  More than 5,600 homes of fellow believers and 90 Kingdom Halls damaged.Robert one of the volunteers has this to say:"Jehovah takes good care of his people".Also he gave up his job of over 40 years,to clean offices.You would think that after 40 years he would not have to work.

  Gregory: Saw the light and sold his house and bought a pickup truck and trailer.Nice move with the price of Gas.A truck is handy for the Field Ministry.(Farmers make good use of pickup trucks).

  Wendell:"The day after Katrina struck.Now,however,we have seen God's care on a much larger scale."

  Just your typical/ antitypical JW talk.

  Buying a trailer and a pick might not be a bad idea if you live in an area that gets hit all the time with flooding , instead of rebuilding a home all the time you simply drive away and come back to your land whenever it clears up . It doesn't say what the first guy was doing before he quit so maybe a government job or union . Sounds like Wendell was talking about the WTBTS relief that was sent to new orleans . don't have the augus issue yet , but not finding that stuff worthy of throwing insults at.
