NoviceLocs14 confessed, "I was kind of raised to believe that missing the memorial was a sin in itself."
This is interesting.
Did you then, or do you now, partake of the emblems as an indication that you are anointed?
I'm going to take a statistical leap and guess that your answer to that question is "No."
Which means that like hundreds of thousands of JWs around the world, you REJECT the bread and wine when it is offered.
So... do you now, or did you then, believe that it would be a SIN for you to REJECT the emblems in the privacy of your own home?
Personally, I am QUITE HAPPY to reject the emblems from the comfort of my comfy recliner in front of my glorious wide-screen TV.
