steve2 proudly claimed, "The first step in becoming an XJW (and getting your life back) is baptism. I like that Nathan quotes me..."
Steve2, you have said things I agree with, and things I do not agree with. I can't agree with the conclusioon you have leapt to here.
I was unaware that I was "quoting you." I myself have used the phrase many times, and I don't recall ever thinking to myself, "I'm going to steal that phrase..."
I've been here 4 years longer than you. When you use the word "THE" are you quoting me?
Want to engage in a contest for the dated easter-egg?

Tiger numbers in the wild have risen slightly
by Xanthippe inin 1900 there were 100,000 tigers in the wild.
a hundred or so years later there were only 3,200 due to habitat destruction and poaching for traditional medicine.
for the first time in a hundred years the numbers have risen.. .

Any other teenagers on here?
by BlackWolf ini'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?

There aren't many teens on here because we're a bunch a' creepy old people.

Excellent, congratulations! The first step in becoming an XJW (and getting your life back) is baptism.
Let's hope her future is one of self-realization, fulfillment, achievement & joy.

WHO was William Ellison? (from wikipedia)
William Ellison Jr, born April Ellison, (c. April, 1790 – 5 December 1861) was a cotton gin maker and blacksmith in South Carolina, a free negro and former slave who achieved considerable success in business before the American Civil War. He eventually became a major planter and one of the medium property owners, and certainly the wealthiest "black" property owner, in the state. He held 40 slaves at his death and more than 1,000 acres (400 ha) of land. From 1830-1865 he and his sons were the only free blacks in Sumter County, South Carolina to own slaves. The county was largely devoted to cotton plantations and the majority population were slaves.
Ellison and his sons were among a number of successful free people of color in the antebellum years, but Ellison was particularly outstanding. His master (and likely father) had passed on social capital by apprenticing him to learn a valuable artisan trade as a cotton gin maker, at which Ellison made a success. He took a wife at the age of 21. After buying his own freedom when he was 26, a few years later Ellison purchased his wife and their children, to protect them from sales as slaves.
