  OK, not the Awake!, but in Consolation, it's predecessor. Refer to this thread: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/128918/1.ashx

  There appears to be a "dirty joke" in the first issue (November 29, 1939) posted in the thread. A limerick is printed on page 2 under the heading "Equ Seau", amongst other "entertaining tidbits":

  There was a young lady named Fleau,
  She had a good-looking beau.
  Said Fleau to her beau,
  "Let us geau to a sheau."
  Said her beau, "If you'll bleau, Fleau, I'll geau."

  Did asking a girl to "blow" have a different meaning back then in 1939, or did they publish a dirty joke, inadvertently or otherwise?!?

  Most likely written by that pervert Judge Rutherford , he did carry on with a couple of mistresses

  Wasn't there a book called " Going Down on the Judge."

  lol - I freaked out when I first read it. One of my first topics and only 8 posts. I thought I had struck gold when I found it.

  Could "bleau" have meant "if you pay"?

  Galileo

  I've always wondered about the writer of the song that says "Like bees that were molested", then the very next verse is: "But we will ever beat them off". I think somebody snuck a double entendre in there. I mean, come on!

  To "blow" meant to pay. My grandmother used to say: "Let's go out to dinner, I'll blow".

  Changeling might be right, to blow as meant to blow your money away

  But I still think Rutherford was a pervert and a dirty old man.

  yes, I still use the term " blew money, time etc" or blow time, money"

  also, I have heard brothers from the platform say

  they were blown away, someone blew them off

  it is a slang term much like saying " screwed up". i have heard that too from the platform, the speaker was counseled privately.
