  Well, you’re still here too! 😛

  Actually everyone here has their own story but in my case I ‘joined up’ from the former H2O and then on JWD laterJWN formed a tremendous attachment to many posters who, like me, had their own experience of the Borg.

  In my case I’ve been away a while caring for my sick wife (Mrs Ozzie) but in all my quarter century after leaving the Borg I’ve made a different and fulfilling life. My interest in the Borg continues because of family circumstances but it would be wrong to think “I can’t let go” because I have and in my new world the Borg is irrelevant.

  Twenty something years ago I formed connections with some people here which I still treasure.

  My advice would be to allow yourself to do the same.

  Cheers,

  Ozzie 🍷

  Who'll tell the haters what's in store?
  Who'll clarify the girl in the pic is not a whore?
  Lloyd here I am, Send me! Send me!
  I'll defend you on JWD fearlessly!
  No greater honour could there be, Lloyd.
  Here I am, Send me! Send me!

  Absolutely love it!

  The scary thing is that I still remember the tune, and that’s after a quarter of a century out of the borg. Will it ever go away?

  It sounds like an orchestra has been gathered to drown out Kim Silvio.

  No?

  Man, I’m confused!

  Why would someone want to take part in their rituals after disassociating from them?

  Sounds like you’ve never really left.

  A single Bible verse that explains everything—hope even to the disfellowshipped

  by Abraham1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  "through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;.

  through the fear of the lord evil is avoided.” (proverb 16:6, niv).

  sin can be cancelled [yə·ḵup·par] by acts of goodness such as kindness [bə·ḥe·seḏ] and faithfulness, and sin can be avoided in loving remembrance [ū·ḇə·yir·’aṯ] of god.

  We are not saved by our own works. Otherwise, Christ died for no reason at all. If your own works had anything to do with your salvation, you would be doomed. That’s the whole reason you need a Savior.

  Amen to that!

  Even so, inactive ones are still our brothers and sisters, and we love them.

  And we won’t let them go.

  the watchtower—study edition | february 2022. study article 6. do you trust in jehovah’s way of doing things?.

  15 as the end of this system of things draws near, we need to trust in jehovah’s way of doing things as never before.

  during the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical.

  As the end of this system of things draws near, we need to trust in Jehovah’s way of doing things as never before. Why? During the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical. Of course, Jehovah will not speak to us personally. He will likely provide direction through his appointed representatives. That will hardly be the time to second-guess the direction or to view it with skepticism, wondering, ‘Is this really coming from Jehovah, or are the responsible brothers acting on their own?

  If it quacks like a cult and looks like a cult, it IS a cult.
