    This is my first miss, and I'm not a bit sad to miss this years fashion show. Is it just me or where more people concerned about what they were wearing than the so called "holy day"?

    Yumbby -
    Fashion show? Not at my old hall! You must live in an affluent area!
    The dubs at our hall had no idea of fashion.

    Yummby, you struck a chord with your comment on the fashion show.

    That is EXACTLY what it was @ the KH I attended.

    I found NO one was even the least bit concerned about the "Memorial of Christ's Death", but damn sure interested in getting a brand new suit or dress and flaunting it, comparing/complimenting with one another before and after the ceremony.

    I personally dont think God would judge you by the best outfit you can wear to five meetings each week, or specifically on a Sunday afternoon, but by what is located in your heart.

    I wonder how many JW attendants or elders would scold or turn away a person who entered the KH on this "Memorial" occasion to learn about Jesus but was dressed in ragged or worn clothing? Does that constitute that person unworthy?

    JW are such hypocrites, I get sick to my stomach thinking about them.

    Hell, no.!! I sat at home having a few brews and watching Steven Segal kick ass on HBO. Two movies in a row. Hey, can't be much better than this. My mom did call out of the blue the other day, and there seemed to be no reason for her to do that. She had nothing to say really. But I guess she chickened out at the last minute.

    On another note, I DID NOT attend this year.

    First time I DID NOT attend.

    Wasnt even invited.

    I guess after mailing a DA letter threatening litigation should they step on my property or make any attempt to contact me.. I can see why.

    Feels DAMN GOOD TOO.

    misty, at first it bothered me, and I figured I was going to die because I didn't go to memorial. But I now know that God is not going to kill me, and I no longer feel guilty. But the first few years, I did, back when my mom was always trying to get me to go. Now she doesn't even try.

    you know...i even remember a time when i heard during the memorial speech that "this may even be our last memorial",,,,yeah, uh that was like 15 years ago!

    Or how about the one where you shouldn't miss the meetings because at any given time, the great tribulation could start and and they'd only be able to tell the people in attendance any "secret" information needed to survive armaggedon!

    Hi ISP.
    Words cannot describe what I saw and heard after taking off the rose coloured glasses.

    Hi Pureheart, did you go? I know your husband ia an active JW so it would be hard for you not to. It was the first memorial I have missed in 20+ years.

    Regards
