If the number of annointed is not so important to the Society ........
WHY DO THEY ,AND HAVE FOR A LONG TIME , COUNTED UP EVERY YEAR THE NUMBER AND GIVE THE NUMBER IN THE YEAR BOOK ?
It was always given as an indicator of how close the end of the system was ,now it seems it is an indicator of how many deluded people are in their midst.

Others may have mental or emotional problems that lead them to believe that they will rule with Christ in heaven.

7,982,000 are just being bullied into not partaking.
partaking would be a minimum requirement for any baptised "christian" to be on his way to "everlasting life". then give up, to exchange that "gift" to gain immortality.
the wt count of partaker is as meaningless as their whole holy horror story, it is all fiction, like the foundation, the talking snake story, that is the basis of it all.

Interesting! Doesn't this mean the same time thing can be said about Mark Sanderson? He looks really young! How do we not know he's not emotionally distressed or he could be suffering some kind of mental illness?

"If you have begun partaking of the emblems within the past 10 years, you are either (a) mistaken, or (b) mentally ill."
This...
...is a hard one for me to argue with, actually.

The memorial ceremony by the JWS is a misguided fraud from a theological perspective, for all other Christian based faiths partake by everyone not just the chosen by god of the 144,000, which according to the bible may have already been chosen.
Most Christian based faiths hold to the doctrine that to be spiritually cleansed by Jesus's blood for their salvation, one has to make that appearing gesture by drinking the symbolic wine at the yearly memorial event.

I also think the WTS leaders (GB) took on this doctrine so to uplift their own personal stature and identity as devoted faithful Christians (FDSL), the anointed ones as it were.
But these particular anointed ones were lying corrupt charlatans running their own publishing house.

It just dawned on me to ask- where the apostles with Jesus the night of the Passover/New covenant even baptized? I recall the disciples baptizing others but nothing is written that they themselves got baptized. I always assumed that they were baptized by John the baptist. Can anyone shed light on the subject? Thanks
