My updates are mostly paradoxical. The good news is, I haven't died. The bad news is, I'm getting older. Many of my older Witness relatives and acquaintances who were shunning me because I thought they were going to die, have died. So, while they shunned me as they wished, I had to wait till they died to prove I was right . . . and now I don't get to tell them.
I thought as I got older I'd somehow become magically satisfied with my personal knowledge and with my material collections, but I haven't. I keep reading and seeking out the mystics and sages. It's like testing my theories has become my hobby. My son told me this weekend that sarcasm doesn't require intelligence but irony does. I guess it's sort of like when we were Witnesses and we misrepresented ourselves to rescue our worldly neighbors from their own dishonest lives.
When I learn how to post pictures here I'll post pictures of my parent's home in bum's town. It just didn't seem right to me, as an adolescent, that we would drive out of a weedy, junky, run down home and call on nice homes with manicured lawns to tell those people how we were going to make a paradise park out of the whole world. It seemed to me that we should stay home and mow our own lawn before we took that message to town.
