The anointed don't even eat with "other sheep" in good standing because the "other sheep" aren't supposed to eat anything there.
The only way they could violate the rule at the Memorial would be to partake with "anointed" who are DFd.
How many of the "anointed" are disfellowshipped?
If they are DFd, are they still considered to be among the "anointed"?
" If they are DFd, are they still considered to be among the "anointed"? "
Well, since the evil slave is now officially hypothetical, who the hell knows?!
Well done, Marvin!
Once again we find that it's not really about doctrine, truth or accurate knowledge after all. It's all about control and appearances!
So, if a disfellowshipped individual partakes are they counted as part of the anointed? If an anointed is disfellowshipped and they partake, are they counted?
Given the fact that this is a numbers driven organization this is a valid question.
Well done again Marvin !
I like the quote "Do you know how bad it looks......"
and yet the GB do not have the thinking ability to see How Bad It Looks for families to cut off their vulnerable youngsters because the Cult says so, to have "no natural affection".
I think there's been more flip flops on this too:

A disfellowshiped person is no member of Jehovah’s congregation and may not be served the emblems by those serving at the celebration of the Lord’s evening meal.

It is not for you or anyone serving the Memorial emblems to act as the judge, but to allow the emblems to go to anyone in the audience as these are passed along in the normal manner of letting each one have the opportunity to partake.

Disfellowshiped persons are not welcome. Should they attend and partake, they would not be counted.
YES - w76 2/1 p. 76 “Keep Doing This in Remembrance of Me”
Those counted as partakers are those known as faithful, baptized servants of God. We do not invite disfellowshiped persons to attend. But if such a one is present, there is no reason to be disturbed if he is seated in a row with others and proceeds to partake of the emblems.

Love the way they think they can speak on behalf of God!
Well done
