  well like i say, just got back from the memorial, have been going most years, but this year i went by chance (knew it was roughly at 7pm at the nearest kh) to my old congregation that i grew up in.

  i didn't find the "evil" people spoke of here on this forum, or those too stupid to see.

  all i did see was people i hadn't seen in years, and let me tell you, what lovely people they were.

  Well, Scooby, I'm back home now. I assume you're in bed and will not read this until tomorrow.

  I assume you took my comment about being "proud" to mean I am in some way haughty or the "center of attention" as you put it. No, you are wrong yet again. What I meant was, I have nothing to be ashamed of, despite the horrific lies told - and by many believed - by my ex-husband. I can hold my head high, not in arrogant pride, but in the knowledge that I am far more morally clean than some there who are regular attenders. As someone who spent over 30 years as an "inner circle" Witness, I can attest to the fact that many who gave you smiles and hugs tonight have nasty secrets.

  Then again, many are genuinely good people....just like every other group you might assemble with.

  When I first read your words to me, I was highly offended and reacted with anger. Raising my two wonderful daughters is one of the best things I ever did in life and I tend to get a bit pissy when someone has the ignorant audacity to suggest either of them are unlucky.

  Since I've had time to mellow, I will retract any hurtful words or phrases I directed towards you, except this: Judgemental people who act just as you did in this post are exactly why myself and others left the Kingdom Hall. Your sanctimonious, simpering, superiority is the complete antithesis of what Jesus taught.

  Your conduct, and that of many of those well-wishers you saw tonight, is more typical of the Pharisees of Jesus day; they have an outward form of devotion, devoid of substance or practical application.

  My daughter, in case you're interested, hugged me and thanked me for being there with her...as did her husband and his family. I'm glad she was pleased. One of many small and great sacrafices I have made for her happiness.

  Oh, and about the "editing". For reasons I have not been able to understand, each reply post of mine has been preceeded by two or more blank posts. I am not editing at all, nor do I know how to do so since the forum change.

  Oh, and by the way, Scooby...

  My daughter is extremely fortunate to have me as a parent and often tells people so. I was the only one to take an interest in her spiritual well-being, as her MS father would not even conduct a study with her.

  If I have any contempt at all, it is for people who rush to judgement about people they do not know. Now THAT pisses me off.

  In case you don't know, I could honestly GIVE the talk tonight. I've heard it close to 40 times and wrote a few of them for someone else to deliver as I lacked the proper chromosome.

  Sounds as if all the love and good spirits you enjoyed have worn off quickly.

  Scooby: you have seriously misjudged me. I am filled with neither anger, nor hate. I am very happy in my life and do not wish ill towards anyone. Otherwise, why would I attend the Service tonight?

  I am being honest about a few completely hypocritical individuals. They exist in every group. Among this group are also some of the best people I know. The fact that most of them cannot associate with me because they believe lies is not something I worry about. It is their loss and also not their fault.

  You really should get to know a person a little better before you make such sweeping statements. You are completely wrong here.
