SECRET SIGN FOR FADERS
by Bob_NC infaders need a secret sign to use at the khall.

by Bob_NC inback when i was preaching that this generation of 1914 would by no means pass away, that they were all very old, having been old enough in 1914 to understand the significance of the events of that year...it was just me running ahead.
i made it all up!
running ahead with ideas of my own.
