That 'Will this memorial be our last?' was very interesting. When my elder hubby looked at his KM, he said, 'wow.. that's loaded!' When I asked what he was reading, he told me. I was surprised, he usually wouldn't say something like that, it was almost as though the words were out of his mouth before he knew it.
Then my son said how he'd seen lots of other JWs commenting on it and making a great deal out of it. Both of them thought it was ridiculous and inflammatory. I'm just happy they can both see right through it!

tornapart: If those around them believe it and repeat it enough, they might come around.
The idea of the "meme," is that it morphs like a gene, and without conscious effort, a thought becomes "your" thought.
Have there ever been any other "loaded" or over-the-top idea, that they have adopted as their own?

4thgen, I hadn't known that Kinkade had passed away! What a shocker! The Wiki article is an eye-opener.
Just goes to show. I loved Tom Cruise until he fired his publicist and let us all see his "real" side.

Other WTS memes.
The clothes and the field service. Sets them apart. No-one else tortures themselves in service to Jehovah as they do.
