 Excommunication is one of those touchy subjects in religion, especially with what is often referred to as the orthodox or official religion. Excommunication has been practiced throughout history as both a method of keeping the religion pure as well as an applied punishment for non adherence to the religious rituals and tenets of the group or culture.
 Many of the laws we now follow have been derived from a religious background and there are many similarities between the various popular religions as to what constitutes a break in religious tenets and tort law. Broadly speaking one could say, in fact, that imprisonment is a form of excommunication imposed by society for established guilt of breaking the law.
+= law =
 However there is a difference between religious law and common or legislative law. The part that we will examine as relates to scientology is the aspect of excommunication or shunning. In scientological parlance it is widely known as the "Declare".
 But first lets look at excommunication as it is practiced by some other current religions and some of the ramifications inherent in the excommunication process.
+= shunning =
 The catholic and scientology churches are not the only ones to practice excommunication, or more popularly shunning, we will use the word shunning from now on, to keep it simple. This is practiced in Jewish law, Amish, Bible Tract, Christian, Muslim, Jehovah's Witness, Baha'i Faith, Catholic as well as many others.
@@ Line 32: / Line 30: @@
 Active shunning, on the other hand, may include actively going out of ones way to punish the person. This is extra and over and above the act of excommunication. It may even extend outside the boundaries of community and legislative law. The declare and 'fair game' process as practiced by the official Church of Scientology may come into this category.
+= u.s. law =
 Per the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal in the US:
@@ Line 50: / Line 48: @@
 There are three issues here. The first is the applicability of the Tort to inflict intentional harm, such as emotional distress and or damages. The second is the applicability of the first amendment protection to provide positive immunity to religious groups that engage in contact not conflicting with tort law doctrines. The third is the first amendment and defense of the individual undergoing shunning either active or passive and the question of emotional, physical or financial distress caused by the act of excommunication.
+= examples =
 For example. A person who has worked in the Sea Organization since childhood and has been brought up in that environment. Knows only the practices and training inherent within that society. Is then, for whatever reason, is thrust out of that environment into one that is almost completely alien to them in which they have no experience or training. Is this passive or active excommunication taking into account the emotional and not to mention financial distress and lack of ability to fit in with the society in which they have immediately been thrust.
@@ Line 58: / Line 56: @@
 To what degree a person is considered a member of a religious organization is in question however. One HAS to be a member in order for a particular religious discipline to be applicable but if the person is then NOT a member of the religious organization then such disciplines are not actionable on the individual.
+= csi =
 This is dangerous ground for the CSI. Declaring and actively being involved in activities likely to cause distress of any kind could then be pointed as discriminatory and harassment of a person not a member of the organization at best and possibly even criminal by law at worst.
@@ Line 88: / Line 86: @@
 By way of example, here Former Scientology Members one can find a list of people, almost all who were close associates of the founder of scientology and who participated to a extent in building up the church in its hey day, who have been declared for one reason or another.
+= suppressive? =
 It is very difficult to believe that all of those people, many of them close associates for many years, were suppressive and yet at the same time were honored by Ron Hubbard and were responsible for much of the support Hubbard got in building up the organization in the early days.

 As a last comment. The Buddhist philosophy has had no policy of shunning and does not exclude anyone. It has also been expanding non stop since it's inception.
