    Well, they officially announced me no longer being a MS last night.
    You know how when a televised trial ends with the verdict coming back
    from the jury and all the cameras are on the accused? That's what it
    felt like. (the elders didn't even give me the heads up that they got
    the letter back from the GB)

    I decided I wasn't going to stick around for the after-awkwardness, so
    I skipped out early. Oh, and I got assigned a #4 talk: "Why confessing
    to a priest is unscriptural"

    Congratulations. I missed why all that happened, but nevertheless, you are climbing down the ladder instead of making your way up it.

    Funny how that shame tactic works for those with weak minds. Glad you are stong minded enough to do what it takes.

    Freedom is priceless. You are on your way.

    All the best.

    PS--- Most elders are too stupid to realize what they're doing. Don't take it personally.

    Inkling,

    I am so sorry! I'll bet you'll really miss having all those extra assignments and privileges!!

    Oh, and I got assigned a #4 talk: "Why confessing to a priest is unscriptural" .

    Oh the irony! What are you gonig to do with that assignment?

    Why confessing to a priest is unscriptural: "Because priests are Catholic, and their religion belongs to Satan's system. You're only supposed to confess to elders appointed by the faithful and discreet slave."

    Well, this calls for a celebration. Make sure you invite all the elders and the C.O.. Ha Ha.

    #4 talk: "Why confessing
    to a priest is unscriptural"

    I don't get it. Why would that be unscriptural, anyway. All the JW's have to say is to confess
    to 2 elders, but isn't that really the same thing? You will have to let us know if you skipped out
    on that talk or how it went.

    #4 talk on "Why confessing
    to a priest is unscriptural"

    You might want to discuss the 3 to 5 year rule for elders who commit serious sins, keep their mouths shut, and then come forward but don't have to sit in front of a Kangaroo Court.

    Make sure you emphasize how vital these "gifts in men" are to the Org, and that Jehovah blesses this fine "arrangement" for one-time philandering elders to not have to go through the same humiliating procedure that the unwashed, less-important R&F do.
