During the late 1960 's the number was around 5000 I think. It does not seem to make sense that the annointed should increase.

So how many annointed are there and how many supposedly are left?
by stillstuckcruz inmaybe i just don't pay enough attention at meetings, which is a serious possibility.
of the supposed 144,000 thousand jw's that are supposed to go to heaven, how many have there been thus far?
what happens if their number surpasses that 144,000?.

I had to attend due to family. No I did not have a drink before attending. What caught my attention was about all the talk about studying and getting baptized to all new ones visiting. Same talk as previous years.

i just came back from the memorial
by J. Hofer init wasn't all that bad.
met a few friends who also don't give too much about it and had some great laughs afterwards.
we talked about how we still remember when only about 7000 took from the emblems and now its more than 11000. we also laughed about how it would look like having jesus and his disciples pass around wine and bread on a plate like that.. all in all it was the same procedure as every year.

I feel like having a drink before I have to attend this evening. It helps me to relax. There will be the fragrance of alcohol i the air.

I recall a man who was not a JW, ate a cracker and drank some of the wine at our memorial a few years ago. You should have seen the audience, you could have heard a pin drop.I never saw that man again. Maybe the elders got rid of him. LOL

Doubtful's Review of Special Day Assembly
by doubtful ini hate assemblies.
i can't stand the contrived, rehearsed, robotic sound of the interviews and experiences.
i can't stand the repeated references to the fds, and i especially can't stand the college education bashing that seems to be thrown in there in just about every other talk.. here's my assesment of the assembly:.

Violia, if any CO or DO or other rep says the Big "A" has arrived invisibly I would leave the Borganization PDQ.

I just had two sisters call on me within a few minutes of each other this morning and they are from my congregation. Is this wierd or what. Maybe it's because I did not go out today. One sister left an invitation in my mail box.
