Memorial conundrum - "So good to see you. Where have you been?" (page 2)

Attend at a hall where noone knows ya.

That's an option... Just avoid those that are looking around for "new meat" ready to pounce and get that bible study started. Always go in right as it starts and leave as soon as you hear the "Amen"...

You know what, babygirl? Hubby and I often attend a strange congregation and the interest quickly fades away if you tell them you are visiting from another congregation. If they can't count the time they aren't interested in you.

Get disfellowshipped, smell of cat fesces, wear tons of cheap cologne, OR

DON'T GO!!!!! I assume you're an adult... adults ARE NOT "forced" to do anything. It'll be a cold day in hell before someone "makes" me go anywhere. I got the invite the other day in my door, I didn't even read it, just ripped it up and threw it away. I don't want any of their damn garbage.

There truly are plusses to being disfellowshipped, the best is the following:

DUBS LEAVE YOU ALONE!!!!
You know who your TRUE friends are
You know who your TRUE family is

What have you been doing?

Reading lots of old comic books and eating jelly donuts. Boy, hasn't wheat gone up lately, do you think the bees will visit this year? Those bees there something else, I was reading about bees in an old Awake.... then walk off and tell the next group about bees, with a very distant look.

The next group "did we hear that the preaching work was ending and Bethel was closing its doors? Lots of layoffs, lots of layoff; do you think the bees will visit this year? Those bees..... " then walk off.

When anyone tries to engage me in "truth talk" at the memorial I quickly turn it into what I like to do. I will talk about hunting or fishing. I might mention the last vacation I took or a project that I was doing around the house. The elders hate to overhear this sort of talk. It is a sure sign that you are not taking them or the memorial seriously enough.

OMG, im gonna ahve to go through the same thing I guess- it's soo annoying. *sighs* Whatevahs. I'm gonna do the 'I've been busy/depressed/been prostituting my self to Satan" angle and hope they go away.

God, if i didn't like living @ home and eating my fam's food, and washign clothes for free... I swear! I'd be... somehwre else living off of some older guy who would support me and my 'art' and stuff!

I have been helping laid off Bethelites adjust to life on this side of the fence.
I have been all over the country. So many people, so little time.

I was appointed special assistant to the Watchtower Legal Defense fund in the Pedophile cases.
They told me that work was more important than meetings. I was going to hit you up for a
donation, what do ya say?

We started these special training sessions for all the new anointed, where have you been?

Ever since they cancelled their membership, the WT has had me assigned to the UN library
to make sure they have full access to all the information without losing their place in line.

Badges? I don't need to show you any stinking badges.

To answer "where you have been?" I would say Finland.
