I'm now the receiver of all queries JW since everyone knows about my beloved...
The first words out of her mouth? "Hey! Some JWs came by and handed this invitation to me for something called a memorial. It says they're inviting me to an "anniversary" of Jesus' death. Are they kidding? They're celebrating Christ's death? Isn't that a little creepy? Do they know he "rose again in accordance with the scriptures...?" (non jws would recognize the sarcasm).
Me: Uh, yeah... see....
Cousin: Uh yeah... is this a seance or something? It's in the evening. What happens when it gets dark? Is this a candelight vigil or something?
Me: Uh, hmm... good question... I dunno does it say?
Cousin: It says that I have to go and find out if death ends it all... wtf? You sure there's nobody being sacrificed at this thing? Like, will there be a real live demonstration? Why the preoccupation with death?
Me: They kinda have this preoccupation with Armageddon.
Cousin: I'd need to be preoccupied with some anxiety meds if I heard THAT every weekend. You wanna go? I'll give you my thing here...
Me:
So, this is what it sounds/looks like to us non-jws. I will go and pick up the invite and try to empty my brain of all that I've learned and give you my thoughts.
