  i haven’t posted in awhile.

  my wife asked me after the year 2000 came and went without fanfare(because the wt organization said all the “new world” would be here within this 20th century would end), “ what would it take for you to leave the truth?”.

  my reply was “ if i turn 60 in this “system of things”.

  I know, but I’m just wired to live! I truly love living and doing outdoor activities and the thought of it all coming to an end is crushing.

  Hey guys, thanks for all the kind words! I’m addicted to this site and is probably the best therapy for me. I just need to come to grips that I am mortal and this will all end for me one day and that is what sucks!

  I was always wired to live, not die. The thought of dying had never been in my vocabulary and scares the sh_t out of me!

My reply was “ if I turn 60 in this “System of Things”. We both laughed!

  Well, back in May 2019, I turned 60. We are not laughing now. We stopped going to the meetings cold turkey, as I can not get over the fact we were misled and wasted some 40 years of our vital energies on a unfulfilled dream! Having no retirement, savings, and plenty of debt, I’m in shock and heartbroken.

  The friends that called to ask about our missing the meetings, I told them we are heartbroken that this “System of Things” is still going on and we were told it would all be over by now!

  One Elder that had been calling me every week (I stopped answering his calls), had left a message in July saying that if I didn’t return his call, he wouldn’t call anymore and he hasn’t.

  we had our first family thanksgiving gathering this last thursday with our youngest sons family.

  before we started to eat we went around the table saying what we were thankful for.

  what our granddaughter had to say brought tears to our eyes.

  plans for december:.

  a few friends and i have planned a full month of kindness , giving and sharing experiences for us to help those who may need it.. the first weekend of dec we are all going to be taking some elderly ones who are on their own, cant get out and about for christmas shopping.they are alone (except friends, no family who cares to be there for them at all) , so we thought we can take them shopping for gifts and stuff, it will help them get out too for a day or two.. second weekend will be spent with wrapping gifts ,writing cards, letters for these elderly ones and taking them out for an event which they chose to go to.

  third weekend we and these elderly ones are all sharing in making different dishes ,soups,muffins, cakes etc and taking them round to the homeless shelters and giving it out to people there (volunteering there afterwards too ,they need all the help they can).. fourth weekend us friends are going with gifts to three different shelters for the homeless and donating it there plus volunteering in a soup kitchen.. fifth weekend us friends have arranged for all these elderly ones to a weekend of chilling , fun activities for them ,food n drinks n all.. just doing this so those who havent got anybody can also feel the warmth, kindness people have and so that thye do not feel left out and depressed.. so looking for ward to a busy and happy giving december for my friends and me.. can you think of anything else that can be added to these above mentioned activities?.

  What was the retirement plans you heard brothers talk about if any

  by JimmyYoung in

  i know some would not think about retirement.

  i had one brother who would pioneer as he could afford and when he paid off his home he was about to collect social security.

  he made enough that his plan was to work two to three days a week and pioneer the rest of the week.

  You were considered weak and bad association if you talked about retirement.

  Ewart Chitty

  by NoAbuse in

  ewart chitty was appointed as secretary-treasurer , which position he held until his appointment to the governing body in november 1974.. when in brooklyn, chitty seems to have preferred younger men as roommates.

  the actual charge brought to the gb against chitty was made by a former roommate and involved some sort of inappropriate conduct.

  the gb concluded that chitty had homosexual tendencies, and asked him to resign.. a rare photo of chitty in happier days.
