  so i went last night and it really wasn't that bad.

  in fact, i felt comfortable.

  i got the usual greetings, hugs, and one of the elders almost came to tears when he saw me.. there were also the "same-old" "same-olds" who look right through you and never say a word to you.

  Hi, I just joined this forum today.. Well let me start off by saying I'm Catholic.. My girlfriend of 2 years is a disfellowshipped JW because she accepted a blood transfusion during a tumor surgery. So, I went to my first memorial last night with her because she wanted me there. It was held at a hotel. All I can say is that was the weirdest "church" I have ever attended. At times when the guy was talking I just wanted to shout out "BS!!!".. they talked about how you can only get to "paradise" through works... I shook my head in dis-belief and my GF gave me the look of death. I didn't realize how different the JW religion is.. she had always told me it was Christian but I have a hard time believing that. I told her I was going to eat the bread and drink the wine because that's what I do at mass, she said that you do that only if you're part of the 144,000 that are going to Heaven! I said well I'm going to Heaven and ate a piece of bread and sipped the wine.. and people stared at me! I guess I don't get it... she was angry at me all night. So today I asked her if she would go to Easter Mass with me this Sunday.. which seemed like a huge ordeal to her... I thought that was rude.. afterall I went to her 'memorial'...
