Just saying "get over it" is pretty vauge and shows a lack of insight when referring to the Borg experience. But sometimes in other situations I dont feel completely the same. There are some who go on with such self pity about situations that are so transparent as they have described it that saying "get over it" means more than simply moving on. It means get over yourself and your obvious post amounting to a pity party. Either way, I think the point can be made more appropriately by a better choice of words.

Have you been Invalidated?
by Londo111 inhttp://www.eqi.org/invalid.htm.
of course, being in a cult and the shunning that comes from leaving it is invalidating.. but how many times have we heard "move on" or "get over it"?
that is a prime example of invalidation.. sometimes this forum, as well as others, can be a mixed bag of validation and invalidation..

What's the difference between exJWs who FLOURISH and those that don't?
by Fernando inquite a few here on jwn seem to have grown and developed in leaps and bounds, sometimes beyond their wildest dreams.. others seem to still be struggling.. what do you think makes it possible to flourish?.
the degree to which our mind has been liberated from watchtower thinking?.
if so, this seems to happen in many different ways, so what is the secret?.

I think it relates to what extent the Borg defined your sense of being. If you are adrift after you will feel useless. Find a purpose and live happy in the knowledge that you are free to make decisions based on your own power of reason and experience.

One witness told me they dont like Gen 2:7 because it now reads "Adam became a living person" and not a "living soul". This screws up her whole ministry ya know?

The great poet Maya Angelou passes
by designs inher life embodied how the human spirit can rise from crushing conditions to mentor, role model and teacher.. she went mute for 5 years after being raped at the age of 9. in that time she found her inner spirit to write and speak for others.. her life course went from working in brothels to teaching in universites.
from broken home to addressing the nation at william clinton's inaugeration.. her poems touched millions of lives.
i know why the caged bird sings; on the pulse of morning; a brave and startling truth:.

I'm sorry she is gone, but I never liked her work or the reverence she was given. She exuded a certain snobbery in her manner which belied her nature. Without her backstory I would never have guessed her roots. I think her manner turned some people off. I like poetry that is both meaningful and witty at times, not simply dark and brooding. To each their own.

The weapons he bought cost over 3 thousand dollars. He drove a BMW. He bragged about his 300 dollar sunglasses. He was a 22 year old college student, so how did he have money to arm himself, drive a Beemer and buy so much weaponry? What a surprise, divorced wealthy parents. He had two mental health professionals that he was seeing. Guess the parents weren't much use other than to feed his downward spiral. I think they bear much of the guilt for his mental state. Total neglect and buying his friendship despite his mental problems.

Hail the Theocracy, ever increasing! God' chariot runs down another worldly person for three parking spaces. Typical. If he would just study with them he would be able to walk again after he dies and is ressurected and proves faithful to Anthony Morris and the GB gang, cause they get to be appointed over him! Hey, why wait?

it was never the convention that was fun, it was working in the kitchen as a kid in those paper hats and aprons as tall as we were, stirring monster pots of sauce with huge wooden spoons while standing on a platform, now that was fun! Who ever heard any of the program? Being out of town, and in a huge tent dining area was the best. Looking for each other in the crowd was exciting for a tween. Of course every convention provided some pronouncement from on high in the from of a book full of speculation, Life Everlasting in the Freedom of the Sons of God, Babylon The Great Has Fallen, Then is Finished the Mystery of God. Heady days my friends. All turned out to be bullsh*t.
