The FIRST Memorial I’ve missed in 41 years…

    Last year, my last JW Memorial, I listened to the talk as an outsider would. The speaker strung unrelated texts together and for the first time, I saw that the interpretations made no sense. Afterward, I had a private Memorial with homemade unleavened bread and wine with four people--three of whom partook.

    Since October, I've partook nearly every Sunday at church, and I plan to attend a commemoration of the Lord’s Supper this Thursday. The official term for this in mainstream Christianity is “Maundy Thursday”.

    Congrats! This will be the first one I've missed in 36 years, though the only slightly related thing I plan on doing is watching "Jesus Christ Superstar" on Netflix.

    Going to a Bible study at church tonight—the theme is “Uncomfortable scriptures”.

    Hoping the Judge and Crazie Freddie are rolling in their graves.

    Wrong week to stop sniffing glue: Do you know Don't call me Shirley? He's a new poster. Same movie, just a thought.

    This will be Hubby & I first time missing in 49 yrs. We plan on doing a quiet celebration at home by ourselves. I just posted the bread recipe on the other thread about the Memorial if anyone needs it.

    Good for you, I'm all dressed and ready to go to the memorial (slightly drunk as I finished a bottle of wine with dinner)
