Here in the town of Farmington, Maine, a new state of affairs exists which the world has never seen before. This change occurred today, June 6, at daybreak.
Henceforth, there will be no death and no illness (except the remnants of earlier illnesses which will go away in three days or less) within the municipal limits of Farmington. Nor will there be any crime or bad behavior. You are safe in Farmington; nothing will harm you here. The rest of the world is still the way it has been for millennia, so if you go outside the borders of Farmington you will not be protected in this particular way, though you will be no worse off than before.
Farmington is of course as free as any other American town. You may stay or leave as you choose. Nobody will try to make you stay or make you leave. Nor will anyone here try to keep anyone out. Do whatever God leads you to do.
There will be public meetings every Tuesday evening to discuss new questions that may come up because of this drastic change in the nature of Farmington. Anyone may attend them. The first such meeting will take place on Tuesday, June 6, at 7:30 p.m., in Meetinghouse Park.
There will be an information center for visitors and newcomers at Thoughtbridge, 1 Bridge St. New information will also be posted as it becomes available at:
Q. How long will the new state of affairs in Farmington last?
A. The abolition of death and other evils will last forever. But this will not be limited to Farmington. Some day the new dispensation will be worldwide. It is not known when that day will be.
Until that day, Farmington will be the only place changed.
Q. Won't Farmington become overcrowded and lose its small-town character that we love so much?
A. Farmington will never be overcrowded in the way that many cities are now crowded. The population will increase, but there is plenty of open space in Farmington to accommodate many more citizens. If more space is needed this will be accomplished by annexing another town to Farmington, though this will not be necessary for the next several years. Also, since people will live in harmony with one another, the problems that attend overcrowded places--crime, filth, etc., will never be problems in Farmington.
Q. What will happen if I leave Farmington? Will old diseases that I have been healed of here come back?
A. Nothing that has been healed in Farmington will come back. I.e., if you had cancer, and it goes away, that cancer will not return when you leave the town. But new diseases can start outside Farmington as has always been the case.
Q. What has caused this amazing change?
A. God has caused it by his own will.
Q. Why has Farmington been chosen?
A. We do not know.
