Yep, it's a Kia Soul. Mine is the Searcher variant. It's top of the range with a full leather interior and all the bells and whistles. Plus the extra large wheels and roof rails. It seems very nippy.

National Insurance Contribution UK
by MrHappy ini just discovered that i have gaps in my national insurance contributions for the years i spent in bethel!
i remember signing a vow of poverty and a tax document declaring my volunteer missionary status but i don't remember them ever telling me that i would have to pay my own ni contributions out of my allowance.
i am wondering about all those who have been asked to leave bethel in the last year and who are behind on their contributions.

Stan's right. You need 35 years worth. If you have less, then you may be able to claim pension credit on retirement which will top up your pension to around £235 per week assuming you are claiming as a couple.

Lots Of Whining And Complaining About Us JW's
by Deaconblues1914 inin reading these posts, it sounds like a lot of you are very jealous of the wt.
society’s annual income and the money they/we have in the bank.
jehovah has indeed blessed us.

Deaconblues1914 spluttered:
An x-elder. Disillusioned because you were probably booted off the body for being an opinionated bully who couldn't have his way. Or were you really demoted? Or disfellowshipped doubtfull? Or is it just the end hasn't come soon enough for you? Or are you looking for perfection among men where it doesn't exist. So now you give up and quit. Huh?
Over the years - and I've seen a few! - I've come across any number of Deaconblues. He /she is one of the militant variety of JW who really gets off on provocation. Not just provocation of ex-JW's, but provocation for its own sake.
The trouble for him / her is that there is no outlet for the inner hostility that runs rampant through his / her emotions. He / she can't have a crack at existing JW's because he / she would be out on his ear via a JC very quickly indeed.
He / she can't have a crack at non- JW's because that would "bring reproach" on Jehovah's name.
So what happens? Deaconblues has figured that it's OK to have a crack at ex's. Ex's won't be stumbled, ex's won't report him / her to a JC. He / she figures that ex's are fair game, cannon fodder for his / her insults and provocation. Easy prey for his / her self-righteous posturing.
Basically Deaconblues is just a coward. A coward who gets off on his / her own verbosity.

Public speaking. I really got off on it. I think I'm a frustrated actor. I got an incredible buzz standing in front of 100 or so people and being able to hold them entranced with just a simple pause or a slight vocal inflection. I gave my first public talk at 17. It's so weird, I'll feel shy in one to one conversation yet able to perform in front of an audience. Even now in my advanced years I'm still asked to perform best man duties. I just love it. My audiences do too. Maybe I'm just an attention seeking egotist...

Some folk just have a sensitive nervous system without there being any causative factor.

Circuit Assemblies in the "Good Old Days"
by BluesBrother injust been reminiscing about how c/a's have changed since we were young.
i remember when they started friday night in some rented hall , as well as the two weekend days.
saturday morning was a brief session then field ministry (which only a few performed ) and sunday sessions.. in the free time around the venue we just used to hang out socialising and eyeing up the girls.

Ha ha! John Blaney - larger than life!
He'd set us kids a task, such as discovering who was the second oldest man in the Bible, then he'd write us each a "Diploma" for getting it right.
A real character.
