This "Worldly Person" LOL realy did not understand disfellowshipping and shunning. Never exposed to it before. But got that email "good bye, have a nice life". The Elder had been in my life for five years and gone that fast, I sure did not understand this thing. My girlfriend called him the "Devil", my daughter called him " flaming idiot jerk"
It was not till I found this forum did I understand how this man turn from being the sweetest, kindest, caring, loving human being I had ever met into the Devil instantly.
YES, Smiddy and all of you, JOB WELL DONE!!!
