2 Cor. 6:14, 15, 17.
I'll just post some scriptures for you to pray to God about for understanding.

How does this bit of scripture justify psychological bullying?
Your line of questioning seems rather obsessive. Do you have any proof that would in any way support where you are going with this? G75 has already told you point blank that he does not shun others. You dismissed that answer, and kept pressing, and then stepped it up a notch by morphing your "shunning" accusation into "psychological bullying."
Without verifiable proof, it appears that all your queries amount to being pulled from thin air, projected upon someone, then you insisting he proof it false or admit it is true.
In likewise fashion, G75 (though being a Christian would not do so), could demand that you either justify yourself being a wife beater, or prove that you aren't one.
So again, where is your evidence that would imply that (a) G75 is a psychological BULLY, and (b) he thinks psychological bullying is justified.

Are you unaware of the JW organisation's use of concerted shunning to punish and ostracize dissenters?
If you don't see institutionalized shunning of family and former friends as "psychological bullying" then that is a matter for you.

If ones decide to shun us it is because of our beliefs not theirs. Again if we were to shun ones because of their religion, we would not go to their doors.
It is interesting how you feel persecuted by this sacrifice you have made for Jesus; clearly you find it unpleasant, and yet you still inflict this unpleasantness on other people of your own family and/or congregation. I find your stance on this to be chockingly hypocritical and sadly lacking in moral fortitude.
