Coosa, some religions have what they call "shunning". It doesn't matter if the person being shunned is family. The followers can't talk to or about that person until the church says it is ok to do so! And one of the reasons there are so many churches today is someone got pissed off at someone else in the congregation so they broke away and started their own church.

Really, I never knew that. That is interesting to know. I always wondered why there are so many churches in such a small town.

Shunning is a practice in the Amish community. If you go against the elders or the "ordnung" then you can get shunned after you have been baptized. You aren't suppose to be baptized until you are 100% in following the faith.

It's sort of like that here, if you go against certain people you get shunned. Thanks for the history lesson bee!

It's a silly thing. Half the time I don't remember to "exhalt" anyone, & for that I do apologize. I try to give everyone who has a positive overtone, or a quirky sense of humor to their posts an exhalt.

Well Coosa you are doing exactly what they want,
YOU ARE STRESSING OVER THAT POINTS THING LIKE IT WAS A SET OF SCALES. You even started a topic on it. You are as bad as some of the previous posters who thought it was a bad thing when their karma went down but they kept using it anyway.
They know it aggravates you so they keep doing it.
GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
