    I know that several years ago a group of Japanese Witnesses flew to New York

    for the express purpose of watching some of the GB sip and chew.

    Well, I did see someone partake of the emblems, who became a GB member. He actually gave the Memorial talk, as well.

    That number thing will always be off. We have so many people confused about that issue.

    Yes, one of them came to Cleveland to give the memorial talk and the local elders rented out a local civil auditorium and had several congergations at the same time. I wish I could remember his name but I never knew the GB's names when I was in so not remembering them now isn't a big deal.

    I remember some years ago we would have the Memorial and some nut case would show up every year and partake of the emblems of course we would look on in disbelief and talk about the crazy person for months thereafter. Never realizing that we were the nuts sitting there listening to a boring a&s talk and then watching the bread and wine be passed around. That was our one big event every year where we all get new suits and dresses and get all made up for this one extra meeting in the week. You would think they would let us exchange gifts on that day or have parties maybe decorate the house or something because this is it the one date we circle on the calendar as a special day. Oh yeah there was another brother I knew who partook of the emblems every year he was really zealous but other than that there wasn't anything really special about him other than he was really old. He wasnt even an elder or anything just really, really old so many people said he was anointed but I always had my doubts of course now I have doubts about all of them. Actually I dont think any of those brainwashing, family destroying, threatening, controlling, sons of B&*$#s are going anywhere.

    When I was a child there were 3 Elderly members,two men one woman , that would partake of the emblems each year . It was a novelty to watch them each year .

    I've been thinking of attending just so I could have wine and crackers and freak every one out. I would bring some brie cheese with me too.
