The category "inactive" fit me best. I am trapped in. The Society has my children as hostages. Stopped meetingattendance and fieldservice two years ago.
I stopped field circus altogether after June 2005--and I didn't even bother reporting that month. I quit boasting sessions after the REJECT Jesus Party of 2005; the last regular boasting session I attended was in late 2004.
JW for 28 years DA'd myself 2004...
Active.
Ministerial Servant.
Conducted WT Study today. All elders were out of congr today. It was interesting to get the rays of the "new light" about the "Israel of God". When we were reading paragraph 16, I asked them three questions:
"Why do we have to maintain Memorial today?" Answer was: "In rememberance of Christ's death."
Then I asked: "The paragraph says that "observance of the Lord’s Evening Meal is not to continue endlessly". Why then we shall not have to remember Christ's death in the New System?"
One brother answered: "Because, all anointed will fly on heaven, and nobody will partake of the emblems...."
The third question was: "Why then we have to attend Memorial today if nobody partakes in our (or some else) congregation?" Everybody was confused. "What can we say on that, according to paragraph....?" I asked that, eventhough it is not in paragraph. Then one sister raised her hand and read the last sentence in paragraph: "If, though, those who will live forever on earth were entitled to partake of the emblems, then this Memorial meal would need to continue forever."
Yes, it was pretty interesting today.
