Personally, I remember just sitting there during a sheperding call I went with an elder while he just emotionally beat up on this sisters son about not making a definite step in the organization. I felt bad for him because he was a cool guy, but I just nodded and agreed with the elder. I wish I would've said something...

You cannot UNSAY a cruel word

it's amazing that people think when they are hurting or angry, that they can say anything they want.

and then the next day or week, they can say to you: oh i was just mad.

i was just venting.

New Castles

When angry sometimes people say things that they wouldn't say otherwise, and that includes parents. I think we all have to be careful to not offend anyone when we get mad, but also to be ready to forgive if its sincerely asked for.
