Find and read the Letter to Bodies of Elders re: Pornography.
Figure out exactly what kind, how often and whether or not you masturbated to it. Be careful! If you pick stuff that the WT deems too "debased" you may end up Disfellowshipped. Anyway, if you admit to just the right blend of porn and wanking, they will have no choice but to remove you immediately.
Just a thought.

this does give me that relief of finances coming in, of course i'll be keeping my ears and eyes open for better opportunities, but that being said i shall embrace this new opportunity with open arms and eagerness.. it's been a hellofa tough year people - hellofa tough.

Sweet! If I'm not mistaken, the "United States" numbers include all non-English congregations within the U.S. as well.
I'd love to see what the English-only stats are.

The January 1st Watchtower Admits That JWs Have Been Wrong As To Their Expectations Of The End!...but
by minimus inthey excuse it by saying, it's ok since at least they were on the watch.. i believe they should think about god's view of watchmen who constantly gave false pronouncements.
they would be judged accordingly by god!.

"Jehovah's Witnesses have had wrong expectations about when the end would come."
Not a huge point, but notice they don't say the Faithful & Discreet Slave or the Governing Body got it wrong. Jehovah's Witnesses got it wrong. That could include individual JWs with their own unofficial timetables.
Again, not a huge point, but it does have a subtle effect on the meaning of the sentence.

I'll never forget attending a meeting shortly after my wife awakened a few years ago. Due to JW guilt programming she felt compelled to at least "answer up" (as the Brits & Aussies say) at least once. The easy way out is to read a scripture. She raised her hand to read Romans 2:15 about non-Jews still being influenced by their conscience.
"They are the very ones who demonstrate the matter of the law to be written in their hearts, while their conscience is bearing witness with them and, between their own thoughts, they are being accused or even excused."
My wife must have felt like Saphira and that Jehovah's Holy Spirit was peering into her wicked heart the whole time. Her voice started tightening up half-way through the verse and quite a few people wondered what was wrong with Ms. OM.
That's the last public comment my wife ever gave at a KH.

Always wonderful to read your latest creation CoCo.
Many, many times I have felt that these lyrics could just as easily have been meant for you:
But I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you.Keep on writing, we'll keep on reading.
If the pain is ever too much, please send me (us) a PM or e-mail.
You are VERY much appreciated.
