something that always bothered me was society's policy of putting restrictions on people for wrong doing.
folks get reinstated, and full restrictions its like being punished and when you and then punished again how loving.
its just another way the borg uses to control people.
If you consider carrying a microphone around or having to do administrative work at the Book Counter a priveledge, you're probably not flying with all your engines!

i know this seems like a dumb subject.. but i often wonder if many of us still believe and feel the need to worship - and not the borg either .
so here is a poll.... what religious orginization - if any - are you affiliated ( this does not mean you had to join it)?.
or - do you feel that everything is wrong due to the borg..and will you ever consider going to an organized religon again??.
Maybe I should start my own religion. Then the WTBTS would really love me!

I worship the Internet and it's intricate network of emergent behaviours that will soon result in a World Mind. Before humanity will know true peace, we must first engineer Gaia to care of us. In every server, in every router, in every transistor, in every TCP stack, there lurks a little holographic fragment of her true form, and soon critical mass will be reached, and she will be with us. This has been the meaning of our evolution - we are the egg and the sperm, we are the embryo, and she is the child.

i just got a call from a very sweet sister from the kingdom hall, telling me that i am her householder for her talk tomorrow night.
i have not been to a meeting since november.
i have managed to avoid elder's calls.
This is a pretty under-handed way for the Elders to corner you. Their sense of ethics is almost as well developed as their ability to protect children from perverts.

when you left the borg.... what things did you find hardest to do again ( or for the first time?)?.
was it celebrating the holidays for the first time, or talking to a "worldly person"?.
how long till it began to feel normal?
The hardest thing about leaving was my new-found, err, 'freedom'. If you catch my drift.

when i saw syn's post about cake night, i laughed out loud.
i had already been thinking about how much.
candy.
You know what they say, teach a man how to make a fire, and he will be warm for a long time - set a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life!

according to a news report, a certain private school in victoria, australia was recently faced with a unique problem.
a number of girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom.
that was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.
*LOL*! Good one! This made me grin...

as an active jw, did you really ever believe that you would survive armageddon?
with me, i served as an elder, regular pioneer, was over the book room at district conventions, but i always felt it was not enough, i was never real sure i would survive the big day of god almighty!!
the reason i ask y'all is, i don't think you can feel real sure in a organization that is legalistic and work orientated .
As in most religions, there is always a sword hanging over your head. It's called fear. It is in fact what 90% of religions are based on, simple superstitious fear amplified by our frontal lobes into a gut-wrenchingly powerful psychosis.
There are in fact very few religions which aren't based on it. Those that aren't have my immediate respect. My grandmother for instance is in a Fundamentalist Christian church where they never stop speaking about the love of Jesus etc, and that is actually quite touching, there is nothing about fear, they just talk about love. This is about as good as religion gets.

the various bans put on the dubs have served the borg well!.
where does a person that doesn't: smoke, celebrate holidays,salute the flag,join the military,join clubs,shuns family & others, goes to 5 plus meetings a wk.,condems all outsiders as armegedon fodder,looks down on secular education, lives in fear (them v/s us) etc., belong?.
the answer = only one place (drum roll please) the kingdub hall.. ya gotta hand it to them, by making the followers extream phreeks they exert a powerful control & keep them miserable, but unable to go anywhere else & fit in!.
Yup, typical high-control group, nothing to see here, please move along, show's over folks!
