He should say yes I am annointed. The elders wont be able to tell him he is not. Most of the people I know who partake are not neccessarily pillars in the cong. They will prolly leave him alone if he stands his ground. As long as he maintains that WTBS is gods organisation. If he denies that...he's a gonner.

Hey expatbrit,
I was gonna share my wonderful experiences about attending but you took the words out of my mouth.
It's amazing the ability these people develop to be able to listen to and present the same old BS and act like it is just so new and interesting.
On a lighter note...the dude giving the talk tripped over a mike cord and almost fell flat on his ass before the whole ordeal began.
One stat he threw out during the talk is that there is only one annointed per 17,000 of the "other sheep". Not sure what it means but numbers are ionteresting I think. He also talked about how close the end it too. He said "I didn't think it would make it this long but it is very close now". LOL Whatever!
Anyway, I went to be with my wife too and like yours she thinks I am buzzard food after armageddon.
It sucks to be married to a wonderful woman and to have that acting as a wedge between us. As if keeping a marriage together isn't hard enough.
Take care my friend and take comfor in knowing that you are not alone.

Memorial or insult?
by NikL inlet me preface this with a disclaimer.
i believe in god and a higher spiritual state however i do not believe that god can be encapsulated in any one religion.. that being said, i was thinking the other day about the upsoming high holy day of dubdom, the memorial.. this is where they gather together to ...what?
listen to a talk about the last hours of jesus life and then pass wine and bread around.

Hi Bruce144,
You said "Once you accept the fact that only the 144,000 make up the body and spiritual church of Christ will you understand why it is only for them."
My question for you would be why should I "accept" anything? The only thing the bible exhorts us to accept is Jesus as our savior.
You say that, "Right now just about all the different churches take of the memorial or last supper", and "This alone should alert us how ridiculous this is. How can they all be right when they disagree about their doctrines and actually hate and fight over certain issues?".
Prove to me that any are right! As to fighting and disagreeing over things, do not forget that Jehovah's favorite people Isreal not only fought wars but also committed one of the greatest genocides in history.
I say it again, God is too big to fit into one religion. -

That being said, I was thinking the other day about the upsoming high holy day of Dubdom, the memorial.
This is where they gather together to ...what? What do most do? Listen to a talk about the last hours of Jesus life and then pass wine and bread around. Do most eat and drink as was commanded in the bible? NO. Most pass it on. They gather together to pass the symbols on. It seems to me this is a symbolic REJECTION of Jesus and not a rememberance of him. Any thoughts? -

My good lil JW wife received the following heartwarming e mail. GAG!...
Experience: Told by instructor in recent MTS class graduation
(Angola Construction)One day during a class (in Portugal) a pigeon flew ino the classroom. It was
injured. The students decided to help it back to health. It was a messanger
pigeon. Anyway eventually it was ready to be released and so they let it go
and it flew away. In another part of the country, a congregation was looking
for a venue to hold the Memorial. Eventually they managed to
find a restaurant that they could book. Afterward when the brothers went to
pay for the use of the place, the owner wouldn't accept the money. When they
asked why he explained that he has messanger pigeons. One of them went
missing for a few weeks, but then it came back. Inside the message holder
was a message that read: Jehovah be with you. It was the same pigeon that
the MTS students had cared for and released. Even the pigeons are helping to
witness to Jehovah. -

A jw couple is at a concert by some artist while in another town for an assembly. During the show the artist asks all JWs to leave. Since there is a convention going on a bunch of the audience is composed of dubs and therefore many leave the show.
I have heard this same story about Johgn Denver, Clint Black, Tanya Tucker, Mack Davis and others.
Anybody else remember this one?
