    I completely did not know the date of the Memorial this year. Just happened across a post on FB in which it was mentioned a few minutes ago.

    THIS is a good thing - probably the first time in 50 years I did not know the day/time of the Memorial celebration of Jehovah's Witnesses. I did know that today is Good Friday and that Easter is Sunday. Although those holidays mean nothing to me either - I was thinking of having a little egg hunt here.

    It is great to really be an X-xjw. Perhaps even better to be free of all foolish religion.

    Same here - I was under the impression it was Friday night, but apprently not!

    No JWs knocked on my door this year with my invitation, either!

    Nobody knocked on my door either, but I had 3 letters in the post and a lot of texts and phone calls.

    I tend to need to know when the Memorial is because of my JW wife, but this time around almost nothing was said about it. I did get an invitation in the mail from the local Spanish congo. (I live in a Spanish neighborhood) but it was addressed to "Residente."

    But I get what you are saying- it's that unimportant to you.

    Despite my family connections to active JWism, I barely know what's going on with the JW's. If I stayed away from JWN, I would know even less.

    Yes, I almost forgot until I saw the invitation posted on a friend's fridge. I used to get invited every year, but I think everyone got the message.

    "Wow" was my reaction to this,also. Ever since my JW father passed away over a year ago, the JW influence is fading quickly. No more new mags laying around the house, no yearly invites to the Dist. Conventions. Weird.
