    Well I attended the Memorial a few days ago and it always amazes me

    that on this night that the JW's forget how to park their cars in the parking

    lot. I pull in with my wife and there are 5 brothers giving directions on where

    and how to park my car. For God's sake the parking spaces are marked and

    the cars are parked no differently than the other 364 days of the year.

    I walk inside and you can tell which JW's have Bible students there because

    they have the biggest smiles and wear these individuals like badges of

    honor. Then there is the rag tag visitors in blue jeans and tea shirts. I

    keep thinking what in God's green earth would make these people want to

    come to the KH one night out of the year?

    Of couse there was the love bombing that you only get until you get

    baptized. I could tell that those who were getting bombed enjoyed the

    attention. The talk was the same this year as last year. "We are here

    to observe the Memorial of Christ death but you will not be partaking of

    the emblems." Jesus said to keep doing this in rememberance of me. All

    that heard his works drank the wine and eat the bread, however not one

    partook of the emblems at our hall. If we are to keep doing this than why

    are we not doing what Jesus said to do?

    I am glad that another year has passed and I just can't wait for next

    years Memorial.

    I never could figure out why it takes 5 people to direct people where to park their cars. And they are not in agreement. It would be bad enough if everyone wanted you in the same space. But, when you get one person telling you to park in one spot, and someone else nearby directs you in another, it gets ugly. You go left, someone yells at you for disregarding their instruction to go right. Correct that, and the other idiot gets you in trouble for not going left. You, not the idiots that are supposed to direct traffic, are the one that is going to get it--for not following the instructions. Walking disorderly is likely here, though they are not beyond calling such an issue "loose conduct".

    And for what? You go in, listen to a boring 45 minute talk, pass a plate of stale crackers and a glass of spoiled grape juice, and get hounded to join the religion after. This is not the sort of thing that makes me want to go at all.
