Not a problem.... there is plenty of proof in the bible.

Dont ask who wrote it.

The time I wasted with that JW chap... but in his defence he never gave up and was never put off.

When I moved to the bush, and remember I am on 200 acres surrounded by state forest the first visitors, some 18 months after moving there, were you must have guessed JWs.
Four old dears all well over eighty seekinh out poor souls to save.

And they turned up another four years later not looking any older.

This is a thread that could go on forever, here are some of my favourite quotes.

He that remains calm when all around are panicking hasn't got all the information.

Light travels faster than sound. That is why some people look bright, until you hear them speak!

Ki 18:27 And it came about at noon that E·liʹjah began to mock them and say: “Call at the top of YOUR voice, for he is a god; for he must be concerned with a matter, and he has excrement and has to go to the privy. Or maybe he is asleep and ought to wake up!”
