And learning from my parents, I'll likely be able to retire at 55.
Bad examples are sometimes the most educational.
My brother and I are shooting for 50.

TooBad TooSad
I was told by the elders and my parents that I would never have to graduate from
high school because that end was so close. That was in the mid 1960's. Now
my children have gone thru high school and I have grandchildren in junior high.
When I remind my mother of her words she says "but just think how much closer
it is now than then." You can not reason with unreasonable people.

Tell her about my mom, who became a witness in 1950 because they promised she would not grow old.
Today she is an 84 year old great-grandmother.

I agree, maybe by the time we are 70 or 80 my wife will finally believe that the WT org is and has been full of sh*t !
The only think that sucks is that I would have wasted a whole lifetime going to meetings a couple of times a month and not enjoying life to the fullest. Scary.

My grandparents could remember C.T. Russell. They spent their entire adult lives believing the end was less than 5 years away. They believed that all through the 20's, 30's, 40's 50's and into the 60's.
They passed away many years ago.
