I have passed on going to funerals like so many others who escaped the religion and its control. I found the memorial talks had little to no spiritual value, and seldom related anything meaningful about the deceased. Most of all though, I came to realize that the toxicity of many in the crowd was just not worth the stroll down memory lane. I left and I am NOT going back. I have gotten "out of her" (Babylon the Great) and I just cannot venture back inside her walls.
AND - I am happy now. I want to stay that way.
Yes, the congregation think you are strange - but you know they are strange!
Last memorial i went to actually had applause at the end. TACKY
