    If you were still in contact with the person you studied with in comming in to the borg.

    Did you (A) Tell him why you no longer feal the same about the borg. (B)How did he take it.

    I personally lost all respect for the man. Basically it was ovbiouse he had seriouse doubts. He accused me of trying to destroy his whole belief system.(Actually Its to strong to say I lost all respect) I mean this man had sinceley given his all to the borg he quickly rose to elder got his wife and 2 of his 3 kids baptised was totally committed,donated his time and money thought he had done right by me and I had sat back laying on truth after truth backed up and sabstantiated by the socities own literature.

    I felt it a moral responsibility to tell this man the truth for a thousad good reasons but watching his ideas shatterd , one by one and his carefully reasoned arguments split wide open his so clingling to "The world is full of wicked people so even if its not the truth its better than than the world." I mean I always was the lucky bastard and sadly I think he recognised that.

    Hi there!

    I am not in contact with my "study buddies" that got me into the truth cult. They all hated me b/c I was bad assosiation - one, b/c my hair was too short (!) and the other b/c I hate his guts. (well, I don't really HATE him..)

    You did the right thing... if I was still in contact with them, I would say the same things. They will never learn, though. Although your words have a ring of truth, they don't matter to someone who has devoted his whole existence to it and does not want to change.

    You did the right thing. Don't feel bad b/c the brainwashed idiot didn't respond.... he could not be an idiot, I'm just typing too fast.

    Ta for now.

    Shamus.

    One of the two that studied with me has died. He was a nice guy, even made the cover of the Awake once, standing on the front of a troop transport heading for Iwo Jima. The other guy was a Gilliad Grad who served time in Central America. He was a real smug, arrogant, window washer! Had him and his wife stay with us here in Florida for a while, always hated the guy after that fiasco! Now the people I've studied with know the score with me. One is DF'd, for smoking, and plans to get reinstated so that when he tells them to kiss off it is in good standing. I asked him why he wants to put himself through all that? But he does not want them to have the upper hand. His logic escapes me. He does have a daughter "in" so maybe that has something to do with his feelings! Maverick

    Why does he care if he's in good standing? It would only be with the congregation anyway. If he is a believer in God, that's who "good standing" should be with, IMHO.
