    I prefer: "Thank you so much for the offer - but I think it's best to actually follow Christ's commandment and not celebrate ignoring it. Toodles and have a nice day"

    But these would be fun to:

    "I would.......but the bread sucks and it doesn't really go well with dark wine"

    "You know - it's hard to really get into a party when noone participates."

    "Can I bring my own glass? I don't like sharing with strangers........"

    "I really don't enjoy re-runs"

    "I have plans at that time - how 'bout you stop over afterward and we can have our own celebration?"

    LOL at Dawn's comment: "I really don't enjoy re-runs"

    hehehehehe I'm going to tell my husband to add that into his reply.

    Hi there Sam! I don't know exactly when it is. I'm sure I'll find out soon enough though.

    My mum was bugging me about this earlier this week - I don't know how to say no.

    How about "no."

    Hm. It'll be the first memorial I've ever missed in a quarter of a century...

    How about "I'd rather spend eternity wearing button-down plaid shirts and raking leaves while hugging koala bears." Oh wait, that's our fate if we DO go...

    when it looks like a JW is coming up your walk to invite you to the Memorial have your husband draw a quick '666' and pentagram on your forehead with a washable marker.....

    then tell them yes you would be glad to come--do they need anymore black candles? you got plenty of extras, you could bring them if they want?

    (this works well for JWs in service too-even better if you answer the door naked)

    Dub: "Would you like to come to this year's Memorial?"

    Un-Dub: "Uh, how many people (partakers) will be at this year's "Celebration(tm)" of the Memorial?"

    Dub: Probably no one.

    Un-Dub: Well, deleted it, then. It's not a celebration of anything. It's stupid!

    Dub: God will kill you, then.

    Un-Dub: deleted him, too.

    I told my husband "No thanks - I'll be watching Coronation Street."

    He was NOT amused!

    The local PO told me he would be happy to see me at the memorial and at the forthcoming circuit assembly.

    My reply was: "Aha." ;-)

    "I can hardly think of a better way for Satan to make a mockery of the Lord's Supper than to pass around emblems representing the body and blood of Jesus Christ and have everybody refuse them - can you?"

    You guys CRACK ME UP!!!

    If I did go (which you couldn't pay me to) I'd sit on an end chair. That way I can leave right after I hock a loogie in the wine!
