I was thinking that we could spend the Memorial evening doing the exact opposite of what we used to do.
Drink a large glass of red wine rather than watch it sailing by. Talk to someone who really cares about you. Invite some people around to eat your favourite meal. Greater love hath no woman than this, than to lay fork and knife on behalf of her friends.
I guess it would be good after sundown on Friday, April 3, 2015 to at least reflect for a moment how ridiculous the JW celebration of the Memorial is, where they pass the emblems by all the non-anointed (normal) people, who are not supposed to partake at all. Looking at it from the outside, I can see that this exercise in futility is really just a psychological tactic by the WT to reinforce the lowly position of all the non-anointed in their pecking order. We should be glad that we don’t have to be held captive to that dull charade. (And for those of us like myself who still get dragged to that fun-filled event every year, at least we know that we don’t have to take it seriously, at least in our own mind.) That evening should really be a time to appreciate the true freedom we have by learning TTATT. That evening, just do something nice for someone else and for yourself. Just celebrate life itself. That’s what it’s for.
