    Oompa! What are you saying? Does it really matter that I was a 300 lb trucker who had never been a JW???

    I've found through the years that the fastest way to weed out the bullshitters is to invite them to an apostafest. The blowhards never show up.

    That is good - I went to a Wisconsin Apostafest amnd met some very cool people including Blondie and Husband

    There are a lot of people who can't go to one because of their situation, but they're not who I'm talking about when I say "blowhard". Stilla, I hope you make it to Dallas someday. We're overdue for one.

    Just because you're invited to an apostafest, doesn't mean you can go, especially if it's not in your town. Some people work on the weekends, too. I have met two people, face to face, from JWD and talked to several on the phone. I have not been able to make it an apostafest. I believe most fakes will show themselves eventually.

    What's a blowhard?

    To me, a blowhard is someone who seeks out controversy on the board, someone who people are interested in knowing or at least meeting irl and then when they realize they might actually have to put their money where their mouth is, chicken out at the last minute, even after asking you to help them book a hotel room or reserve a bedroom in your home for their visit.

    But that's just my definition. FHN would not be included in that ;-)
