I know others have posted on the original thread. Several people, including myself, would like to do something concrete to show our concerns re: his treatment by the JW, and how important he was to all of us here. I suggested a handwritten note, on behalf of the whole community here, flowers, and perhaps a donation to a charity that helps people get back on their feet. A leading psychiatric md once told me that psychiatry cannot alter crappy circumstances. Oompa had his share of crappy circumstances.
Rather than just post about it, would those particularly close to Oompa form a sort of committee and recommend an action to commemorate Oompa. Certainly, he was depressed. Does anyone here doubt that the WT made his burden too heavy for Oompa to bear. REading his posts now, I am very torn apart. HIs pain was so palpable.
His experience was so universal. Has anyone here not despaired when shunned? God does give us more than we can bear. People crumple under the weight every day.
I want to do something. Of course, where do we send the note or flowers? I would defer to people who know his situation well. Perhaps a note to his KH, removed of rancor, stating what a wonderful man he was, would be appropriate. I simply do not know.
