'A Jehovah’s Witness who spoke out against a practice which leaves people isolated has now fallen foul of the Hull Elders. '
'She said: “I am a stronger Christian than ever I was as a Jehovah’s Witness. '
'Adrienne Van Den Tooren, of west Hull, had expected to be thrown out of the organisation after speaking out over the practice of being ‘disfellowshipped’ and ‘shunned’. '
'It has been a slow process realising what I now know.”She is now labelled an apostate – someone his has denounced their Christian faith – but Mrs Van Den Tooren strongly rejects this. '
'In such cases, it is necessary to expel the unrepentant wrongdoer from the congregation, thus denying him fellowship with Jehovah’s clean people. '
