Last one I went to was in 1994. And that wasn't long enough ago. Never go to another one. Ever.
Incidentally - one or the servers (is that what they call the bros who pass around the bread n wine...?) at that last memorial I went to in a country cong in NSW was later exposed on national tv as a pedophile. Good one Jehovah! Thanks for having a pedophile serve us all the Lord's evening meal!
Watchtower god never shows up and does anything the Watchtower says He will, so I don't see any point in doing anything His Church says I should.
hell no, why waste my time sitting amog a bunch of conditional people. a flat waste of time and a joke
I haven't gone for the past 6 years and won't go this year. I'll never go back again. I left the faith once, I will never every step foot back into a kingdom hall.

I have no reason to go. I'm not going to nibble the doritos or sup the vinegar just to p1ss anyone off.
I have far better things to do with my time.
I would sooner gnaw my own leg off.
I DON’T want to go. It’s like no-way, no desire. I don’t want to see those people. I feel like if I were to go then I would become like those people who show up once a year (no offense to those who do) and I feel I would be saying I still believe and honor this Memorial arrangement enough to turn up. Not going sends a message to my former JW friends and family that I am really no longer a part of this. I am done. I don’t need ANY of it and I don’t miss anything of that life. Last year was my last one!
I have not brought it up to my “faithful witness” mother. If she needs a ride I will give her one, but I think that would really un-nerve her or upset her. So I don’t think she will say anything.
It's just my opinion, and if you feel you must continue going to the Memorial to appease family that doesn't shun you, I fully understand.
Otherwise, going to the Memorial tells some JW's that, deep down, you know they have the truth and want to come back.
If you partake, it sends the message that you are a smart-ass or mentally off- "He thinks he is one of the anointed."
If you protest outside to the likes of Rick Fearon, you feed their persecution complex- "We must have the truth because they protest us."
Not going can send the message that the religion is not for you, it is not disrespectful to not be there, it's just "not for you."
OTWO will not be attending. Nobody has bothered to invite me to the last 3 or 4 Memorials unless you count strangers getting their pioneer time in and leaving an invitation at the door, not knowing that a JW and her husband live here.
Gone awol and myself will not be attending either.
We got our family out 5 years ago so why would we put ourselves back in.
We are far to busy getting on with our lives and spending time with our lovely children!
Will you attend the Memorial this year?
Of course not.
Why?
Exactly.
Why not?
Because it's a pack of lies. Duh.
