Is an example of farkel's work online? If so, would someone please provide the link? I've been told that it takes him up to a week to compose one of his pieces of work. They have supposedly been useful in helping hundreds of people out of the org. I'd like to read one. If not online, perhaps someone has something on harddrive and they could just cut and paste post it here.
Thank you.
They have supposedly been useful in helping hundreds of people out of the org.
I wouldn't hesitate to drop the "supposedly."
One of Farkel's pieces helped my future mother-in-law to drop her Witness pretense and admit to being disgusted with the hypocrisy she'd seen in her congregation. Another of Farkel's pieces helped lead one of my brothers into several months of inactivity, and although he's attending once again, he admits there something fake about it. He'll be out soon enough.
These are only two peripheral examples.
I have an old Farkel piece on my laptop, and perhaps later today I'll cut-and-paste it into a new thread.

Thank you, Dedalus. I was beginning to wonder. Norm, kent, tina, wendy, alley cat, alan have all touted farkel's great "work", but I haven't witnessed it personally. I know no essay of his (or anyone else's, for that matter) helped me find my way out. All I needed was one-hundred-year-old quotes from books and magazines and a little thought.
I will leave the word "supposedly" in the phrase "supposedly helped hundreds," though. The fact that an essay of his helped your future mil means that, as far as I know, he helped 1. Lots of us have done that without spending a week writing an essay. I can beat that, but it did take a lot of conversation.
For all the farkel sycophants that are out there, I'm still waiting for someone to step up and show me one of his profound essays. Why is that so hard? You guys' refusal (inability?) to show me one is really puzzling.
Perhaps we feel that you are unworthy of receiving this information.

Teejay,
I do not consider myself a Farkel sycophant, but in deference to your laziness, I offer the following:

You can find much more in the H2O archives:

I thought you spent some time on H2O? I thought surely you would have seen Farkel's writing there.

Teejay, you know I like you. I think you're a very intelligent man with a strong sense of honor and justice. Regardless of assumptions that others may make about your motives, my brief interaction with you has, I think, taught me that that sense of honor and justice is where your actions come from. It makes you something of a crusader, I think; you're a person who likes to have a cause and fight for the underdog, and you may be a bit suspicious of views that seem too popular or which seem to be accepted blindly. In other words, I know your heart is in the right place. In a former life, you might've made a good knight.
At the same time, though, don't get carried away with it. Farkel... may not always be the most tactful or even the most likeable human being you'll ever meet, but he HAS written some brilliant things, and in regard to those, I think that his heart, like yours, is definitely in the right place. I won't slight him the good work he's done for others, even if his recent tantrums do disturb me a bit. And in the case of a certain recent thread, I would also give him some leeway for the difficulties he's been going through as of late. I know that pain and anger can make a person say/do a lot of things that they'll end up regretting later.
In other words, just let it go. Some crusades aren't really worth fighting, and I think that both your energy and your quick mind could be put to better use.
Your Friend,
*Rochelle.

Thank you, Rochelle, for saying it better than I could. Please, TeeJay, back off for a bit and cut a fellow human some slack. What would it hurt in the long run?
Fark, how are ya?

Hello Rochelle,
Good hearing from you! Absolutely made my day, Girlfriend!!
I will not comment on your assessment of me, even though (small) parts of it I don't agree with... not to say that you're wrong, mind you. You may be right <shrugging my shoulders>.
Don't worry about me. I'm not getting carried away. I just want to read one of his freaking essays that's all. No big deal. I'd asked Norm on another thread two days ago but no answer. My opinion about something I haven't read (a farkel essay, in this case) is totally neutral. I don't care to judge something based on the opinion of others.
Take care. I know, I know... I owe you an email. I forgot. It's coming. Have a good weekend. And thanks for looking out for your brother. Acts like yours are NOT overlooked.
Peace and love, my Friend,
todd
...in deference to your laziness...
Oh, MY, Ginny!! While you may have taken a sabbatical, it's good to see your sharp tongue is still intact. What have you been doing... brushing up?!! Btw, is my "laziness" an opinion, an assertion, a judgment, an... oh, never mind.
Fyi, I went to my search engine of choice (Google), typed in "farkel" and that was all I was going to do to find one of his essays. As you might guess, while it may be one of the highest rated search engines on the net, it ain't heard of no farkel, least not the one I was looking for. Go figure. I'm thinking somebody oughta geta clue but have yet to figure out which--Google? or farkel?
Since i went to only one search tool, that makes me lazy? Okay... I'm lazy. If so, farkel's toads are afraid of me reading one of his essays. 'cause...
...I thought with all the farkel toadies hanging around "at my fingertips" (as it were) one would step up and point me in the right direction. It's good your sabbatical ended when it did, thank god, because Norm became mute as a mackerel when I asked him and the Englander thinks I'm unworthy to even feast my eyes on one of farkel's wondrous essays--toadyism at it's very finest, I'd say. Very good, Englishman. No wonder you English guys... oh... nevermind.
Thanks again, dude.
peace,
tj
I thought you spent some time on H2O? I thought surely you would have seen Farkel's writing there.
By the way, dude, I did spend time on h2o, not my life. I saw farkel's "writing" there, but his "writing" here is fresher in my mind, for some reason.
later
