Years ago I was in a demo on the assembly with a couple of other guys that I grew up with. I played the part of a guy who was into computers and out to make big money after high school. That was my key line: "Big Money!" Another guy wasn't sure what he wanted to do after school. My best friend played the part of a guy who was encouraging us to consider pioneering instead.
We got on stage and as the undecided guy spoke his lines a spit bubble came out of his mouth and floated on past us. Somehow I remained serious and kept going. My best friend told me later he would have busted up in laughter right then and there if I hadn't kept it together.
Years later, the undecided guy got involved with drugs. (Incidentally, when he came to rehearse the assembly part, he used to ask us what music we were into. He was into AC/DC at the time which prompted my best friend to counsel him about 'After Christ the Devil Came'.) In fact, at the lowest point of his life, the police found him hiding from them in the trunk of a car. I saw him not too long ago. He's not the same. His mind has been burnt out from the drug abuse. He's back in the safety of his family and the borg but his congregation is a lot smaller than it used to be.
My best friend hasn't been in the cult for years. He used to be a pioneer, just like in the assembly part. He was my best man at my wedding and we still keep in touch. As for me, you guys know my story.
Just thought it was interesting to look back at how things turned out for some typical dubs on an assembly part.
