  2. friends

  i hope slim hasn't left the forum, ( again) but i noticed his last post was post 10,ooo which is quite an achievement and a great statistic to say " au revoir" on.

  ( yes i studied compulsory french at school, but " au revoir" is all i can remember so i may as well use it) .

  anyway now for the " slimboyfat" challenge, can anybody here name past or present posters that have made over 10,000 posts?

  No, and thankfully not in my case. I would be insulted if I was labelled a "lost sheep" in the first place! Awake - yes, lost - not at all!!!

  yesterday my wife and i enjoyed one of our regular days out at edinburgh - movie, lunch, walk, meal etc.. in the late afternoon while mrs cofty went shopping i had an hour at the excellent museum of scotland and arranged to meet up outside the national gallery on princes street.

  on my way back i saw the jw trolley was at the usual spot on the royal mile.

  there was an older man and a young woman standing well back trying hard to look inconspicuous.

  i'm 16 and it seems like most the people on this forum are adults.

  i would think since most teenagers have tablets/smartphones there would be more on here but maybe not?

  it would be nice to meet some other young people.

  dear sisters,.

  when you are fortunate enough to be in the presence of a jw penis you must take care to show the proper respect for it!

  doesn't matter if said penis is prepubescent!

  Yes... the irony here is that JW's claim to follow Matt 7:12, but usually FAIL to do so in the most basic of ways! Take a closer look at their actions & it would be obvious that they do not practise what they preach!

  All things . . . that you want men to do to you, you also must do to them (but we protect pedophiles).—Matt. 7:12.

  
  

  What are some ways in which we follow the Golden Rule in our ministry? We treat each householder as an individual (who would die at Armageddon if they do not listen to our message). We show respect for the householder’s home and other property (especially those homes we would like to have for ourselves if they are destroyed at Armageddon). We endeavor to participate in the ministry at times when householders are most likely to be at home and receptive (or if they are not at home & not receptive by means of our literature carts!). And we introduce our message in a way that is well-received in the local territory (a disguised version of "Listen to us or you would die at Armageddon!"). Many benefits come from treating those in our territory as we would like to be treated (we don't like strangers knocking on our doors & pushing their beliefs on us, by the way). By acting in a kind and considerate manner, we are letting our light shine, are underscoring the value of Scriptural principles, and are giving glory to our heavenly Father (who guides us by means of 7 old men at New York). (Matt. 5:16) We may attract more people to the truth by the way we approach them (as evidenced by the phenomenal increase in our yearbook's publisher statistics this year!). (1 Tim. 4:16) Whether those to whom we preach accept the Kingdom message or not, we have the satisfaction of knowing that we are doing our best to accomplish our ministry (we will have the satisfaction of seeing all you worldly people perish at Armageddon!).—2 Tim. 4:5. w14 5/15 2:17, 18

  There! Fixed it!!!
