child indoctrination.

Stop Mandated Shunning
Wayne Rogers was disfellowshipped (expelled) from his Jehovah's Witness community in 1999 for questioning the "NO BLOOD" policy. He believed this serious medical decision should be left to each individual to decide for themselves. The result was the sudden loss of everyone he knew and loved. This is his story of heartbreak, freedom and survival.

This ground-breaking research is the first to focus on faith-based, mandated shunning as practiced by multiple faith groups. This research will take an estimated 3 years and $300K to complete.

Results from both the quantitative (survey) & qualitative (interviews) portions of the study will be analyzed, published, and peer-reviewed for use by survivors, lawmakers, judges, therapists/psychologists, human rights activists, & government officials around the world.

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.

Disfellowshipped & Shunned for Questioning "NO BLOOD" Policy: Ex Jehovah's Witness tells all
Rick Doblin speaks on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast about the intense fear of ostracism, and how it is used by high-control, fundamentalist religions to entrap members and prevent them from leaving when they would otherwise choose to do so. 

This is a human rights abuse that's hiding in plain sight. Leveraging fear of being kicked out of one's tribe is not just a coercive tactic – it's psychological violence. Help us gather the data to prove it!

In March and September of 2026, the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses made major changes to their "NO BLOOD" policy for members. 

AJWRB website: 

Since 1997, the AJWRB website has provided information and support to Jehovah's Witnesses and medical professionals in order to save lives and support informed consent. They now have an excellent, simple graphic that explains the new changes. 

Please download and share it! –
https://www.ajwrb.org/watchtowers-approved-blood-transfusions

They have also collected personal stories of those whose lives were forever changed due to the official rules against blood and blood-based products in medicine.

Many of those stories involve shunning as the enforcement mechanism for following the rules without questioning.

This video gives examples of people who were shunned or died due to the "NO BLOOD" policy, and also explains the estimate of the number of Jehovah's Witnesses who have lost their lives due to the policy:  33,000 to 46,000. And that is an extremely conservative estimate of the number of deaths between 1961 and 2016. Please help us end the "Gateway Crime" of mandated shunning!

September is Suicide Awareness Month. Research has already shown that religiously mandated shunning is devastating to mental health. Many former members have spoken out about suicidal ideation and the risk of suicide among the shunned. Any link is currently anecdotal. Please consider supporting research that is now being conducted at Roehampton University, and help the researchers add to the evidence base.

💔 Suicide Awareness Month: Not everyone survives shunning! #exjw #amish #cult #exjew
In 1633, Galileo was tried by the Catholic Inquisition. He was forced to make a public retraction of his beliefs, was found guilty of "vehement suspicion of heresy", and spent the rest of his life under house arrest. His book was banned and he was forbidden to speak about his heliocentric beliefs. 

After 350 years – in 1992 – the Catholic Church made an official retraction of their condemnation of Galileo.

Heresy, blasphemy and apostasy laws have a long and bloody history. In our modern day, there are still at least 12 countries where heresy is punishable by death. But in countries where religion doesn't have that much power, those who doubt, question, or get excommunicated are  often shunned. Mandated shunning is a social death sentence that can last a lifetime. It is used to silence and control current and former members. Let's put an end to this human-rights abuse and stop the persecution of apostates!

Religious Shunning: New "Psychology Today" article tells the world it's a real problem! #cult #exjw
Authoritarian groups control all your relationships. They mandate whom you must shun, and also whom you must forgive – even if they are toxic or dangerous.

Monica tells some personal stories from her experience as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. In one case, a victim had to forgive her abuser. In another, a man who'd been an accomplice to murder was allowed to get baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses – without confessing his crime to proper authorities.

Jehovah's Witnesses are proud of their prison ministry. Many inmates join the church. All members of JW congregations are expected to forgive, accept, and love other members in good standing – regardless of their criminal history.

Tony left the group "The Alliance of the Holy Family International" (AHFI), which he now describes as a cult, due to the coercion he experienced. He explains how forgiveness was enforced & harmful because it prevented members from setting personal boundaries and healing.

Tony's YouTube Video (Duet):
https://youtube.com/shorts/CyVYPwag3g8?si=jGr-vTQIZIioltJz

Authoritarian groups control all relationships. So in addition to dictating whom you must shun and avoid, they dictate whom you must forgive and accept in your life. The end result is the same – loss of personal autonomy and an abuse of basic human rights!

PROPUBLICA Article:
https://www.propublica.org/article/faith-healing-idaho-deaths-followers-of-christ

An August 25, 2026 article in PROPUBLICA exposes childhood deaths due to religious sects like “Followers of Christ” that believe in faith healing. Most parents are legally required to provide adequate medical care to their children — and they can face criminal charges if they are negligent. However, Idaho state law makes an exception for parents belonging to faith-based groups.

How do these groups get parents to let their own children die rather than receive life-saving medical care? Mandated shunning! Those who show a lack of "faith" by accepting medical treatment, rather than simply praying for a miracle, are ostracized!

Organized ostracism is the "Gateway Crime" that leads to many other abuses. It is the principle tactic used by coercive, high-control groups to enforce conformity. And in this case, the consequence is often death of children!

Mandated shunning threatens to break up countless marriages. In high-control group (a.k.a cults) such as the Two by Twos (The Church With No Name), members who doubt or leave often face the breakup of their marriage. 

In this DUET video, former member of the 2x2 church, Jasmine, talks about the fear that her marriage would end because she left the church.
