One evening while viewing television with a “family cable” subscription, I viewed for a few minutes a most disturbing, pathetic, and a tremendously psychologically damaging show. The host of the show refereed a “race” between two naked women with blackened circles applied to nipples and front genitalia running with quarter coins placed in between the cracks of their derrieres to a finish line.
Throughout this year and the beginning years of the twenty first century one read many disturbing stories of youths in the local news who were frequently killed and seriously injured in car accidents and through drug overdoses and suicide pacts. For example, one story described a group of teenagers in a neighboring county who jumped off of a high waterfall resulting in their deaths. Other frequent suicides involved individuals jumping off of a nearby bridge or stepping onto the railroad tracks in front of oncoming freight trains. The railroad’s reaction to these disturbing tragedies was to install louder, blaring horns on the trains and the thruway’s response to people jumping off of the bridge was to install suicide call boxes close to the roadway on the bridge. Also, news reporters who interviewed some people who knew the victims would bizarrely state that the deceased youths were behavior problems and trouble makers in addition to other derogatory remarks, concerning the sad and early demise of these children.
Acquaintances offered me some advice regarding the ever increasing immorality within this society. One acquaintance suggested that I ingest drugs which instilled in me a quiet outrage as I rarely ingested as much as an aspirin throughout my lifetime. It was also remarked that “Jesus provides” which I did not understand at that time. Later I interpreted this message to “hey Zeus provides” when I recognized how people gain wealth and power over others through the promotion of evil in the society (read the Commentaries shown at the end of this book). Another acquaintance suggested that “I move closer to God”. This advice I found to be most helpful as I began to diligently read The Bible.
Another acquaintance informed me of the terminal illness of a family member. I was sorry to hear about this illness and expressed and extended my sympathy to this person and the person’s family. The acquaintance then informed me that funeral arrangements had already been made for this ill family member. I thought this to be bizarre as the family member was living.
After resettling into our home in New York and by the early autumn, son, thirteen years of age began to receive disturbing solicitation in the mail. This solicitation invited him to join the NRA (National Rifle Association) which I was staunchly against as I despise the aftermath of what firearms have inflicted on many people in this country. Several pieces of solicitation mail from the NRA were received over a two month period. Finally exasperated and aggravated with this solicitation of a minor to join a gun club, I telephoned the organization to express my disgust with these harassing materials sent to son and also stated that I believed that this solicitation to be illegal as son was considerably underage for gun ownership. The group member spoken with over the telephone apologized and removed son from their mailing list.
Throughout this year, I began to experience an unusual fatigue and exhaustion. Deciding to seek remedial assistance, a physician prescribed various blood tests. All of the tests conducted on my blood
