Shunning is good for you!

Yes shunning is good for you!

I did not understand this before, but I know it now.

Sometimes when I'm feeling a little down-in-the-dumps, a little depressed, I go outside for a little fresh air and some shun-shine. I find it's really quite refreshing.

If I really need a jolt, I'll go to a place where I know the local JWs like to hang out and take a quick shun-bath.

There's nothing quite like being completely ignored by family members and/or former friends to let you know how special you are. When their beaming rays of shun-light shine on me I really how truly wonderful and worthy of love I am. Oh, what a feeling!

The other day I was feeling really down. I was depressed that I haven't talked to my kids in ..., well it seems like forever.

I was wallowing in a pool of self-pity, drowning in a sea of sadness with nothing but ominous, dark clouds raining down misery and despair. I guess I was feeling sorry for myself, I admit it.

I was going crazy! I had to do something, anything. So I decided to take a walk.

Lost in thought I wandered aimlessly, completely unaware of the passsage of time, self-indulgently feeling sorry for myself. Pretty pathetic, huh?

But then I suddenly began to feel better. I was confused! What happened? Why did I feel better? At first I had no clue, but I could feel the dark clouds parting and feel a warmth coming over me. I looked around trying to determine the source of this drastic change in my emotions and there it was: across the street were two of my former, closest friends! Oh how I loved them, and oh how they (used to) love me!

As I saw them my heart quickened. When they saw me they immediately turned away and that's when it happened: I was overcome with joy as I felt their shun warming me with their genuine Christian love. - John 13:34-35

I walked, no I fairly skipped, back home knowing that I was loved. Yes, it was a shunny-day!

And now I'm shinging ....

GOOD DAY SHUN-SHINE!

Shure glad you have a good attitude about shunning, OODAD!

Trying to extort someone back into belief (as if that were possible) -- it's a clever policy, WTS.

But it has nothing to do with love.

When a JW encounters a DF'd person in a public place they quickly put on their shun-glasses to avoid eye contact.

Did you know that when Sean Connery tells his dog to sit he says....

Glander

...So you will please say hello,

To the folks that I know,

Tell them I won't be long,

They'll be happy to know

that as you saw me go

I was singing this song.

We will meet again,

Don't know where, dont know when.

But I know we'll meet again, some shunny day...!"

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Shun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Shun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Shun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

Oh go shun yourself!!

Glander

I suggest SP-45+ to prevent shun burn..

Shunning is good for you!
