Hallo Its_my_life, glad you are here.
You say you have a hunger for knowledge, but feel that you are too old. Close to 50 is not too old. Maybe you could find what fields have shortages, then train for it. I know where I am there is a shortage of maths and science teachers, for example.

i wasn't in the organization in 1975, i came in 20 years later. i heard about that year from the brother and sister who studied with me. since then i always heard the same thing, the society never said it and people just jumped to that conclusion. i accepted that but what didn't dawn on me was the question --- why didn't the society correct in writing in a watchtower the error to their thinking. surely they must have known so many thought the end was in 75. i wish i would have thought to have asked that.

G'day jurs,
You could have thought to ask it, but it wouldn't have done any good. The Borg are experts at obfuscation. 'Never admit a mistake' is their policy.
Cheers,
