I am ticked off!!! (page 2)

upside/down

You should feel "priveleged", I never have recieved one ounce of attention at all and I NEVER missed meetings and always had a MEANINGFUL share in participating and one day just stopped. Nothing from anyone,NADA.....

I'm jealous...

well...I can't do anything about this...because we are "fading"...and don't want to draw attention or make it look like we have "issues"...

and I just found out who left the invite today, I got a call later today...........Not the same person from Sat....when the person called and said: "you didn't answer your door, so I left a tract"......

I said nothing in acknowledgement of that invite...........at all.

I really DON'T want them to come by. I don't want to tell them how spiritually abused I have felt and that is WHY I am not at the KH.....

Besides, how do they know I am not attending another one??? Presumptousness eludes these people!!!

Thanks Sassy.........you get the point!!! I knew you would.

If you really MISS someone it wouldn't take almost 2 years to show it...more like one month or 2 weeks.....................

and I found out why they MISS me.........."my singing".......oh yeah...That was in the inside of the Examining Scriptures.....(figures, only a trained musician with a voice can sing those songs!!!)....boy I am bad...lol

CB, just send them my way next time you get a phone call, visit, tract, etc. I really need the spiritual encouragement and would like to give them a little in return. Don't let them see the territory map until after they get here because my address is on the back of it right beside the words 'Apostate who thinks he can tell us something about Jesus.'

Code Blue:

I would feel a bit miffed. The invite would not feel sincere and heartfelt, because it was done in a hit and run fashion. I would feel invaded and pressured, because they are trying to "guilt" me. For reasons all thier own, that has nothing to do with true friendship or caring. It would make me feel, more reluctant to "visit" more than anything.

I could respect someone coming up to me and actually having the gumption to talk to me. Rather than hide behind a note. I could respect the courage they had to cross the line and give a heart felt, sincere invite. This isn't one, nor is it presented in a loving way. It is more like take it or leave it, but I am not lowering myself to speak to you. An that is the insult to injury.

LOL CodeBlue I can totally relate, where is the love?

Last Memorial I attended was in 2001. In 2002 my Mom gave the daughter of a sister in her Congregation my address as I was in her territory and especially wanted her to bring me a Memorial invite. She told me two weeks ahead of the Memorial that she did this and almost daily emailed me asking if I "met" this sister yet.

The day of the Memorial I came home from work late and saw the tract in my door with the sister's name on it inviting me that night! Oh and there wasn't a time on the invite either I could only assume it was a half hour before sundown.......it was night fall when I came home! Oops!

Oh I sure felt the love and let my Mother know about it too.

my guess is they ordered too many invites and had to leave some somewhere other than the laundrymat.

come to nashville that night and instead of wine and bread we'll have beer and hotwings!

I know how you feel codeblue. The only time anyone bothers with us is if my mom has asked specifically for someone to call on us, or just a few weeks ago, a brother came to the door, and we found out it was because of the CO's visit. I guess they had to tell him they've contacted all the inactive ones in the territory. I'm still waiting after three years for the brother that said he'd come back and visit with me after my dad died.

Well, for them to come calling when it is time for the memorial sounds typical. They have to try to up the statistics for attendance on their reports. I guess they took it for granted last year that you would be there but this year they werent sure.

The last time they called my house, my husband answered and asked if there was something special coming up like an assembly or CO visit, since that was the only time they would bother to call. They want numbers to look good. They haven't called since.

Can anybody here identify with how I feel?

I sure can. I get a visit once a year just before memorial. This year my visit will be on sat. mar 19 at about 10:30 am

They will tell me how much they miss me how much they love me and how they really hope I will attend memorial.They will then try to place the official invitation in my hand. The last few years I just kept my hands in my pocket when they tried to give it to me.This year I am not going to bother answering the door. They will know I am home and ignoring them. Hope that doesn't hurt their feelings too much.

I am ticked off!!!
