That is right!!!!! No ONE of the 12 were anointed when they partook of the emblems. Jesus was the only one anointed and he didn't partake. The 12 were from the great crowd with earthly hopes. That is what the book of Acts says. They asked Jesus if he was establishing the Kingdom on earth. They didn't have a yearning to go to heaven. Listen, Obey and be Blessed... ;)

Worst Memorial Talk Ever!
by The Searcher ini honestly have never heard such claptrap being delivered in a memorial talk.. the speaker repeatedly put down the way other religions administered the bread & wine, and claimed that witnesses do it exactly as the bible describes.
oh yeah????.
he forgot to mention - when reading aloud 1 corinthians 11:25 - that after passing the bread, a full meal was to be shared, before the wine was passed around!

When Jesus eat the last supper, he was the only one anointed. The apostles were anointed at Pentecost. That being said, they were from the great crowd and Jesus told him to eat. They didn't have the heavenly hope. They didn't have the "yearning" to go to heaven as the WT says. According to the book of Acts, they were expecting Jesus to establish the kingdom on earth. So, no anointed ones partook of the emblems when the first memorial was established, when Jesus made the covenant with them. -

by AndersonsInfo2 in"one member of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses repeated the well-known saying: 'to know where we are going, we have to know where we have come from.'".
you will find this statement on jw.org - under activities - the museum - "a tour through time.
there jw.org is featuring a slick advertisement for the tour at brooklyn, bethel, of watchtower's museum containing their version of the history of the organization.

You would go straight to the back room with 3 judges ordering you to repent from telling others where JWs came from... -

You are right Prologos. I was thinking about the disciples that were with Jesus. They didn't really needed to be anointed to eat of the bread and drink of the wine.
Luke was inspired by Holy Spirit to write that Judas was still there. So, who should I believe?
Luke's Gospel is clear.

How many were anointed on the first memorial?
None, They were all anointed at Pentecost....
Were there 11 or 12?
Luke says Judas was still there and he ate the bread and drank the wine.
19 Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: “This means my body, which is to be given in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” 20 Also, he did the same with the cup after they had the evening meal, saying: “This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood, which is to be poured out in your behalf. 21 “But look! the hand of my betrayer is with me at the table.
