For Witnesses Attending the Memorial!

by The Searcher in

(1 corinthians 11:23-25) ".......that the lord jesus on the night on which he was going to be betrayed took a loaf, 24 and after giving thanks, he broke it and said: "this means my body, which is in your behalf.

keep doing this in remembrance of me.

" 25 he did the same with the cup also, after they had the evening meal, saying: "this cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood.

As per the my opinion Jehovah's witnesses memorial is not a religious event, it's a marketing tool to increase their numbers. Normaly in our country elders are realy keen on numbers. Next second after the last prayer they need to know the head count and they compare with the previous year and eith the other congregations.

After that they brainwash the new comers. Therefore it's just a marketing campaign.

Last Sunday (23rd February 2015) we had our zone visit ( Visit Headquarters Representative). This time governing body member david splane and brother john ekrann came to Sri Lanka. And they spent almost one week in Sri Lanka.

In his talk brother splane highlighted the contribution that they are receiving Sri lanka. And he mentioned one publisher give only average of Sri Lanka Rupees 165/- ( Equal to US$ 1.25) for a month. Therefore he encourage to increase the that amount. Since they are going to built new 4,000 congregations.

And further he discourage the higher education as usual. Personally I'm not willingly donate to worldwide work. The main reason is the luxury facilities at bethel Sri Lanka. All the rooms are air conditioned and equipped with new furnitures. ( In Sri Lanka only less that 1% of people have AC rooms). They encourage others to make their life simple. However they do not apply that principle to their facilities. The monthly contribution ( US$ 1.25 x 6,000 Publishers = US$ 7,250/-) not enough to pay their electricity bill also.

I don't know about the bethel facilities at other countries. However In Sri Lanka they have a luxury living standard compared with middle level life style of Sri Laanka.
