  Word spreading back home

  you all know how much jws loooove to gossip.

  so...i just finished a email conversation with one of my self-righteous, super jw relatives back home.

  let me preface this conversation by saying this relative is someone i don't communicate with, at all.

  You all know your particular situations but what if they might be waking up and testing the water?

  I know you have to tread carefully and all that but is there a non-committal non-threatening way you might enquire?

  You must try the FART test to see if she is a "keeper".*

  If you go out in the car for a drive to some romantic spot then as you get about ten miles away from home let out a massive rip-snorting FAAAART. If you can get it to change tone part-way through then that is perfect. A two-tone five second long loud fart.

  It needs to start loud and low then reach a crescendo in a kind of squeak at the end.

  Obviously it will take a few seconds for the aroma to reach her nostrils. The smellier the better. Rich and memorable is what you are aiming for.

  Is she a keeper?

  If she doesn't vomit she's a keeper.

  If she doesn't get out the car ten miles from home she's a keeper.

  If she goes out on a second date she's definitely a keeper!

  Hope that helps!

  The March JW broadcast, presented by paedophile enabler Geoffery Jackson

  all warm and fluffy this month after the utterly laughable 'bread' broadcast.

  .

  i'll always be grateful to the australian royal commission for allowing us to see this duplicitous, lying, creep, shown up as a snivelling, suck up, asshole, taken completely out of his self appointed authoritarian comfort zone.. anyway, a not too interesting broadcast i have to say..

  Leela1 - I endorse what "Wing Commander" said.

  Imagine if "THAT MAN" had joined the Nazi party - he'd have started like Irma Grise and ended like Heydrich - ending up like either of them would be a good end for him.

  Actually Lieu has the best suggestion!

  Edited to add: Steve 2 is "on the money" of course - being an x-jw and a prufeshnial an'all!

  1975 coverup! Compare the '68 and '81 Truth book scans

  by JimmyPage in

  the wt society pointed to 1975 as the date for the end of the world.

  when the date came and went they changed their publications to remove themselves from the fiasco.

  need proof?

  1st January 1989 WT page 12 para 8 last sentence.

  This tells us that the preaching work would be completed within our "20th Century" - now changed in the bound volume and on the CD ROM to "our time".

  The Book (Still on WT library CD ROM 2014) is the "Know Jehovah" - full title "The Nations Shall Know That I am Jehovah - How?" book (1971) Ch 12 p 216 par 9. which says that:

  "Shortly, within our twentieth century, the "battle in the day of Jehovah" will begin against the modern antitype of Christendom."

  Well done! Well done! To you and Candace Conti and those that put themselves through the gruelling processes to make this world a safer place. Just wonderful.

  I wish I had your courage. You are an inspiration.

  if you are a new person to the board you might want to send scully a pm thanking her for her hard work and dedication.

  the boe project owes her for helping it to get started.. example:.

  several years ago there was a website called (dirtclod.com) who had the courage to display the boes right out in front of everybody.

  Thank you very much. I love being able to drop snippets of elders letters into conversations - often before the elders read them themselves.

  Tough call. Welcome to the forum.

  Firstly as you describe yourself as "freeandcontent" is there any reason why you cannot tell your mum what you found wrong with the jw's? (As if two convicted paedo's in your old hall isn't enough!)

  Secondly once you have expressed yourself politely, kindly but firmly you can tell her that is why you don't want your 3 year old's head filled with ""die at Armageddon if she doesn't "love" Jehovah enough to get into paradise.""

  Your mother will deny that is what she will tell her but that is the fact of it isn't it?

  Hi Conan - I know this is only a very small part of your replies but you brought it up and further replied to say you believe that the "first moon landing" may not have happened but that "the others did".

  May I ask which one of the others you believe to have happened first? And why not the first one?

  This is not a trick or to belittle but I am trying to get a handle on your thought processes.

  I believe it is only right to tell you that I believe that the moon landings happened as generally described. Reinforced by my watching them live on TV as a kid. I never heard of anyone disbelieving them until after the highly watchable entertainment film "Capricorn 1" came along in 1978. This disbelief became more prevalent as the internet became more widely used.

  My belief was reinforced by a recent exhibition at the London Science museum showing the Russian (USSR) lunar landing vehicles including their version of a lunar module - which of course didn't get sent into space at all but which was in fact built ready for if and when they had a space rocket powerful enough to get it there.

  If the first moon-landing didn't happen then why did the Russians not shout loud and clear it was a fake? Just one point.
