Don't hold back from Matthew 24:14

RT @Sacredsecret
A JW WORKING AT WENDYS
A sister worked at Wendy's as an assistant manager. One day as she was
working at the counter, a priest came in and she took his order. When
the order was ready she told him, "that will be $3.79 please, sir."

He said, "What?"

She repeated, "That will be $3.79 please, sir"

He said 'You're mistaken! It's Father.'

She told him, I'm sorry, my father is working today.'

He said "You're supposed to call me 'Father'."

She told him "The Bible says to call no man 'Father'."

He exclaimed, "These Jehovah's Witnesses are everywhere!" and left without
his order.

The next day he returned and asked for her. The manager informed her that a
priest was there to see her. She wondered what he wanted.

When she went out, he asked "Do you remember Me?"

"Yes, you forgot your order." She replied.

He said 'Never mind that. What I wanted was to know where the Bible
says to call no man Father.'

"You're asking me?!" the sister asked. She then showed him
Matthew 23:9 in the Bible he had brought.

He said, "I never knew that. Why do they call me Father?"

They talked a little while and she told him if he would come back, she
would give him a 'Knowledge' book.
He came back on a Wednesday and she gave him the book.
They talked a little while reading the book and having coffee.
Thursday he came back to return the book.

On Friday he came in about 2:30 p.m. and asked her "Guess who came to my
house this morning at 10:30?"
When she said she did not know, he told
her 'Jehovah's Witnesses.' He had thought she had sent them but she did
not know where he lived. They had just been going from house to house.
He told her 'I started a Bible Study.' He felt what they said made sense and
he had been thinking about the things she had been teaching which were
scriptural.
A few months went by and one day he came in to see her.
'What's new?' she asked.
'I got baptized a week ago. You can now call me brother.'
He was on his way back home to Italy after spending a year in Canada.
His family is now studying.

Don't hold back from Matthew 24:14. Enjoy a new day serving Jehovah.
