Missing your grandmothers memorial, will be something you will always regret, and will never have a second chance to correct it.. especially if you avoid going, because a sibling dont want you to attend.. let the sibling miss the service, and be miserable for years, if thats the mentality by which he/she operates. About reinstating yourself, I would bet that ultimately, your grandmother would want you to do what you feel in your heart is the right thing to do, not what others think you should do! Take your exjw friend and go, pay your final respects!

Already it starts.
by Fleur inmy grandmother hasn't even been put to rest yet and already, my mother starts with "you know that grandma's greatest wish was for you to get reinstated.".
then, one of my siblings tells me that another of my siblings not only said she wouldn't come to grandma's memorial if i went but also that sibling who called me should not still be talking to me; even though i called her to tell her that grandma died.. i am facing the fact that my family may not even give me details of the memorial directly because they won't want me to go.
i don't know if i want to go to another funeral that is really just a commercial for the wts instead of talking about the person who is gone at all.

What little things used to excite you as a JW?
by doodle-v ini would get excited when i was younger and would study the watchtower and see that this weeks study only had 19 paragraphs.
(made the study seem shorter,lol).
when a meeting would get canceled because of snow (which was rare) and i would get to stay home and watch a cheers or the cosby show.

My reason for sitting in the aisle chair, I am 6 foot, 5 in.. No way you can sit in the middle w/ long legs.. The aisle chair at least let you sit a bit sideways, where you could kinda let it all hang out in the aisle.. Was much more comfortable for me, anyway!
Boy.. I sure miss them hard, cramped stadium seats!!!

they wanted to refer to the watchtower article to find points of agreement and common gound.
there were some of course since i still believe in god, creation and the bible (at least any doubts i had i was not ready to share at this time).
