  Guilty!

  I still go but I miss chunks of meetings at a time. I am in the process of breaking away permanently. Like blondie, I still have a few loose ends to tie and I hope to be completely gone before the next District Convention in August.

  About 2 or 3 weeks ago, we had the visit of the CO. On the Theocratic School night, I stayed home but I listened in via telephone just in case there was some gems that I could post here. Anyway, while the school overseer was giving his part about the new TMS arrangement and how important it was to be enrolled and participating, I called his home number (using my cell phone), and removed myself from the school. I actually said this on his answer machine:

  "Hi, Jeff. I'm actually listening to your part about the new TMS arrangement. I wanted to ask you to remove me from the school at this time. I hope that you respect my wishes and not get into why I don't want to be enrolled. Thank you."

  I don't know the guy but I just wanted to bump your query to the top since it buried on page 4 after only 6 reads.

  Well, during the Super Bowl breaks, my favorite commercial was the Trident gum one with the 4 out of 5 dentists. You know, the one where the squirrel bit the guys "nuts" and he screamed, "NOOOOOOO...."

  w4/1/1988: Question From Readers: "If my nose begins to bleed, will Jehovah God punish me for inadvertantly swallowing some blood?" In summary, it says:

  "What shall one do in the event of a nose bleed? So as not to become bloodguilty, the person would need to first and foremost pray. Next, he should immediately cease swallowing. Yes, at all costs, repudiate the gushing blood. Continuing, he should firmly pinch the upper portion of his nose (sometimes referred to as 'the bridge'), using only his index finer and thumb. Then, while vomitting out the excessive blood, he is encouraged to run to the kitchen and find the jar of pepper. He should then take two huge whiffs of the pepper and then wait on Jehovah to produce a sneeze. Sneezing will force the blood out of your nose and away from your throat. Do not thank anyone if they should happen to say, "God bless you" for sneezing. When the time is right, you can show them using the Bible why we don't thank people for blessing us when we sneeze."

  In all seriousness, I couldn't find any reference to your question. I searched the 1999 WT CD-ROM.

  RubaDub-

  I think that the WTS would like their money sooner rather than later. Perhaps they are really saying: "If it's gonna get sent to us slowly then you might as well drop a check into contribution box at your local hall."

  Aztec-

  What's nice about my area is that you are an hour and a half from New York City and two and a half hours from DC. You can travel to the Jersey Shore, or gamble in Atlantic City, or drive to the Delaware beaches, or visit the harbor and aquarium in Baltimore. You're near several major shopping malls. There are major amusement parks nearby (Six Flags Great Adventure, Hershey Park, Dorney Park, and Sesame Place). Plus, authentic cheesesteaks and soft pretzels.
