Oh! Owe!
It's only a matter of time before Brother Hounder is going to catch you. At which point, he will make you put the stuff away during the boasting session. Likewise, they will also make sure you have the "correct" materials (including a Not Well Translated Version of the Unholy Scriptures, not a trick Bible). Eventually, they will keep an eye on you to make sure you are not texting or watching porn during the boasting session. I bet there will be a Local Needs part on it if you keep going and doing that.
After a while, you will be hounded to go back out in field circus--at which point, they will drive you to drink. I would quit going to the boasting sessions now, while you still can--they may in fact be setting you up to think it isn't that bad, only to clamp down eventually.
Remember, each time you go to a boasting session, you are playing Press Your Luck. There is no prize to win there, and there are all too many whammies. Keep going, and it's only a matter of time before you land on a whammy.
