Rockhound,
I really admire how your whole family has stood up to the elders and the society over this, you stood up for what was right and risked everything because you refused to live a lie anymore. Seriously, I admire your whole family very much, you have really inspired me a lot through all this. I handed in my appeal letter today and am going to present a very good argument for 607 this next time around, and hopefully people out there on the web will see how the elders and the society refuse to listen to reason and their true nature will be brought to the fore. I know what I'm doing now is right, morally and spritually I could not take any other path. To stay in and pretend I'm one and support the lie just to keep my parents happy is not an option for me anymore. This orginization has caused to much pain and the people in charge have to much power over other peoples lives. This project is my own crisis of conscience, its my way of speaking out against the injustice done by the borg. When I think that I've actually studied with people and helped them get baptized into this cult I feel ashamed. I hope this project will redeme me in some way for what I have done.
