Right. Well, if your sister has an alternative way of getting your mom there, then great. But regardless, isn't everyone welcome at all meetings of Jehovah's Witnesses? If so, then why does appearance matter here? This seems to go against even the rules of the organization. I know they are more about appearances than anyone, but that just isn't an issue here. Be there for your mom, don't worry about anything else.

Only the JW's give a rat's arse about how things "appear".
**sigh**

wow. I wonder how this type of attitude starts.
The Bible plainly states that he that doesn't provide for his own family is worse than a man without faith-- 1 Tim. 5:8
The honoring your father and mother is the FIRST COMMAND with a promise - Eph. 5
Is it that easy for some to completely ignore the Word of God?

This is an arrangement between you and your parents and no one else. If your mother says she would prefer to go with someone else then that is her decision to make. I always felt memorial night was a family time and I am sure your mum does too. Your sister is jealous that you have the freedom of being out of the organisation and you still have a relationship with your mum.

Your sister is jealous because you are doing everything she knows that SHE should be doing. You are a good daughter

How in the world could that look bad? JW's should be happy that a "lost sheep" is attending the memorial with their parents.
