28Mark my words.....Time is short.....
by LDH inthe society will not and can not allow current levels of defection without sanction.
shunning is their hallmark and what allows members to live in their hypnotic dream-like state, away from the evil informative apostates.. soon they will have to either change their baptism questions again, with the phrasing something like &"only by doing all the things jw in good standing do can we be considered as jw" blah blah blah.
they will then use that as a springboard to da or df members who don't attend meetings.. either that, or they will adopt another one of their stunning resolutions [8>]like they've resolved in the past.

having ones family support unit regardless of whether one is following the borg regimen or not is a nice thing to have. A lot of people didnt have that option. I didnt have that option.

To All Those With The Elders' Textbook
by stevieb1 ini'm not an elder but i do have a photocopy of the book from the net.
a number of elders in the congregation say that i should hand it over to them as "i should not have it.
" the chief reason they give for their request is that the information therein (such as the chapters on judicial cases) is not for my consumption and would not be of any use to me as i'm not an elder in the same way a book on surgical technique would be of little use to me if i wasn't a practicing surgeon.. the claim is made that those who post confidential "to the body of elders" letters on the net are being dishonest - therefore they are not christians.

anger triggers...
by zanex inthis last week some of my mother's family (my gma, gpa, uncle etc) got in contact with me.
they are all non borg and have been anti borg for as long as i can remember but for years i treated them like shit because i was "trained to" but now when i talk to them and hear that they are just normal people with normal lives and i feel very guilty for the way i once treated them.
they dont hold me responsible for any of those actions and always tell me that i am family no matter what.

lisa: check yer email...yer ahead of the game
mulan: yah I try not to blame them but since i became a father myself I have some serious doubts as to their definition of "whats best for my kids" but we dont see much of each other so no biggie there. Its a good thing that we live 2 states away from each other.
billygoat: I have led a helluva wild life since the night of my df'ing it is just the absence of those opportunities that I could have become closer to my extended family that I get angry about. I take advantage of EVERY day that I have now and have been for a long time but still those triggers continue to get a reaction out of me. Its great fuel that anger but I'm sure it isnt very healthy. whatever dont kill me makes me a crazier person I guess LOL.

ok so here it is. This last week some of my mother's family (my gma, gpa, uncle etc) got in contact with me. They are all non borg and have been ANTI borg for as long as I can remember but for years I treated them like shit because I was "trained to" but NOW when I talk to them and hear that they are just normal people with normal lives and I feel very guilty for the way I once treated them. They dont hold me responsible for any of those actions and always tell me that I am family no matter what. At that point they started tellin me about my cousinz bday parties and the holidays of the past and i felt a surge of anger/hostility towards my parents. I shudnt hold them responsible because they are just as brianwashed as I was but that anger still comes up...this make sense to anyone? I am tryin to NOT get mad at those random things but damn....

Some of my DF'ing
by gsx1138 inwarning: this is graphic but a true account.
i was df'd for committing fornication.
i had already started to figure out that the religion had some serious flaws but that didn't stop me from feeling like all my misfortune was brought on by my disobedience to god.

better..? Definitely. Freedom to think gave me the world. Leaving the borg gave me freedom to USE it. Nothing is perfect tho I still to this day have no faith in god or any type of "higher being". Life in general is AWESOME tho. I wouldnt change it for anything.
