We had what some would consider "bad behavior" in MfW this week, and I've been sitting with it, wondering what (if anything) to do.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, I don't have much of a concrete answer, other than to stay open. Don't give up, on the meeting, or the person. Trust the spirit that may lead you to elder, or trust that it is not your place to elder, and that someone else will do it. Admit frustration, to yourself, or to trusted associates, but then return to the place of staying open, knowing that the meeting is stronger than any individual behavior that is going on within it (at least that has been my experience).<BR/><BR/>I think your query that you bring up is an important one, and I for one would like to see our meeting use it more. <BR/><BR/>In the Light,<BR/><BR/>Mia (who is not the same anonymous as above)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13642801.post-45069334218826052702007-02-24T17:07:00.000-05:002007-02-24T17:07:00.000-05:00Thanks anonymous.

In how do we forgive and how do others know that we forgave them?<BR/><BR/>And what do we do when we fail?Robin M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10336915224193704866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13642801.post-66573532043169840702007-02-23T00:30:00.000-05:002007-02-23T00:30:00.000-05:00Use all methods of communiation.

Forgive all trespasses.<BR/>Ignore nothing to maintain love. <BR/>If a baby hiccups in meeting, celibrate the fact that it's there.<BR/><BR/> At least that is my idea about how things should be done. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for all the love of your posts.<BR/><BR/>PeaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
