That reminds me, I gotta go shopping for an outfit! And also need to make plans with other spiritually weaklings as to where it is we're all going for dinner afterwards.

Have a big meal and a few drinks before you go. Then you can sleep through the talk.

At the memorial mums the word, dont care about it, its about as spiritual as nose picking, something a lot of older ones do when they don't think anyone is looking. i would rather pass at home thanks.

I know. That same old talk is soooooooooooo boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There's one annual gathering that I won't miss. I'll miss the annual 'afterwards dinner' with other spiritually weaklings, but not the meeting at all.

The 24th is a Thursday night. You know what that means. . . . an extra meeting that week. YAY!!! Thursday's nights meeting will be held on a different day that week. So glad I don't have to worry about that any longer!

The average schedule for the Memorial at your local Kingdom Hall
7 pm - song ("Lord's Evening Meal") and prayer
7:05 -- speaker rambles for 25 minutes about why most people cannot partake of the emblems
7:30 -- prayer for the bread
7:32 -- everyone passes the bread around and gives it a good "sniff"
7:38 -- prayer for the wine
7:40 -- everyone passes the wine around and gives it a good "sniff"
7:46 -- speaker rambles for 3-4 minutes about not making this the only meeting you attend this year, and what the meeting schedule is, and that you should ask for a Bible study if you survived all this with your sanity intact
7:50 -- concluding song "Hail Jehovah's Firstborn" , prayer, dismissal to local bar or restaurant
