Memorial this year?

How are they handling the memorial this year? zoom or open kh's? how do they reject the wine & bread in their own home? do they get a bottle and some nice crusty bread and put aside until the next day or later?

St George of England

ZOOM, just like last year. In the UK anyway.

Biahi

I think if they are not partaking, they just watch on zoom. Some may pass (and reject) the emblems, then drink the wine later.

Overrated

I started drinking wine even before zoom started.

USA. Zoom with the congregation. Now they say e everyone should have the emblems. I always Have wine and can make a cracker for the wife.

Yes, on zoom, and each family provides their own emblems.

At least 80% of the JWs I know will eat & drink them within seconds of their zoom cameras going dark.

Somehow, the bread and wine are only "holy", somehow it only really "counts", if you eat the bread & drink the wine....at the exact "right time".

If you eat & drink at 7:45 PM (during the meeting) then you'd better be "anointed" or you will be "partaking unworthily" and Jehovah will smite you.

If you eat/drink the identical items at 8:15 (after the meeting), though, hey, just a nice little snack.

And don't get me started on the sheer absurdity that each family will go through to appear to be "passing the emblems" to each other.

The goofiness of the whole thing is just incomprehensible to anyone who's never been a JW.

i think i'll pass again this year--seems silly to break a 40 year habit.

Hi,

Same in France ... zoom ...

But What about Russia ? I explain,

It's obvious that brothers and Sisters from russia facing trials and jails and fines because WT and GB forced them to continue proselitism despites the law ...

Today ( I hope for them ) Russian JW are like all other JW and do all with zoom or phone , but I am not sure then I ask about them

Best regards

The goofiness of the whole thing is just incomprehensible to anyone who's never been a JW.

It's also incomprehensible to any current JW with an IQ in double figures.
