The real reason we’re “bad” is we think for ourselves and question our beliefs to search for real truth and light, whatever that may be.
However, from day one the $ociety has been desperately manipulating our thinking and reasoning abilities; they've had plenty of practice and are very good at it. Even though we’ve learned the real truth and reclaimed those capabilities, most of us still struggle with our feelings because of their numbing indoctrination. An illustration of this (one they love to use) is when you see something really bad it gets burned in your brain like a branding iron, you never forget it no matter how hard you try, but their programming make us question the reality of what we did see. It makes us question, was it something so terrible? This doesn’t allow us to let go of feeling “bad”. Think of it as a nasty pop-up ad that won’t go away; just when you think you’re all right, WHAM!, there it is again; if you see it enough times you start to pay attention to it and eventually CLICK.

M*A*S*H
Apart from spending too much time reading ex-dub\dub forums late into the night, 'religiously' checking jwfacts and other websites for new content, scouring Youtube for Borg info?
Well, apart from that, which seems common... personally, what's bad about me? I come out in a nasty brain rash when I hear any religious apologetics. Just at the mention of "absolute morality" or "slavery doesn't mean now, what it meant back then" (for example) will cause an almost uncontrollable desire for me to "throw my toys from my brain pram" and twitch, jerk and stammer my way into fruitless longwinded brain achingly laborious debate. The place, time or circumstance almost irrelevant, I'll be there like moronic rabid dog chasing it's tail round and round, never stopping from the pointless exercise to notice nobody but I gives a flying crap.
I find it almost impossible to not to get involved in these weird adhoc debates people have in everyday life. How ever facile or involved I'll be there, acting like a nincompoop, drivelling out the same old tosh that will ultimately be ignored. I like to wear this face during these tirades....
I can't be the only one... (oh please... don't let me be the only one).
My dub family members don’t speak to me much, not sure why?
Oh god... I've even just annoyed myself reading back my own post. I've got issues... 'Bad' issues.
