community service.
the department's staff provided services to the community in diverse ways during the year under review.
I wonder if they are being paid to visit prisons in other countries as well?

i'm looking to see what the 1985 version of the kit says at matthew 27:52-53. i'm looking for the word-for-word greek/english part.
i have a 1969 kit, so i just need to compare to see if there's been any changes between the two.

This article is a hoot, especially # 10!
a young, progressive, kind elder wants to have a chat with me on sunday after the meeting.
we've talked before and been quite open about the judgemental attitudes 'we' have as witnesses, and he was completely in agreement, stating that he's never understood the beard thing among other issues, and wants to see the society moving forward by change..
i've no doubt he just wants to encourage me to up my hours or reach out again, but it's nerve wracking, as i know i'll say something i'll regret.
Record it?

how can i love people that dont really know me?
how can i love people i dont really know?.
thats not love.
Great post Noontide. I can totally relate to how you are feeling. I am getting sick and tired of trying to find my 'real' mum, the person she should be. I cant even remember the last time she hugged me. Even if she did, it would feel so very awkward. I can say I dont love mine either. Wow.
ignoring the fact that all but the super jw's had a random stab at hours done in the ministry, with all the different activities the society said counted as ministry hours, just how accurate is there annual report?.
what activities do you know of that were allowed to be counted as ministry time?
here are some i knew of.... .
In our congo you counted time if you went on service with an unbaptized person. Time on the min, and then time 'encouraging' the non dunked. Twas easy time!
if you were a lady and you were 55 and had $5,000 or less to spend on a used car, what would buy?
top concerns: good mpg; reliable; in not having major issues like ball joints breaking, timing belts breaking, etc.
not too expensive to maintain.
Take a mechanic who knows his stuff. Cars that were contract hire or leased to companies can have higher mileage but have been looked after mechanically as they need to stay on the road to earn the money.
We always buy our fleet vans at 3 years old and ex lease. Full service history is more important than mileage. Ask to see all reciepts and history of work done. If there isnt any, walk. We also get more money back at trade in with service history.
Stay away from the low mileage shopping cart as these will be bunged up with carbon and crud. My F in law just bought a low miles Ford from an old lady, he's just needed to spend £1100 on a new turbo and injection manifold. The car was 4 years old. fwiw!
