    It was very hard for me to stop attending the memorial, but I have not been in 7 yrs and this one makes 8. The first year I did not go I made unleavened bread and wine and celebrated it myself. After that first one, I got over it. It is just the same old sanctimonious bunch and I just can't deal with it anymore. They more or less assumed I was an apostate so I am not exactly on their "wanted" list.

    I recall a man who was not a JW, ate a cracker and drank some of the wine at our memorial a few years ago. You should have seen the audience, you could have heard a pin drop.I never saw that man again. Maybe the elders got rid of him. LOL

    I didn't realize that tonight was the Memorial. I didn't get any invite, but my neighbors got a door hanger yesterday.

    I feel like having a drink before I have to attend this evening. It helps me to relax. There will be the fragrance of alcohol i the air.

    I'll be going tonight too, at 7:30 EST. The wife asked me to go so I said yes. First time I'll be going to a meeting with our one-year old baby. Don't know anyone at the Hall, so that's good. Also kind of sad in a way... but I'm not sure if I'd rather have people there I know or don't know. It's been about 5 years that I've been fully inactive, so I've had a chance to play the "unbelieving husband" part, although it's always a little awkward. Usually I prefer JWs to think I've never been babtized, been a Bethelite, MS, etc., and just act pleasantly clueless.

    This is the second one I have missed but the first I have deliberately not attended.

    Wasn't invited either. Thought I might get a phone call or e-mail but nothing!

    Memorial ???? Good grief I haven't been to one of those since 1985

    I doubt it has changed much so I am certainly not missing anything.
