Just had JW come to the door to invite me to memorial (page 2)

Maybe some knock so lightly, hoping the householder won't hear so they won't have to talk to anyone. Maybe especially the young people who really don't like going but do because of the pressure from family or elders.

Thanks everyone for the advice and encouragement! I will work on remaining calm and clear-headed, and reading the experiences posted throughout JWN helps. For Wobble and all of you with family inside the WT, I can only imagine how hard it must be to express your different beliefs to loved ones. Especially since leaving the WT might seem like a personal rejection of them as well, making them even more defensive and adding to the emotion of the exchange.

I admire your strength.

You did just fine, Tammy Sue!*

I hope you don't mind my calling you that; I tend to give pet names to all for whom I have affection!

My baby girl is still in the JW's, so I have to proceed cautiously, also.

Outlaw, I call you Outlawyer behind your back! Tee hee hee. Sylvia Formatting is screwed!

Now, it's ok!

I don't know why I give special names to some posters.

I guess I just like to pick at them!

Good!

Thanks again, Tammy.

I'm so glad you didn't allow the WT to blot Jesus out of your life.

It almost happened to me; at one time I felt like Mary of Magdala: "They've taken my Lord away ...

I remember at the door once I made a point to the sweet lady that dared to knock - that the JWs seem so bent on not celebrating birthdays, and other so called pagan holidays and are proud that they can give gifts or make nice gestures every and any day of the year.

Yet they choose to celebrate the DEATH of jesus (as opposed to the resurrection- the reason for the death) - on one day of the year only.

19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me."

It doesn't say once a year, or every nisan 14, or on this specific day - every year from now on....

there are so many churches who do this "remembering" of the death & resurrection every day of every week, of every month, of every year, all over the world

the whole memorial rejection thing just seems so "anti.... " to me
