So so true...
Many people on waking up to the TATT completely forget and seem to completely skip the duty they now have to make amends. Perhaps we should take a lesson from steps 8 and 9 of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Steps 8 and 9: Making Amends
Step 8: “Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.”
Step 9: “Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.”
Although I was personally suckered and duped (mostly due to my own desire and need to believe in something) for about just 3 years back in the very early 80's (when I first started studying) and then much later for a year. (I spent 26 years away and went back to take a second look and saw right through it all) I know that the first thing I did when I left was to go to all my interested persons and Bible studies and tell them that I was wrong and that everything I believed and told them was true is in fact a whole crock of lies. It was my absolute responsibility to do this and I did so with around 14 people. They are all well distanced from the Borg in every way now. That was my making amends. It has to be done. It clearly seems to me that it should be everyone's duty to this.
And Focus.. despite many here having a bash and a poke at you. I can see an awful lot of sense in what you say and where you are coming from.
