had two elders personally visit me today to deliver the rejection of christ memorial invitation.
they were hanging around the front gate for a while because our dog (labrador) woudn't let them in.. my wife let them in the yard / house.
when they asked if i'd be going i smiled and said "thank you for the invitation", then quickly changed the subject.
The elders send me a txt message every 6-8 months asking if I want a visit from them. I respond with "no thanks, I'm good".
They stopped inviting me to CO visits and assemblies, so I was not surprised to be ignored for the memorial. Out of sight out of mind I guess.

no problem blind, check yours and you should have it!
blind you have a PM
i have been thinking about this for weeks!.
nothing short of death will be acceptable to my mother!.
i thought of saying i will go to another cong but my parents know people there so that won't work.. help!.
Agree to go but then get severe food poisoning. Can't go if you can't get off the can.
are you disfellowshipped, disassociated, active, inactive???
?.
I am inactive. Still have a couple witness friends even with my beard. Being shunned by my sister but my parents still love me an show it.
my daughters house burned down and her and her husband and three children got out with just the jammies on their back.
when her husband called his parents ( dad is elder and both parents are regular pioneers) the next morning, they told him they were sorry that they were unable to come and help as 'big wig' brother, head of the branch had just died and they were going to be with his grieving wife and son!?!
it's been a week now and they are still a no-show as they are too busy with their bible studies and service to even see their son and three grandchildren.
Sorry to hear about their situation but glad they made it out alive.
The bible predicted that in the last days the "love of the greater number would cool off" I think that because the witlesses think the end is so near they do not have time to show love for anyone but the corporation they worship. If God is real, he will punish them.
i was pondering the other day, why the watchtower corporation doesn't just sell off all the kingdom halls and hang the jws out to dry seeing they make far more $$$ from business than peddling the religion these days.. then it dawned on me... they need to keep that little sideline going for the tax breaks!.
slow learner i guess.. oz .
-DJ, You are just a troll, and I'm done with you. All the words you wrote appear on my screen as vomit, for that is what it amounts to. Your leaders clearly instuct you not to associate with sites such as ours because we are bad association, and your refusal to identify yourself shows that you know it, regardless of your pathetic excuses for why you won't.
I feel they are wrong, I feel YOU are bad association, and I will not continue to was my happy life engaging someone like you in conversation.

7 How important, then, that we “safeguard [our] heart” by exercising godly wisdom in our choice of associates, reading matter, entertainment, and Web sites that we may visit on the Internet! (Prov. 4:23) The apostle Paul wrote: “Look out: perhaps there may be someone who will carry you off as his prey through the philosophy and empty deception according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary things of the world and not according to Christ.” (Col. 2:8) That injunction becomes all the more urgent as Jehovah’s day approaches, for its unprecedented ‘heat’ will melt away all “the elements” of Satan’s system, exposing them as totally lacking in fire-resistant qualities. This calls to mind the words of Malachi 4:1: “The day is coming that is burning like the furnace, and all the presumptuous ones and all those doing wickedness must become as stubble. And the day that is coming will certainly devour them.”
