This year locally the memorial will be broadcast to the congregation using Zoom software. it will be a video broadcast, however no one locally will be partaking, so what arrangements are needed for bread and wine?
local elders plan to deliver small portions of the bread and wine to EACH household ready for the celebration.
WHY?????
if none are partaking and you can see on the video broadcast the visual aid of bread and wine, why are they going to such lengths to make sure each household receives an infected portion of bread and wine?
its because when they quote jesus saying 'keep doing this in remembrance of me.' They have made the ritual of PASSING the bread and wine the important thing instead of partaking. the only reason to pass the bread is so someone down the line can eat some. but JWs feel that unless they PASS the emblems they have not been obedient to the christ.
this is why some congregation go through the ridiculous procedure of having all the servers who passed the emblems 20 times go sit on the front row and pass it again among themselves.
i had to laugh when i heard an elder would be visiting a family member with bread and wine, which is not to be eaten or drunk... well until about an hour later as it doesnt count after the memorial is over!
