stoning...

stoning is a process by which a person is tortured by having rocks thrown at them over and over and over until their bodies are battered and bruised and torn and weakened and eventually they die...

it is not the pain of a single stone that kills a person...it is the continual, non-ceasing pelting of stone after stone after stone that eventually wears down all resistance until a body gives in and shuts down...

it can be that way with words...words are stones that can kill a person's reputation...their spirit...their mind...

rumors and words can kill a person's reputation to the point that any good that they might have been remembered for is overshadowed by their fault....

vicious words can kill another person's spirit until the dreams within them die and they give up on becoming the person they were meant to be...

negative words and self-defeating thoughts can weaken the strength of a person's mind until they are lost in a sea of confusion and mental sickness...

are you stoning someone with your words?

"let he who is withOUT sin cast the first stone..."
