This story needs to be told and retold many times over. Marvin Olson was my roommate for a time at Watchtower Farms. This is not some made up and contrived story. The Olson brothers came from a 'very theocratic family'. In fact, their grandfather had been a Circuit Overseer. The mother struck me as a real cold BITCH and the father was sort of a 'milquetoast'. Poor Jimmy never had a chance being born into such a family. Many 'theocratic' families sacrifice their children on the 'altar' of full time service for the prestige, prominence and accolades to be gained in the eyes of other witnesses. We should never let the memory of such 'sacrificed' ones go unhonored. Thanks Bangalore for 'bumping' this thread. I have been looking for it for a long time!
(As a side note: I think that I remember joelbear at Watchtower Farms. If he is who I think he is, he had guts. He was being chewed out by that complete a-hole Alan Flowers once and when 'Brother' Flowers was finished joelbear said to him: Thanks Mister Flowers and walked away!)
