What does that have to do with anything?

There is so much cumulative evidence against this that it's just not funny.

Sorry, but not only do I have my anecdote (which by itself would not ve enough evidence) but teh testimonies of many, many who were disfellowshiped.
You have admitted that the disfellowshipping goes on. What you don't supply is an adequate reason for families to stop talking to people.

It's a conspiracy!
Somehow there are tons of ex-Mormons reading from the same script. It is almost as if it really happened.
Yeah, biased sources. I’m certain the majority wouldn’t even own up to their actions that led to their disfellowshipping.
We adhere to following Bible guideline (1 Corinthians 13). It serves a two-fold purpose: it keeps Jesus’ Congregation clean of wrongdoing, and it serves to make the erring one think seriously about fixing their relationship with Jehovah (and Jesus). — Isaiah 1 13,18,19

Your sources appear to be far more biased. Thin about ti. What do secular sources say?

In your mind, everyone who is a victim and complains is a biased source.
Why don't you listen to them for yourself? They can be seen on the series Scientology the Aftermath seasson 3, in the 2 hour special on Jehovahs witnesses.
The results I’ve noticed (over 40 years), have strengthened our Organization & our members. They appreciate the clean environment, and wholesome association. And we’re pleasing Jehovah God & Jesus. At Matthew 7:23, why would Jesus tell some, “Get away from me, you workers of iniquity”?
So how fickle secular sources interpret it, has no import to me; but since you asked:

3 Positive Consequences of Shunning
I will ask once again: HAVE YOU spoken with her family?
if not, then your view is not objective.
She chose her course, by her attitude … but she’s a victim? Nope.

If you do not like honest sources how on Earth do you expect anyone to like the dishonest JW sources?

Loving God and my neighbor as myself.
Nonsense. She knows what was said to her, and how she was shunned by her family. If you think the testimony of a victim can't be trusted, I don't know what to say.
You admit that shunning is done. What reasons do YOU think make shunning okay? Because I can't really think of ANY, short of being a child molester or serial killer.

Jesus Christ believed the Adam and Eve couple to be historical figures. Adam is listed in the geneology of Jesus Christ and that geneology includes Abraham, King David and other historically verifiable people.
In my view, there is no reason not to believe the Genesis account is a true and accurate account of the beginning of mankinds history.
What do you think about it?
