There A Proverb That Says.a Wise Person Will Listen And Take In More Instruction.—Prov. 1:5.

[goodlife]

It is noticed in conversations today that many people are not good listeners,they want to do most of the talking.

When it is time for listening and they persist in talking, they deprive themselves of what may be important instruction.

Yes since the Bible rule is: Have you beheld a man hasty with his words? There is more hope for someone stupid than for him —Prov. 29:20.

Well, of course when anonymous jehovah witnesses rewrite the bible any sentence can mean whatever they wish, it doesn't mean it's true.

[goodlife]

No,Jehovah's witnesses only want to be Happy, and that what make us happy people, all a round the world. (Matthew 5:5-11)

[jomifl]

gl, I can read aloud too....I'm so happy :0)

It is good for girl to meet boy in park, but better for boy to park meat in girl.

Sorry about the Daily Mail dig jom, I just seemed to have a flash of divinely inspired humour. The divine inspiration was the reason why it wasn't so funny as your original Daily Mail sarcasm aimed at GL's bible. In fact my comment wasn't really funny as divine inspiration puts a dampener on everything. Ever met a humorous JW?
Hey, hold it, I'm an atheist! Divine inspiration.............hmmmm.
Kind regards,

GL,
"Jehovah's witnesses only want to be happy". That's hedonism.
Dont you suffer to help the poor, the old and the ill?

No, they don't. They only care about the dead.

[solvitquick]

redman41,
The old jokes are the worst and yours is the pits and irrelevant.
Shame on you.
SIQ.

[redman41]

/They only care about the dead. /
They don't get any complaints..

Wise person & goodlife is definitely an oxymoron, I'm surprised the bible has mentioned that.

[Graham-W]

Proverbs 17:28
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

We have a similar saying in Yorkshire.
[i] "If tha 'as nowt ter say, say nowt" [i]

[DTCwordfan]

oops, 'hasn't mentioned that'.......

Us northern tribes, even from the wrong side of the Pennines, seem to have a pretty accurate and incisive philosophy on life.

[solvitquick]

Graham-W,
So true Graham!
Sorry for you being on the wrong side of the pennines but someone has to live in Yorkshire :).
Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, and Sheffield alongside Birmingham etc made Great Britain great. A lot was due to our north of Watford "nouse".
That's me done for on our great tribes.
With Very Best Wishes,
SIQ.

According to Moffatt’s version these verses read: “Never answer a fool according to his folly, lest you become like him: answer a fool according to his folly, lest he imagines he is wise.”

[solvitquick]

GL,
To whom are you directing your quote and what the *** does it mean? In other words what are you trying to say, in plain modern English if you are capable of speaking for yourself?
SIQ.
