  at this point in my life i don't think i could trust any religious group.

  i don't even feel the need to be a part of anything like that right now, and maybe never will.. but i know of some who have joined other churches/groups since leaving the borg.. why do some join another religion and why won't some ever get involved again?.

  what makes us so different?.

  Hi and welcome Kyria.

  I have been reunited with a few people since leaving, yes!

  Even on this very forum................Ozzie and his lovely wife! We knew eachother when we were all in the borg. Then we lost track of eachother for about 6 years. (we live in different parts of this huge country, Australia) Then we ended up finding eachother again and have caught up a couple of times in the last 6 months.

  I have also bumped into a DA friend while shopping one day. He was really surprised that I said hello because he didn't know hubby and I had left the borg. We chatted and have been on a couple of social outings since then.

  I contacted a DF friend and had dinner with her, but funny enough, even though she is living with a guy, divorced her dub hubby (who SHE converted to a dub in the first place), and doesn't want to go back to the borg........................she doesn't want to hear the horrible facts. And she likes her children to be brought up by her dub hubby and dub, anointed mum. Go figure. She hardley ever contacts me.

  Another friend of mine who faded a long time ago got a phone call from me and she was really scared I was going to try and encourage her to come back! AS IF! Ended up going to her home, lent her CofC and invited her to a get together with a few from this forum last Saturday at the lake. Well, she is so thrilled to know so much, she has now got over her guilt and is happy to have us around again.........as we are to have her back!

  Just a few happy experiences to share.

  Cheers, Bliss

  Did Jesus disassociate from Judaism? Do we need to DA from the borg?

  by BLISSISIGNORANCE in

  is 'formal' disassociation from the borg a scriptural prerequisite?.

  do we have scriptural examples of written statements for disassociation?.

  or is it all a jw concept?.

  Are people who 'choose' to DA more honourable than ones who just 'fade' and no longer participate in dub activities? If one doesn't go witnessing or attend meetings, how can they be called 'witnesses'?????

  When the dubs themselves shun faders, doesn't that mean they are no longer viewed as dubs???????

  Personally, I am a happy fader.......I don't play by the borg's rules. And I respect people's choices in how they leave the borg.

  DA, DF, or faders....................we have all taken our stand against the borg's authority! We are all out. That is ALL that matters. Dubs know who they are and we know who we are. Besides.............God knows where we stand. We don't write letters to him stating our position.

  Any scriptures that prove one needs to DA to be REALLY out of the borg?????????

  Cheers, Bliss (of the happy fader class)

  I love having my best friend around.

  I was a single mum with 3 kids for 7 years, and although I am an independant type of person I missed having a close intimate friend. Being single was fun but I was happy when I met my future hubby.

  After my first marriage broke down I thought I'ld never trust anyone again. I lost faith in love. But it was restored. I like the fact that...................................

  ........................We enjoy eachother's company. We like the same things even though we are very different!

  ........................We can talk, work, do the gardening, sleep together! We challenge and support eachother, we have respect for eachother, and we love eachother. And at the end of the day we hold eachother.

  He is the one good thing I got out of the borg!

  I love being married to my husband because I love him!

  Cheers, Bliss

  Like the WTS needs anyone's money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  God, this whole thing is twisted and disturbing, without mentioning insane!

  I get so sick of hearing about injustices.....................let's hope that the WTS gets screwed somewhere, somehow because up until now they have screwed everyone else.

  I'm so glad to be out of IT!
