but it could happen..
Ah, Armageddon. The thing JW's fall back when they can't prove a point.
When you get them into a corner when they can no longer prove a belief or teaching, they often fall back on you die-ing in Armageddon for not having faith.
But don't worry, they're not a doomsday cult. They say so on their jw.org site!
during the wt study yesterday i had a confused look on my face the whole meeting.
more of a, wtf, face.
one paragraph says, "therefore,the number of partakers does not accurately indicate the number of anointed ones left on earth.".
I foresee them not counting in the future.
Exactly. It's a two serving purpose. It does away with the issue of everyone raising an eyebrow as the numbers go up and I think ultimately it will allow them to keep the number literal as only the people at the very top will know what the actual number is.

I was more disturb that the WT mentioned that some who partake "may have mental or emotional problems " ... Insane.... so if you Read & follow Jesus command on John 6: 51..."if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever, ..." & partake of the emblems & wine we are the ones with "mental & emotional problems?"
The whole article was awkward, paragraph 5 & 6 the WT is placing a gag order on partakers... don't talk about it, if your going to do it don't mention it to others & if the other see someone partaking don't ask them about it!!!! Wow, just Wow..... yeah I see them putting an asterisk by the yr book partakers #s that this # may not reflect accurately "true anointed christians" NEW LIGHT! ;)
Yea they stripped any "perks" that came from claiming you are anointed. The first move was removing them as the Faithful and Discreet Slave. After this article, there's nothing special left besides eating/drinking the wine and bread.
The top 7 only want the glory.

I caught that same point as well. Yes, I firmly believe they will stop printing the number. They have to. I suspect you wont see it in next years Yearbook. It is meaningless now at this point, and they have just admitted it. This will go quietly away, and no one will say a word about it.
You watch, the 144,000 number will be next. It will be announced as figurative, and not literal.
The light grows ever brighter!
You know what, if they stop printing the number of anointed, they can leave the 144,000 as literal. No one will have a clue how many are actually partaking. Hardly anyone knows of anointed now so they can keep it a literal number as long as they want now.
Holy crap, I think this was another layer of them bashing the number. Next step is to remove it from print which allows them to keep it literal with zero questions asked.. It's a win/win for them

Thanks thedepressed soul. Oops. I stand corrected! I had missed that as a quote and wrongly read it as something a Witness had said at the meeting in their own words.
No worries bro

The Watchtower study article did not say the number was inaccurate. The OP said Witnesses anssering during the Watchtower study saidbit was inaccurate.
"Therefore,the number of partakers does not accurately indicate the number of anointed ones left on earth" -
That's from their Watchtower! How is them not saying it's inaccurate? They are saying it is not accurate.

they only printed a % of partakers not the actual amount?
No, they print the actual number.
is it just me or does it grind your gears when you see #bestlifeever hashtag after every damn jw post on fb and instagram?.
i rarely get on instagram anymore because i dont want to deal with the jw propaganda but i swear sometimes i just want to comment on one of those pics 'jw life is the worst life ever wake up already'.
does anyone else know what i'm talking about?
It's the same thing as them thinking they are the most loving people. The most honest people.
They believe it's true. Now they believe they have the best life ever as they take another depression pill.

Well, given that the number of partakers has risen year-by-year since around 2006 to just over 15,000, they've got to say something. It increased at the 2015 memorial alone over the 2014 memorial by over 1,000.
I get that, but they are out right saying the number is false. So the question is, why print it? You now have all JW's thinking and saying how it's false. The number is now completely pointless.
i'm hearing rumours of huge changes within the berkshire circuit here in the uk .
congregations being dispanded and kingdom halls closing down and being sold off.... official announcements within the next month apparently .
does anyone else have anymore info?.
And yet I still have to hear about all this expansion.......
Someone was praising the 1% growth the other day in their comment. If your 401k was growing at 1% you'd be pissed!
