    ***The only backward lyrics I ever heard was on an ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) album. Not sure of the album or the song except that it was one of their big ones

    I loved ELO----I had the 8 track of their songs! The "debasing music" crap was in full swing when my kids were teens. My (even then) superfine pioneer daughter (who lived at home then) used to get on my case about me listening to my Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn albums!

    I had ordered several albums with my Columbia Record card, and had gotten Lionel Richie and the Commodores, Tanya Tucker, and Michael Jackson (Thriller) among them. EVERY ONE of these had a song or two that were "objectionable" (to her) and at her constant nagging...I tossed them out. (sigh) I am STILL hurting over it! I was such a dumba$$!!!!

    Shortly after this happened we were listening to the public talk (she was sitting a row ahead of me) and the speaker brought out that even C&W music was full of debasing thoughts and not just rock music......and didn't she turn completely around with that JW "knowing look" on her face and look at me! As you can see, MY persecution began LONG before I left the WTS, LOL!

    So.....what's WRONG with "I'm Lying Here With Linda On My Mind".....or "Don't Come Home drinking With Lovin' On Your Mind".....or "Would You Lay With Me In A Field Of Stone".......(giggle)

    ***I remember when I was about 6 or 7 we played Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" which says in reverse something close to: "It's fun to smoke marijuana".

    I don't see what the big deal IS! LOTS of people do smoke it and enjoy it.....just because it's hidden within a song doesn't mean that the listener is then taken under a zombie-like spell and has no control over this and runs out to make the nearest score! (and I AIN'T talkin' music here)

    This is just ONE MORE area where the WTS wants control.....they don't WANT YOU to be playing or listeneing to anything other than the WTS tapes...so that THEIR control can be driven into your subconscious mind even more than it already IS! They want total control over everything you do, entertainment-wise and in every aspect of your lives.

    ***There is a backward message on the B side of a Beatles album which states very plainly, "Congratulations, you have found a backward message."

    Touche'!

    Arghhh! The original information about "backwards masking" was GARBAGE!

    How do I know? Because I played "Stairway to Heaven" backwards! The supposed phrase "my sweet satan" is nothing more

    than "there's still time (to change the road you're on)". No, it doesn't say "my sweet satan" - just a bunch of syllables that vaguely

    sound like that if you have a lot of imagination! Do Witnesses ever say "there's still time..."?

    It was this incident that proved to me that Watchtower research was ( and is) sloppy.

    I remember this well, a lot of people purged their record collections about that time. When dedpoet came in in 1992, he had all the Led Zeppelin albums, and was advised to throw them out, but I don't think he ever did.

    Yep. It's been found out that ANY conversation reversed can have words, sentences, etc., or what sounds like them anyway. I don't buy all the stuff on that site, but when you play ANYTHING backwards, you can find stuff. So, all the zeppelin stuff, etc., was likely coincidental

    There is a backwards message at the end of the credits for the cartoon "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy". It says, "No, no, this is the end of the show. You're watching it backwards!"

    I love that show!
