At first, Uhura and Chekov were stern and had no trouble "shunning" those evil apostates. But, there was something about them that they seemed drawn to. They seemed so happy!

Sadly, more and more of the crew began to notice the apostates. They soon forgot about their responsibilities within the BORG and the ship began to slow down to a near stand-still.

Finally, Captain Kirk had no other alternative, it would soon be out of his hands if he didn't act quickly.

after physio today, i got on the bus to head home.

in a sleepy daze, i walked down the aisle looking for a seat on the mostly full bus.

my eyes then looked to the left and my heart went into the pit of my stomach.

JW's Are People Just Like You and Me

by Sentinel in

hello all my new friends here,.

when i disassociated myself back in 1981, there were only just a couple instances afterwards, where the jdubs came to my door in the service of their ministry.

during those times, i would never ever answer the door.

Since I live in a rural area (pop. @2000) I rarely see JW's. And I am about 250 miles away from where I was DA'd at. But, if I ever do have the occasion to "talk with them", I will try to remember your approach!

I still have 2 brothers who are "in" but one of them recently made contact with me to tell me of his dissatisfaction with them! That's how I found my way here! Even though it has been 16 + years since I said goodbye to my friends, I feel I am regaining some of them again as some of them have left too. I never thought I'd see the day! And I didn't "influence" them in anyway meaning I didn't try to argue doctrine or pick debates. I just tried to be me. I feel "elated" at the possiblities of a new found relationship with my brother and with my old friends!

Whatever the outcome of your "visit", I believe seeds were planted today and you found strength within yourself! They (WTS) no longer have the power!

I'm Sad Too

i have been coming here as a lurker for some time and occasionally posting.

i was first drawn by posts from alanf and farkel who i suspect are in my age bracket and from my era in the wts.

i look forward to bill bowen's posts because i have a personal interest in combating the abuse of children in any form or group.

Hi blondie, I'm sorry that you are sad. What to say? Hmmm, I guess I am thinking that there are so many people here from so many different perspectives. Some are still "in" the Jw's, some have one foot out the door, some are blissfully experiencing life out of the control of the org., some are very bitter for whatever reason (there could be many reasons!) Some are very good at expressing their thoughts, others maybe don't quite know how to phrase things "delicately" or in a "politically correct" manner so-to-speak.

I don't agree with attacks on individuals, I have my own viewpoints on certain matters that may be completely opposite of some of the posters here, but I try to see someone elses perspective. Maybe sometimes people hit the reply button before they have had a chance to really think about what they are saying and how it is coming across. I try to think about that when I see someone upset about this or that-that there is a bigger picture than perhaps meets the eye.

Bottom line, we should all feel free to be able to express our opinions without fear of being attacked for it. It is sometimes more difficult to refrain from speaking than it is to speak.

I have enjoyed all the perspectives represented here in this board. If someone rubs me the wrong way, I just try to not "go there".

Wondering if I made any sense out of the jumbled thoughts inside of my INFP head!

Karen,

What a great way to approach the whole matter! Maybe, too, she got to see that those who have left aren't these awful people doomed to destruction at Armmageddon! Maybe some good will come of it all and perhaps both of these women will be "released of this great burden".
