Tri-Forkation
by Yan Bibiyan inthis is going to be another memorial invitation thread.. before i get to the topic at hand, i want to quickly sound off on the invitation itself.
i had seen it online weeks before the jws came with a special invitation, so the content wasnt really news to me.
however, when i held it in my hand, i couldnt help but be disgusted by the joke of an invitation that flimsy small piece of paper was.. if you are going to invite strangers to the biggest celebration of your religion, please do not hand out what looks like pieces of scrap tissue paper.
