Conflicted,
You know that the saying goes "Pride comes before a fall"
I notice in your post that you seem quite proud of your apostate ways.
But is this a false pride?
Do you really feel inside that all your deads are actually wrong and that instead you should go back to meetings and do more study?
In order to "fully acomplish our ministry" we must continue to work on the desires of the flesh.
This includes pride.
Yes our pride must overflow in us.
Others will see our pride and notice that we are different.
Such qualities will help others overcome the works of the spirit.
I really think that you do not brag about your accomplishments enought.
Even among you friends you are known as someone who likes to be modest and not to put others down.
This can only lead to disaster
Only when you put pride into action and exersise it fully will you experience a true fall.
I encourage you to work harder.
Let this be of a warning to others who may be hesitant about showing pride in their works

I knew it a witness is lurking here.
Think of it the name alliwannadoislive yeh alliwannadoisliveforeveronaparadiseearth.
You cant get rid of me that easily.
The fact that you have to try to doublethink shows that you still have the new personalty.
Remmember everyone please dont listen to non apostates. -

In light of our AO's visit I think we need to strive to do less. It is vital that everyones here puts the kingdom's work last. I see far too much studying among our people, and it has to stop! We must be careful to stumble our brothers and sisters and always uphold ouselves as bad associations. Take heed brothers and sisters, this is for your own good, or don't take heed, what do I care. I am secure in my standing - see, not only prideful, but boastful as well. The holidays are coming, make sure you eat and drink to excess, revel in unclean thought and deeds, and always forget to keep Jah first.
The AO is here, and he isn't watching - remember that!

Sleepy AO,
I would like to bring it to your attention that the only time I have been offered an Apostate shepherding call is when you are due for a visit, I would like to put my name in for the Apostate assist program.
I can only hope that you will place me with someone that can help me to learn to live my life that would be more constructive to the cause. I do hope that you will find someone that would be willing to work with me on this.
I will take your advise and wear shorter tighter skirts and also tighter fitting low cut sweaters. I am willing to prove that I will do my best so as not to be lagging. I know it is hard work and I just need some encouragement.
And I also know about all the ummmmmm undertable monetary donations that you receive from whining about all that you give up in life in order to help your fellow apostates. Let me just say to you that..You make me so proud.
if in doubt...brown nose your way out
