chrisdownunder Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Christianity in my life has become a stubborn stump with roots that go deep. Pulling this dead tree up is effecting all the other trees, i'm afraid i'll fuck up the rest of the garden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipVanWinkle Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 What a great metaphor. Even tho it does causes some temporary damage to uproot, in the long term it works well. bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ousian Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 It may cause some short term damage, but in the long run you will heal and be both stronger and better off for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Moderator TheRedneckProfessor Posted June 14, 2014 Super Moderator Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Perhaps just cut the tree down and let the trunk and roots die naturally? That way, their organic material will fertilize the rest of the garden as they decompose. Just an old farmboy's suggestion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
