i do understand not being sure and also not wanting to make waves because of the kids and the exes finding something else to use against you guys. so if you do decide to go be strong get in and out quickly go home and have a stiff drink, and we'll all be here for you guys. those of us that do will pray for you(i will)
Are You Going To the Memorial?

I think you should go this year. For the simple reason that you don't need the guilt right now - real or imagined guilt.
Next year, you can decide again, but I guarantee you will be in a different place in your life next year.

I will NEVER go to another JW meeting in my life - especially the memorial!
Ask yourself:
* If you believe in Jesus then 'NO' because it is the most disrespectful evening of the year for Christians, when the JWs reject Jesus and pretty much just try and convince you that you shouldn't partake using scriptures taken out of context.
* If you're a JW and believe Jesus returned in 1914, again 'NO' because Jesus said to keep doing this until he returned.
* If you don't believe in Jesus then why the heck go anyway?
So to sum up: "There is NO reason for any human to go to the 'Jesus Reject Party' held by your local JW cult!

I'm blocked out after the 5th reply. But I would never go to the "memorial" ever again. Or as some call it "The Ignore Jesus Christ Party." If you never go to any other meetings, why go and stir up "hope" in your family and start the aggravation.

no why would I go to a service that is pointless and meaningless. This religion has no bible basis for the method they follow and less credibility.
