Memorial lesson in futility....

In all the years being a JW 28 actually each and every time I attended the memorial I felt totally useless...as if I were not there it would not have mattered...

If you feel neglected at the memorial, try taking a nice long swig of the (babylon the) Grape Juice when it comes around.

The first time, I learned how they are conducted. Every year after, it was a total waste of time.

I was freaked out one year, saw elder wife pouring the wine back into bottle to take home.

One year saw an elder drink the wine afterward saying 'waste not want not'

The first year we missed, we did the emblems at home and took wine outside and poured into the ground, we thought that was most respectful. Though we did drink what was left in bottle.

We left the broken bread out for the birds.

I remember the first one I went too......They had built it up so much...I was expecting this grand celebration...!!! What a let down. I turned to my Study Conductor and said... "Was that it...?"

I've also seen them pour the wine back into the bottle, usually gave the bread to the kids...tho..
