As perguntas frequentes do jw.org sobre o assunto já foram retituladas pelo menos duas vezes: uma versão de 2022 era 'Do Jehovah's Witnesses Shun Those Who Used to Belong to Their Religion?' (citada pelo Supremo Tribunal da Noruega), a versão atual é 'How Do Jehovah's Witnesses Treat Those Who Used to Belong to Their Religion?', e o endereço /faq/shunning/ agora redireciona; um título anterior, 'Do You Shun Former Members of Your Religion?', é relatado por fontes de ex-membros, mas não pôde ser verificado porque os serviços de arquivo estavam inacessíveis.

“So we do not socialize with someone who has been removed. However, we do not ignore him completely. We treat him with respect. He is welcome to attend our religious services, where he may be greeted by Jehovah’s Witnesses. He may also request spiritual assistance from the elders.”
Current official statement. Also: 'we reach out' to those who 'slowed down or stopped'; 'The elders simply announce to the congregation that the person is no longer one of Jehovah’s Witnesses'; spouse and young children in the same house keep 'normal family affections and dealings'; footnote b on terminology; footnote d applies 2 John 9-11 to those who 'actively try to undermine' the congregation. Says nothing about relatives outside the household. Quotes the High Court of England and Wales (7 June 2019) and former ECtHR judge Pinto de Albuquerque.

“Members of the religious community are thus not to associate with former members, whether disfellowshipped or withdrawn. This also applies to close relatives, unless they belong to the same household. Family ties are not severed, but with regard to family members other than those with whom one lives, contact is permitted only in necessary family matters. It is undisputed that the threshold for such contact is relatively high.”
3-2 majority (Steen, Arntzen, Hellerslia; Poulsen and Falkanger dissenting) dismissed the State's appeal and declared the refusals of registration and grants invalid; unanimous that infringement of children's rights was not proved; majority: practice 'may entail a clear psychological pressure not to withdraw' (para 123) but not 'improper pressure' under Art. 9 ECHR; dissent: right to withdraw infringed.
