Dear Brethren,


I bring very sad news for many who have followed our site over the years. This morning Steven Bruns passed away after some lengthy health issues. Steven is my oldest friend and brother in this endeavor we call the Abib Calendar. He was there at the very beginning and played an instrumental part in getting the criteria out to anyone who was interested in it.


We met back in the mid 90’s. Linda and I had rejected the apostasy that was the new trademark of the WCG and left in 1993. Steven had contacted me shortly thereafter for some old literature produced by Worldwide many years prior to that time. I secured it for him as he was in a lengthy fight with the Organization up in the NW United States. He refused to go to services in a Masonic temple and was not quiet about it. The ministers insisted he needed to do so. He held firm and was told not to come back. He dusted off his shoes and moved on after many years of fellowshipping with them.


I think the first FOT we kept together was in 96 or 97. I was just starting to put my thoughts about keeping the wrong Calendar high days some year onto paper. He was in agreement and as the research and corresponding papers rolled out, he suggested we make a website offshoot to his personal one to make the papers available to everyone else. That is how the site started folks. It was all Steve with some help from his daughter.


Once I started going to Israel to confirm what our projections were the site grew rapidly as to participation. When in Israel we would email reports back to Steve and he would put them up on the site. That went on for a lot of years until he suffered a stroke of sorts.


That is when we set up a different method which is what many of you are familiar with today.


Steven will be missed greatly by many. He would always be the one who greeted brethren as they came through the door at the feast. Never took no for an answer when dishing out big hugs. There is no doubt his work in turning from a misguided calendar of men to that our Elohim is probably written in the book for a time yet to come.


He passed in the happy place he called home with the family activities taking place as usual. He would have it no other way.


He is at peace now awaiting his call.


Will miss his witty humor immensely along with everything else.


Please keep his family in your prayers.
