Cold Creek: I am stuck going now. I could say no but my family will probably not talk to me for a week. There is no easy way to get out of this. Oompa, I suggest going for the sake of your marriage.
You gotta be kidding creek! your penalty for not going is a quiet week!!!!!! what a gift!!!!! It sounds like a real easy way to get out of it without even faking being sick.....I have expressed getting the heebie jeebies for years going to the memorial, even to the elders... they called me last year to encourage me to go, thinking I would pass....first of all....it aint a meal like Jesus and the apostles got, and the only ones that should be reclining and eating are the anointed.....WTF are the Great Crowd doing there? And if they know they are not going to eat or drink it is TOTALLY Hypocritical to pass this stuff around with no intend of partaking.....There was only one reason to pass the food....and that was to partake! Talk about traditions of men taking hold.....this is a doozy...................end it........oompa
Invite the anointed and get it done already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.........leave us alone
