  several months ago i wrote a letter to two of my sons, still jw.

  the letter is 41 years belated.

  i am now 78 years old so this was a bucket list item.

  Hi WingCommander,

  Thanks for your memory about the early 1980's. However, I left in the late 70s so was out of the loop as to what was going on at that time.

  Correction: The day of the week was Saturday, so it must've been November 3, 1956. Thank you, Google.

  The venue was Westerly, RI.

  I met Carolyn Cashen there who was with her parents from Harwich, Mass. She went with me to my Junior Prom at New Bedford H.S.

  I guess I'm the old codger here at age 78. I was baptized 3 days before my 16th birthday. It was November 4, 1956.

  Ed Dunlap would give the featured talk on Sunday. You can read his sad tale of exiting WT in Ray Franz's book. A bit about him in the following youtube link:

  Here, I had just been dunked along with a native American. I always wondered why he retained his headdress. One dictionary defines it this way: "an ornamental covering or band for the head, especially one worn on ceremonial occasions."

  Beginning with sentence 4, Morris used the expression "prayerfully considering" 4 times, count 'em, by the time he finished sentence 7.

  Remembering the TMS some 42 years ago we called that "repetition for emphasis". I think, however, that this time he overcooked it.

  Fastjehu: a special thanks to you to help keep me on my toes

  Blondie: I can't believe I have never read that classic I clicked on your link and there is a volume of profound quotations here's one of my favorites

  Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”
  ― George Orwell, 1984

  I'm heading to Amazon to see if they have it in stock
