Long time former member
I was a baptized member from birth to 32 years old. They practice and teach shunning and that it is really some how showing love. Extremely judgemental down to if your socks match your suit and if you miss one meeting as they call their services which are 2 days a week. If you don't meet the required hours(the hours each member thinks other members should be doing) knocking on doors and preaching they judge and look down on you. Yes they keep track of the hours you spend in preaching or you are harassed by an elder. They will convince you to refuse medical treatment on your own to remain faithful to god and also let your own children die if they require certain medical treatment. Their rules and standards will and have changed back and forth over the years claiming "new light from god" when it's the old information from years ago. Elders will disclose to the congregations names of individuals admitting to engaging in child molestation but will not report them to police and blame the victims. When women are questioned about premarital sex they sit in a room with 3 elders and are questioned heavily and in great detail about the experience. Men are questioned on whether it happened or not and that is as far as it goes. Women are treated as second to men. They have rewritten the bible to fit their own beliefs. This is a cult to the exact definition.
