I can't imagine you being satisfied in any job where you aren't challenged regularly. I'll keep my fingers crossed that Job #1 sorts out soon. This sounds like the right call.

I have gone backwards for more pay with lesser job responsibility to have more time to take care of my son and my aging mother. Although it was a voluntary "demotion", I have more freedom now than I have had in the past 10 years. Plus, I am off for six weeks during the summer. However, my goal is not to move up the corporate ladder, but to move out into self-employment. For you, this was a good decision, but others have to consider their personal goals and circumstances.

It's in time like these where we showcase our true self, and when you mention that: "Going backwards in rank and responsibility, even for more pay, is career suicide" then you've truly given light to a person who wants to develop and I congratulate you. The best way is to develop a "work to learn, not to earn" attitude. Taking a completely different job for less pay can be greatly beneficial as you can learn heaps of new information. Congratulations on showing true character. Sorry to hear about you not getting this job. It’s in time like these where we showcase our true self, and when you mention that:

How does one do the same job for 15 years and why would they want someone who has done the same job for 15 years ? Are they expecting you to be the same way? They did you a favor!

I think you are better off without this organization that is in the re-org stage, total chaos when it is a re-org. Now why would anyone hire a person who did the same job for 15 years is beyond my comprehension, since this clearly shows inclination for a stagnation. I mean, how do you do the same type of work for 15 years!!???????? Man, this job market sure is funny!
