Coffee with Friends: Stop Mandated Shunning Research

Join us for a discussion about the Stop Mandated Shunning project. Our guests today are Monica Velin Rodriguez.

Monica is a former Jehovah's Witness who stopped believing at age 40 and lost 75 family members and hundreds of friends upon exiting. Now, an activist against mandated shunning as a method of coercive control in faith-based groups. https://www.facebook.com/share/1R4nYd...

Currently, there is a research study being conducted. If you wish to participate in the research study, the survey is available here: https://stopmandatedshunning.org/survey https://www.tiktok.com/@smshunning?_t...
