There is one person in my life that I know of that won't speak to me to this day. I don't live near her any longer, so I never run into her, but when I wasn't doing what she thought I should be doing in church (standards related), she wrote me off as not worthy of friendship. It hurt me, because I love this woman and we were close friends. I think of her often, and wish we could connect once again. I miss her more than she realizes.
I'm thankful, however, that she's the only one out of everyone I know. I hope that if I shunned anyone in my life that God would slap the snot out of me but good.

So sad HO. The church I left practiced Shunning. Anyone that left with or witout pastoral approval..(I can't hardly remember him approving of anybody leaving). they were not be fellowshipped with in any way.
