  It seems that so many people only spiral further downward because of shunning.

  The practice hurts more than it helps, I believe. Love, understanding and encouragement would go much further in helping, for so many people.

  It must be a difficult thing to be in a position in a congregation where one (or a few) is asked to judge someone else, and decide that a person needs to be shunned. When even a trained doctor can sometimes struggle with accurately understanding the complexities of a persons situation.

  Witnesses are told not to serve on a jury, because we are in no position to judge others. But it seems that the Kingdom Hall is where some of the judgmental are.

  It has been a while since I have been at JWD and I saw your post CoCo. I remembered you always were positive and encouraging. I always appreciated your posts.

  Ever Hopeful: dedicated to FHN

  this, dear fhn, is for you because you remembered me:.

  the forlorn but hopeful lover peers into the rubble of death and decay and glimpses what one less inured to such travesty cannot.

  he sees form, even intricate structure of great complexity, and ultimately, a singular, transcending beauty.

  The Beautiful Soul

  polly lamented that she had spent too much time being beautiful.. it was not her fault that life's capricious art had fashioned her so very lovely.

  though her outward pulchritude was quite evenly matched by an inner beauty of unsurpassed purity, the young lady was nonetheless uneasy with her separateness from the ordinary folk.

  this is not to say that her female companions were inordinately jealous of polly's exquisiteness.

  Hello, CoCo

  Thank you for sharing your gift with words.

  I feel there are both men and women who posses a genuine loving quality for others.But it is not the norm though.

  Yes,I still pray.I am not sure if there is a God any more.But I want something more than just dying and going back into the ground.I feel if I pray,then I God may take pity on me and allow better things for me than just dying and not being conscious of anything anymore.
