Shunned from society, widows flock to city to die

by Grammy in

and i thought the jw's treated their elderly badly.. this is the most horrendous thing i have ever heard off, it's truly disgusting!.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/world/asiapcf/07/05/damon.india.widows/index.html?eref=rss_topstories.

.

there's a great movie on the subject of widows in india called 'water' directed by deepa mehta. although it's set in the '30s it still reflects the way widows are treated today. despite laws against things like that tradition still holds fast sadly.

clearly, it must be possible to bring reason, spirituality, and ethics together in our thinking about the world.

it would also be the end of faith.-.
