faithful and discreet slave, a distinct class of people comprising the remaining ones of the 'anointed[1]' 144,000[2], or "the remnant"[3] that is "appointed over" others to "give them their food at the proper time", based on their interpretation of matthew 24:45 ("a faithful and wise servant" kjv).. .
each year at the annual "memorial" only the anointed class of members partake of the emblems.
everyone else is an observer.. did you ever think that the memorial is only a display to keep their authority over the rank and file ?
This graph shows the actual number of memorial partakers (blue) and an "expected" value that I calculated based on actual mortality statistics - from Germany, though. If we assume that Germany's life expectance is above average, the green line should be even lower.
It is noticeable that the number dropped steeply until ~ 1970, but since then it remained nearly constant.
BTW, here is only memorial partaker graph:
after the witchtower, i also translated some articles from "unser kurbisreichsdienst" (meaning "our pumpkin-empire ministry", sounding similar to "our kingdom ministry" in german).. here is the first issue of "our boredom ministry":.

Is there any way to get a copy of the Witchtower?
You mean a printed copy? Unfortunately, no, I do not print them. But you can make one by yourself.
You can use the "2 pages per sheet" option in Adobe Reader. First print pages 16,1,14,3,12,5,10,7. Then put the paper back into the printer (upside down) and print pages 8,9,6,11,4,13,2,15.

Hey!
I also want to translate some articles of Unser Kürbisreichsdienst (meaning "Our Pumpkin-empire ministry"). What, do you think, would be an adequate title for the English version?
?

Are you bilingual from early childhood? I am kind of amazed. To make puns of this sort requires a real command of a language
No, my parents do not speak English at all. I often work with colleagues from different countries and use English then.
But two of the articles (about thinking and kingdom melodies) are loosely based on real WT/Awake ones ... so I stole some sentences from there. Also, there are lots of good dictionaries out there

It goes to show anyone can pick and choose scriptures to back up a belief.
Yes ... one of my intentions is to show that you can proof really everything with the Bible. And that you can do the same with other texts. I also created an article series "The prophecy of the Brothers Grimm - Light for All Mankind". I think I will translate the first one for the next issue.

Very clever, putting the naked jw tennis player in the clothing article
An announcement from "Our Pumpkin Ministry", 4/2008:
Congregations should begin requesting the 2009 Calendar of female Jehovah’s Witnesses. The society could enlist Serena Williams, Kim Holland and others to show Jehovah's servants the beauty of his creation. Please consider that this calendar is intended only for brothers who are at least 18 years old.

Hmm .. any other name suggestions are welcome. "The washtowel" sounds good to me.
The name "witchtower" might be a hint that they are guided by evil spirits (as they say that witches are in contact with those) ...
Regarding that old publication ... I only know German version:
It says that apostates had been killed under the mosaic law, but we cannot do that today because we don't live in a theocratic nation, and the worldly law and the "law of the christ" forbid such action - even if the apostates are our relatives.
wouldn't it be cool to make a look-a-like watchtower magazine and fill it full of things that expose the real wt ?
I published the first issue of "The Witchtower", an english-language "Best of Erbrechet!":
