G'day metatron,
I always look out for your threads, you invariably have something worthwhile to say - you and I have been around here for more than eight years and have surely learned much along the way.
The description of the Borg as being an evil empire is certainly something I believe although i'm not sure it's the worst the world has ever seen.
As for showing them no mercy though, I'm not so sure. There's no doubting that Mrs Ozzie and I have plenty of reason to despise them; amongst other things Mts Ozzie has suffered horribly from the vindictiveness of certain Bethel elders in Australia who abused her and their positions to horribly harm her. I don't give details for privacy reasons but if I were to dwell on what they did, it would eat me up.
And that's the point isn't it? We cannot let them continue to rule our lives even after we have left. Our lives would be ruined, we would be mere shadows of what we could be.
The truth is that even if they changed, they could never change in the essentials - they are disciples of a lie. How could changes 'around the edges' prove to be real change? No, a leopard cannot change its spots.
There comes a point when we must put it all behind us, reaching forward into this wonderful world.
Work for the day when the Watchtower is an irrelevancy in our lives - it surely is for most of the world's population.
Greetings from down underneath you!
Ozzie
