Yes, but to complete the loophole, all you have to do is masturbate quickly. Lol.

New Loophole Created: You can cheat on your spouse without him/her being able to divorce you
by ILoveTTATT2 inthe new "pillowgate" video exposed a loophole in the witnesses´s thinking, showing how dangerous and stupid legalism is.. this loophole is sure to destroy many people´s lives.. 1) they said that two men masturbating at the same time in front of each other does not constitute "porneia".. 2) "porneia" is the only biblical reason for divorce.. 3) from 1) we can also get two women masturbating in front of each other, or a man and a woman masturbating in front of each other, does not constitute "porneia".4) most people would consider masturbating at the same time with another person to be cheating, and a logical reason for divorce.. so this will lead to many witnesses going to the elders and being told that they cannot divorce this person who clearly cheated on them.
then, if this person (the "innocent mate") divorces and marries someone else, then that person would be the one possibly disfellowshipped!the implications of the loophole are so stupid and so damaging!i predict another flip-flop.
"considering things more closely, this is "porneia"... or doubling down on it ("sorry but that is what the biblical limits are") or just fading away into those things that only 1% of jw´s know it´s a rule....

This loophole is sure to destroy many people´s lives.
1) They said that two men masturbating at the same time in front of each other does NOT constitute "porneia".
2) "porneia" is the only Biblical reason for divorce.
3) From 1) we can also get two women masturbating in front of each other, or a man and a woman masturbating in front of each other, does NOT constitute "porneia".
4) Most people would consider masturbating at the same time with another person to be cheating, and a logical reason for divorce.So this will lead to many witnesses going to the elders and being told that they cannot divorce this person who clearly cheated on them. Then, if this person (the "innocent mate") divorces and marries someone else, then THAT person would be the one possibly disfellowshipped!

How much paper has the WT used to print its publications?
by ILoveTTATT2 inso... i am doing a crazy stat: how many pieces of paper has the wt ever published?.
i don't have the answer yet, but.... i do have the approximate answer for the awake!
and the watchtower magazines.... get ready... it's a whopping 1.1 trillion pages!.

Notice how the number of pages and prints per issue went down after 1975? But the downturn is nowhere near what it is now!
I´ll say it again, the internet has been worse for the WT than 1975!
About the ink and fuel, I believe that could also be estimated.

Very powerful graph, showing how bad the WT is doing. Their current number of pages statistic is as it was in the 1960's!!

Get ready... it's a whopping 1.1 TRILLION pages!
To make sense of this number,
It is 1/12 of all of the paper the entire United States uses in a year!
(see http://www.theworldcounts.com/stories/Paper-Waste-Facts)
It is about 9 times what it would take to PRINT OUT THE ENTIRE INTERNET!
(http://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-paper-would-it-take-to-print-the-internet-2015-4)As a very conservative estimate, 1100 square km of forest were cut down to print this! Imagine a forest the size of San Antonio, Texas, being cut down JUST FOR THE AWAKE AND WATCHTOWER magazines!!
Their peak publishing numbers were 28.5 billion pages just for the Watchtower in 2008, and 17.5 billion pages just for the Awake in 2005.
I noticed that every time they reduce something in the magazines (like, number of issues or number of pages per issue), the printing per issue has gone up, almost to the point of cancelling the reduction!
I will post the stats I have gathered when I finish this project. -

Sorry everyone, I wanted to post all 25 graphs at once but I couldn´t so I posted them 5 at a time. Here is my analysis:
Here are detailed statistics that include data from 2017.These are the highlights from an exJW viewpoint:
Memorial attendance barely inched upwards. If we see the trend, it’s flatlining.
The increase, percentage-wise, of the max amount of publishers, is anemic.
The increase in the number of congregations, percentage-wise, was a historic low of 0.5%, worse even than after 1975.
The percentage of studies getting baptized continues its historically low run of less than 3%.
The amount of hours per baptism continues being historically high, over 7000 hours are required to get someone to baptism.
The amount of hours per person retained, however, is a historical record high of over 17,000 hours.
The amount of baptisms as a percentage of the average publishers… also historically low.
The gap between the number of witnesses that would exist if they had continued with their growth rates in the 80’s and what they have now grew even more! If it wasn’t for the internet and other factors, they would be 16 million!
The percentage of increase of the average publishers is among the 5 lowest since they started registering that! Removing the years from 1975 to 1979, 2017 was the second lowest number ever at 1.4%!
Despite it being ridiculously easy to be an auxiliary pioneer nowadays with the carts, that number went down compared to 2016.
In other words, almost all statistic shows that the Watchtower is suffering from a slow painful death!
