I called a guy I haven talked with for over two years yesterday. I met him at Bethel back in the 1970's. David B was known as the G Job king back then. In fact he is still mentioned in the "new boy" talks to this day. The reason being, after he worked a 47 hour work week at Bethel he had another 40 hour a week full time job out side of Bethel.
Pretty amazing when you think about. Not much time for sleep.
He hated Bethel. Like so many back there, he didn't want to leave but really didn't want to stay.
It sounds like many of the posters here. I can't blame them. Sometimes in life many people feel the pain "we know" is better than the pain "they don't know."
No matter how insane our lives maybe, the "unknown" can be a lot more scary!
Anyway he told me he is back "in" Borg. It took him two years to do it but he did.
Wow.... He left over twenty years ago!
I asked him why. He said "world conditions." I said "Dave we were never supposed to have got out of High school over 50 years ago. Armageddon was coming back then!"
He said "I know."
I wanted to talk to him more but really didn't know what to say.
In the end I told him "I bless and honor everyone's spiritual path and wished him the best."
Yes, there as been some tough times in the recent years but I never thought going back to that thought system could be an answer.
It reminded me of the movie "Invasion of the body stanchers." At the end when the guys friend becomes one of the aliens.
P.S. I wonder want the record is for the number of years of being out and returning to the.......
