  You've got me all teary-eyed...!!

  I am so very, very impressed with your maturity. Even more so than before reading your bio.

  Thanks for sharing some of your personal life with us.

  It's always amazing when kids turn out so well inspite of their upbringings. You're doing a great job at using your head and thoughtfully creating your own life.

  If you ever find yourself in California, let me know. I've got a lovely extra room and would be happy to have you visit.

  When Did the Strangulation Begin?

  at what point in time, do you think, that the gripping control began by the gb on the r&f?.

  i realize that there had always been a control issue with the leadership at crooklyn that has been documented back to c.t.

  Juni wrote: I'd say starting in the 90's when they started expanding and building the Patterson estate. That's when the demand for money started and has got out of control. Seems like the money isssue is at the forefront.

  I always thought this 'plea' for money was primarily due to the society going to the contribution arrangement for literature, etc and that less was being donated.

  Secondarily, that's about the time that the 'worldwide work' program was initiated. I thought the buildings were an aside to demonstrate that the contributions were being utilized for something tangible.

  But - I could be wrong. It was just my impression.

  Richie, The Hero of Thousands the champion for Millions.

  in this overcrowded world,very few real heroes are noticed.

  if the media can sectionalize it , then it just isn't news worthy.

  legends like robin hood, were only born through word of mouth.

  I'm not - but there's a very active group from somewhere in Wisconsin.

  And they meet up pretty regularly...

  HadEnuf, Whyamihere, buttlight, are just a few. I think there are about a dozen from the state.

  Remember, it's pretty late there now (2am??) - so post again to this thread tomorrow to 'bump it to the top' of the active list. I know some of those Wisconsinites will respond...

  So, why did I meet with the elders?

  by lola28 in

  this is my explanation as to why i met with the elders today.

  when i agreed to meet with the elders last week i had made up my mind to just go in and be honest with them.

  i was going to tell the elders that i no longer believed this to be the truth, and then i was just going to walk away.

  It's been more than 24 hours since Richie's posted. Maybe mom pulled the computer??

  I hope you're OK, Richie.

  Can someone with his phone number ring him and make sure he's OK? See if there is anything we can do for him??
