I remember getting hammered about this too. I went thru a period where I was doing 6-10 hours/month and did not turn any time in because I was embarrased. I thought: if we are in end times, why am I only spending 6 hours in the 'life-saving' ministry? After I was counseled about this, I just started making stuff up but it was all good. The report was the only thing that mattered.

Dmitry,
Wouldn't it be better to find some sane diplomats that can actually negotiate and compromise for everyone's benefit? Now it seems we only have 'my way or the highway' types. Too much short term thinking for monetary gain resulting in long-term loss for the rest of us.
Didn't citizens of Crimea vote to return to Russia overwhelmingly (as it was always part of Russia). Who gave Crimea to Ukraine as a gift in what year?

@Cofty: the Us liberals apparently had some idea that the Russians unduly influenced the election in 2016. CNN, MSNBC, etc have been non-stop Russia/Russia/Russia. If you agree that that was a problem, can I ask if interference by Israel is OK? Have you studied US history since the end of WWII? Starting with the Dulles brothers, it was all downhill after that unless you were part of the club.
Can you please point to a country that is not run by criminals in one form or another? I ask, because I would like to move there. Gov't IMHO should just provide basic services and not try to enforce some idiotic ideology on its citizens (assuming they have citizens and not just consumers).
I'm not for or against any 'ism'.

Cofty,
What is wrong with trying to establish better terms with Russia? Please don't tell me you are on the #RussiaRussiaRussia team. IMHO the US and the UK have the most sclerotic leadership in the entire world. They are both simply living in a world that doesn't exit anymore.

Please get real. Russia has no need to invade Ukraine. they will implode on their own. Just like the US. Why would they even want to? If they wanted to, Russia would be on the Polish border in less than 1 week. Is the US going to start WWIII over Ukraine? Not likely. NATO doesn't even enter the equation.
On the other hand, I think a comedian would be a good leader. They can ask the difficult questions that 'serious' candidates can't. I'm hoping for cooler heads (as I live in Poland). I don't appreciate Poland sucking up to the US. It just paints a target on us.
I think it makes more sense for regional powers to find some way to cooperate (ok, I can dream , right?). I understand the historical animosity between countries like Germany, Poland and Russia - but these are your most likely trading partners. Find a way to make it work. If Germany can work with Russia, Poland should just get over it and do the same. I think they want to, we just have to get rid of current gov't (Kaczynski).

“Do You Know the Time?” From WT Sept 2018
by skin inthere is a one page article in the current wt study mag, sept 2018 pg 22 with the title “do you know the time?”.
in that article it describes a number of different ways you can say the time is 1:30. it goes on to say “there are even places where that same time could be expressed as “half two,” meaning 30 minutes before two”.
what i would like to know is this, where in the world does “half 2” mean 1:30?

Similar in Polish.
poł do czwartej (half to 4 or 3:30)
