    This is fantastic news. Best thing I've heard all day.

    I remember the night they announced my deletion as a MS.

    It felt like a won something when it finally sunk in. Like a prize.


    Bask in the moment, record the date, I wish I did to chart personal growth and progress.


    I'd love to hear your experience in a PM, please.

    Well done Stuck !

    I missed the Meeting where they announced my deletion, nobody told me it had happened, I eventually asked a friend and he confirmed it had.

    It was a first step on the road to sanity and Freedom.

    Good luck on your journey !

    Congratulations!

    You're probably now viewed as "spiritually weak" by your Glorious Ones & their clique - what higher praise do you need? Well done!

    Congrats!      Hopefully you got removed without creating too much extra stress in your family.       I am still a servant and would like to step down in the not too distant future.       If you have any pointers, please share them.

    Sorry to hear it was done in a bad way. They do this to humiliate you as an example so others don't step down or take steps to get removed.

    It's one step in the right direction. You're not so stuck in a rut now.

    Congratulations

    Congrats StuckinaRut!

    Good synopsis, BillytheEx!   I love how you summarize!  Something you cannot do in the Borg is vocalize or even 'take' a 'reality check.'

     It is good to be able to come to the realization that the "certificates," the "titles," the "degrees" that you get in the WT Borg are simply made up, and that other endeavors/ achievements will "not be taken away with an announcement" !!!!!!!!!    

    cha ching!

    Stuckinarut2: “I've seen it coming for a while....and while the way it was done stinks, I'm really happy to finally be free!”

    I saw it coming too and knew it was only a matter of time.  I had to reason with myself…Why am I still doing this, why am I letting people I would never associate with outside the religion get to me and treat me this way?!  Beating them to the punch brought more satisfaction than I could have imagined.

    Billy the Ex-Bethelite: “I remember that feeling. After all the work that I'd done slaving for the org and that pathetic congregation, I was removed in such a way as to try to humiliate me. There was a sting,”

    Yes, 40 years in – 23 of those years as an appointed man.  Funny how they forget that.  Humiliation is a tool they wield well.  I have many a story of how vindictive some of these men were.  One comes to mind readily – put the poor brother in charge of cleaning toilets to see how humble he was, too see if he would accept it.  I remember them having a good chuckle about that.  Yes there is a sting, but when it’s coming from hornets, it’s time to leave the nest. Remember hornets are predators – much like the men I used to call friends.
