Raw Blame History

I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you

"I do not intend to shame you, but to improve you" or "I am not trying to shame you, but I want to correct you"

admonish

tell someone that what they are doing is wrong and will cause bad things to happen

my beloved children
