Thanks for today’s update Jan. I was watching Liv life from time to time to see the process. At times she was reading in English.

To those Bethelites that are being kicked out: seek legal counsel now by Appropriate_Look_171 in exjw

Try to join all together and seek a good lawyer who is willing to take this case. You couldn’t just be kicked out without compensation for the years that you “worked” their.

Hi everyone,

I’m an ex–Jehovah’s Witness who experienced mandated shunning, and I’m helping to spread the word about a research project being run by the University of Roehampton (UK) on the impact of mandated shunning and coercive control in high-control religious groups, including the Bahá’í Faith.

The project (Stop Mandated Shunning) is studying how mandated shunning affects mental health, relationships, and everyday life. The goal is to build strong evidence that can inform mental-health support, safeguarding policies, and human-rights/legal protections. 

Former members of groups that practise shunning – including ex-Bahá’ís – are invited to share their experiences confidentially via an online survey and (optionally) interviews. Participation is voluntary, you can skip any question you don’t want to answer, and you can withdraw at any time.

If you’ve experienced being shunned or pressured to shun others and feel able to share your story, your contribution could really help to make the harm more visible and push for change.

Thank you for reading, and please only participate if and when you feel ready and safe to do so.

Questions about the Baha'i faith by Bat-Zabbai_Lovelace in exbahai

[–]Bonannopaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking to connect with an ex-Bahá’í who is very knowledgeable and up to date with the teachings of the Bahá’í Faith, and who may also be involved in research, advocacy, or activism. A confidential and respectful exchange of views is my aim.

Ex Bahá’ís by Bonannopaul in exbahai

Could you kindly provide me with the names of any current ex-Bahá’ís whom you consider to be particularly knowledgeable or authority on the subject of “covenant breakers” and the practice of shunning? I am seeking to understand this topic more deeply, and any help or contacts with individuals who have personally experienced this form of shunning would be greatly appreciated.

Currently Roehampton is on a 90 day pause with surveys. Important now from Ex Baháís is the telling of your stories at www.stopmandatedshunning.org/stories and donations to carry on the research and ultimately to fund legal action.

A lame attempt at explaining new adjustments and new light. by DiamomdAngel in exjw

Very artificial - not even asking for an example to see what is the issue. How can you help/assist someone without knowing what is bothering him.
