Can’t help feeling like “disfellowshipped” strikes a different tone than the words it replaced (shunned, excommunicated, defrocked, exiled, etc).
It’s as if someone invented a word that means, specifically, “you are no longer welcome to partake in the fake friendship I share with others, and I will no longer pretend to care about you” to which the only appropriate response is… gratitude?
