So with the memorial a mere 3 days away I was not heard a word from her about it?
Each year I am told at what time it will be at the local congregation and some years she has even got one of the local witnesses to contact me to invite me (they even offered to fetch me once!).
I am assuming that she has decided not to bring up the subject after the talk we had a few weeks ago, but this must be eating away at her big time!
Maybe it's just a case of her realising that atm you are not interested, there is a point where you just have to accept were people are at and so this is a good time to keep bonds strong and loving.
lol you almost sound piqued that she hasn't tried this year.

Same here. First time this year that I haven't heard anything. Sometimes I think she's coming to her senses; that she is aware that all is not well in JW land. But then she ends the phone conversation telling me 'how close' we are to the end... "Just look at the world's financial situation! There's so much happening in the world right now, we're so close!" She just says that, and doesn't actually ask if I believe it or not, or tell me to 'come back' or anything. I think she believes - against the official JW doctrine - that I'll be OK through Armageddon even if I'm not in it anymore. I think it's like that with a lot of Witnesses these days; they "round off" the sharp edges of the WT teachings to suit what they believe is more likely. Not out loud of course, but in their own minds.
LOL at Reniaa - no I am not piqued - just suprised more like...
You know when things are the same for 10 years and suddenly the rules change and now I am a bit unsettled! My mom and I had a huge discussion about things (I started a thread about it) and I really upset her. Mind you, the fact that I now know her love for me is conditional upset me a bit too...
Anyways, I know I rattled her cage and I am still figuring out how our relationship will continue from here. I really dont think that my mom has any doubts about the truth of truth if you know what I mean, so I think that she is obviously just refraining from mentioning it just to avoid the subject again.
I think that you might be reaching a point where you're both assessing what you're getting out of the relationship; since you're not part of the most important thing to her, and she's not interested in being around you because of it. A relationship can't be very deep when there is this massive incompatibility. That takes a while to get used to.
Hi Boo
Same here both my parents and my in laws have not contacted us to tell us when the memorial is. I'd rather be left alone I'm very happy that they are finally getting the message.
My parents have yet to bring up the issue either.
