(credit to therevealer for finding this and posting on another thread).

from watchtower march 15, 2010 page 27 "one flock, one shepherd":.

who should partake?.

Truly it is a difficult assignment to explain the "deep things" that the holy spirit conveys to them. They have to break it down in a way that the other sheeples can grasp what they so easily understand because of the priveleged position that Jah has put them in. We can only hope that with the new simplified watchtower they will include this spiritual information in the near future. I am sure that it will then become clear and understandable even for those of us simpler ones.

*** w10 3/15 p. 27 One Flock, One Shepherd ***
Who Should Partake?
15 Those in the new covenant "have boldness for the way of entry into the holy place." (Read Hebrews 10:15-20.) These are the ones who are "to receive a kingdom that cannot be shaken." (Heb. 12:28) So, then, only those who will be kings and priests in heaven with Jesus Christ should drink from the "cup" that represents the new covenant. These participants in the new covenant are the ones promised in marriage to the Lamb. (2 Cor. 11:2; Rev. 21:2, 9) All others who attend the annual Memorial are respectful observers, who do not partake of the emblems.
16 Paul also helps us to understand that those with an earthly hope do not partake of the Memorial emblems. He said to anointed Christians: "For as often as you eat this loaf and drink this cup, you keep proclaiming the death of the Lord, until he arrives." (1 Cor. 11:26) When does the Lord ‘arrive'? When he comes to take the last of his anointed bride class to their heavenly home. (John 14:2, 3) Clearly, the annual observance of the Lord's Evening Meal is not to continue endlessly. "The remaining ones" of the woman's seed yet on earth will continue to partake of this meal until all of them have received their heavenly reward. (Rev. 12:17) If, though, those who will live forever on earth were entitled to partake of the emblems, then this Memorial meal would need to continue forever.
Go ahead and try to make sense of paragraph 16. Go ahead and try, I dare you.

avoid mentioning many details and how the organization based in new york meddled in politics in the far away land that caused so many problems and deaths for their followers..

Testing Times page 23
In the early 1900's, Jehovah's Witnesses, then known as Bible Students, began teaching Bible truth in Malawi.
what part of what the Bible Students taught as truth back then would/could be published in todays watchtower publications?
But - it was Bible truth to those Malawians, LOL

i thought i shared this post made on http://de-conversion.com.. i'm in #6. indifferent.. .

a person de-converts.... 1) loss.

de-convert feels extremely sad, a sense of loss and remorse, struggling to cope with a worldview without a personal deity.

Steven Unthank: What do we really know?

i'm gonna play the skeptic today on a topic that is painful for a lot of people on this forum.

my intent is not to stir anything up but to make sure facts are confirmed.

bear in mind, i'm sickened by the wt's role (and the heirarchy down to elders) in child molestation cover-ups.

What I see is a letter from unthank concluding above the picture and then who knows who with a commentary following it. I think this will unravel as time goes on. perhaps Barb has more info.
