Oompa, I was just wondering how you are doing the other day. How is your recovery from the accident coming along?
In my opinion, disfellowshipping and shunning are used to keep the congregation in fear of losing their families and friends. Just look around this forum. How many people do we have who post here who only go to keep up appearances so the dont lose their spouse or children? It always makes me wonder how many would actually stay in the religion is the practice of shunning was stopped.

As my father said .."It is like a time out for a naughty child"
And as I replied "I will let you know when I feel like taking that time out in one of those uncomfortable back row chairs."

If it was really love the hypocrites would call df'd people once in a while like they're supposed to. The truth is, they don't give a shit and never really did. They're only worried about saving their own arses from Gehenna.
