    Hi to all. I've been reading the forum for a while and wanted to ask a question.

    Does anybody know how many take the emblems nowadays. They must all be about 120 years old now. Hey......maybe the're really taking a secret elixia of life.

    Sound like a storyline for a new Dan Brown novel

    Vitty, I always did get a kick out of that. I'm 31 years old, and for my entire life the number of anointed never really changed.

    Jehovah is continually replacing those who get tired of sitting on a cloud and waiting for orders to wipe everybody out at an Armageddon that never seems to come.

    Good one Kaput. Finally an answer that makes sense.

    The number of partakers has seemed to have altered very little in the last few years, but as to the age of the so - called anointed, some may not be all that old. The two who joined the governing body last year are both in their 50's, and are both said to be anointed.
