" Memorial partakers may be mentally ill"
Is that new light? I remember my parents telling me that since I was a child, "Oh, so and so isn't anointed, something is just not right with them"...

" Memorial partakers may be mentally ill"
Is that new light? I remember my parents telling me that since I was a child, "Oh, so and so isn't anointed, something is just not right with them"...
But now it comes from the Boys in Brooklyn:-
Memorial partakers . This is the number of baptized individuals who partake of the emblems at the Memorial worldwide. Does this total represent the number of anointed ones on earth? Not necessarily. A number of factors—including past religious beliefs or even mental or emotional imbalance—might cause some to assume mistakenly that they have the heavenly calling. We thus have no way of knowing the exact number of anointed ones on earth; nor do we need to know. The Governing Body does not keep a list of all partakers , for it does not maintain a global network of anointed ones.*

I suspect they will soon abandon publishing the number of partakers, especially in view of the recent FDS change.
