It's better to invite the cousin, insist that he come, and don't forewarn any of the dubs. That way, when they make an ass of themselves walking out of the reception, it will show the normal people in attendance just how crazy the borg is. Also, making the dubs suffer for their beliefs rather than pandering to their "consciences" may help them wake up.

Ahhh - that right there is why your friend is allowed to go to the Y. Her daddy is one of the big cheeses and ahe can get away with anything. There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that a single mom with no status in the Borg could get away with that.

What I really hate....
by Perversion of a truth inis that i was born into this cult, taught and believed that i was going to live forever, , that i was never going to have to die.
now i am in my mid 30's realizing that this life is all there is and that after that i am dead forever and i am terrified.
i don't want this to be all there is, , i don't want to just live a few years on this beautiful planet and then become non existent forever!

I hope you get a handle on your anxiety levels, it would be a shame to waste the years you have here worrying about what will happen after you die.

Did you ever write your disassociation letter?
by make yourself inbut never gave it to the elders or anyone in the congregation?

I've never written a disassociation letter. I simply quit attending, and refused to answer the phone when any witnessess called. When I see witnesses in public, I respond if they greet me but that's it - no long personal conversations in the middle of WalMart. I don't feel the need to repudiate my association publicly, although I have discussed it with pretty much all of my post-exit new friends.

even at 43, my hair is so greasy that I have to wash it every morning. If I wash it at night, it's greasy again by morning. I've tried letting it go for several days when I don't have to go out in public to see if the oil production would slow down. It's unbelieveably gross after 2 days, stringy and wet looking. It never stops producing oil.

3)makes awful jokes that only they find funny.. 4)don't know any artists in the top 40.

I have no idea whether Just Ron is like his father, but I do know that he started falling asleep in his special chair in the evening long before he turned 30. I know he hasn't recognized any top 40 artists since before the turn of the century, and I shudder when I consider how much time he spends in the bathroom. In all fairness, except for the bathroom bit, I'm pretty much the same.

New "Donation Arrangement" is a DECOY!
by The Searcher input yourself in the org's position - distasteful as that is - and come up with a solution to solve the problems of not only recovering their stock market losses, but also, ensuring an increase in their dwindling revenue stream.. the major problem is, donations are voluntary (with no future guarantees) whereas pledges are compulsory - in the heart and mind of the giver!.
however, far too many will probably forget/refuse to keep up their monthly tax - with no way of knowing who is 'paying the man', and who is not.
master stroke - make plan a 100% certainty to fail in the first year, based on the 'anonymity' of the setup.

They may be "anonymous" for now, but if the take keeps coming up short, they'll figure out a way to determine who's not paying up.

Your Experience with Resigning as an Elder

and i'm completely exhausted.

I suppose the real issue is a lack of qualified men to do the work. Instead of spreading the load across many backs, it is heaped upon a few. In my opinion, the workload demanded of even the entry level publisher is enough to break a person who has any other responsibilities (like a job, family, home to care for).
