searching for remembrances

'69-'72 Searching for rememberances

from KEN aka JudahA - Sunday, August 27, 2006

My name was Judah A2. Recently, I stumbled upon this site, many years have passed and my memory is lapsing. So if you remember me, were at a colony during this time, or know of COG's (I remember) whereabouts, news, or information. Please reply and help me recover lost time.

At the Atlanta farm when horses Huzz and Buzz were there, installed the indoor waterpump,and while on night watch I set off the tear gas twice (I wasn't popular for that).

I traveled from Georgia, stopping at the Festival of Life in Louisiana for a few days helping the cook group (tribe). Onto Merkel [couple of months?] Stayed out in a tent down the hill from the big house, to sleep.

Remember some girl dragged out of a 'bible study' she was sreaming for hours-we were told she had demons. What would I know about demons, or angles for that matter, she did this for a couple of days and I think the 'POD'[Body Snatchers] finally took over. I had to look in my shoes every moring for tarantulas - saw big ones on the front wall.

Then to the ranch, I remember the ranch was very dusty,dry, and rundown. Arrived and left in a school bus. We were instructed to write letters home for stuff, shipped us out before packages arrived. Never saw the package after many requests of it's location, was indoctinated to believe it was suppose to be (one of the many clues).

Up to Woodland Park CO establishing/renovating the mountain top ranch (digging the septic filed). Also was at (not sure of this timeline), but memorable events at:

CHIGAGO IL; Dining room ceiling collapsed, during diner, from the bath water running out of an open drain pipe.

MINNEAPOLIS MN; Tear gased at the U of M union building during a protest.

DETROIT MI; On Woodward Avenue downtown.

CINCIN OH; Was here a couple of times, but not sure of the year(s).

ELIZABETHTOWN KY [farm]; A water hole was bulldozed, the goat and a girl was stung by hornets, Homer the old local palying his banjo.

I am looking for the individuals (espescially the man who witnessed to me) that were in the Gainesville, FL ministry who were obsorbed into the GOG in Atlanta, GA (around 1968), AND:

Amy Alleluiah, who I was betrothed to, traveled with from Denver CO, to Seattle, WA, then up through Bellingham, WA into the colony at Port Moody BC, Canada.last saw in Vancouver BC, Canada (around 1972). I left from here, and have always wondered how you faired.

Joshua [originally from the Northeast] I met at the Virgina farm (below the Blue Ridge Pkwy/Skyline drive) near Roanoke(?): whom I named my son after.

Rachael I met in Carbondale, IL who was so sweet, nice, and a genuinely loving person: whom I named my daughter's middle name.

If you remember me. tell me who you are, when, where, and some story/background.
