    At all times be polite. Say you don't believe it so won't be going because you don't wish to be a hypocrite. Then say "If you'd like to know why I don't believe in the memorial here's why..............." and show all the evidence against the Borg.

    Just remember not to count your time

    "Why do you ask? We've made other arrangements."

    (With so many congregations in one city, people understand that sometimes you go to another congregation due to work schedules, etc.)

    They say, "Oh, well, as long as you have made arrangements."

    If they ask, "Which congregation?"

    We say, "We haven't decided yet. There are a couple of details we need to work out yet. Well, we have to go now. Nice talking to you." (in our mind, until next memorial)

    Well before my mother and family decided to shun me, she did enquire as to whether I would be attending the Memorial, and I told her in no uncertain terms NO. Just like that... she was quite surprised, because this will be the first one I have ever missed in all my life...

    but since I told her that if associating with JWs meant living with them through eternity and beyond I said that I would rather not know, so asking if I would be attending the Memorial seemed to be a pointless question. She just wanted to have more ammunition to shun me..... aaaawwww.

    Just use my old famous excuse for missing the meetings in the old days . Just say :

    ' I'll be looking out for you mate ' and walk off

    Works every time
