    Since leaving I've lost a few friends. But I distanced myself from them when I got married. I knew they would try to convince me that my husband was one of satan's agents. Once I learned the truth about "the truth", I left the hall for good. Thank goodness my family is not in the Borg, except for a couple relatives.

    The greatest consequence was losing my parents. Since 92, I have not seen my dad. My mom from 92 until 2000, we reunited, but our relationship has never been good since we did get together. Currently, I do not speak to her, not with a grudge. But the org and what she has gone through has pushed her over the edge of reason, and she holds herself accountable for nothing, its everyone else's fault...I feel a dark cloud around me when I am around her (2x times since 2003 I have seen her) or when I have talked to her on the phone. I feel all she cares about is herself.

    That indeed is the biggest consequece for me, above. I would still make the same decision I did in 1992 even if I knew my parents relationship would be severed.

    Interesting! Even though we know what the consequences are, we still would leave. You have to be true to yourself.

    Well, so far I'm living happily ever after. They were wrong about bad consequences. I have never been happier or more at peace.

    Its all been good for me too. All I ever wanted was to be independant and have the freedom to live my like the way I want which is what I have. Its funny, cause I think when I ever I do go back to the hall on I imagine all the ones there are staring down at my belly wondering if I'm pregnant yet cause thats what they expect. That I've run wild and am doing drugs and drinking every night.
