the wt teaches that the memorial ( communion) should only be celebrated yearly and only the anointed can partake of the bread and wine .
is that right ?
i don't think so ..
RonW thank you for those links , really interesting .
The whole teaching seems to be based ( used loosely) on cherry picked verses taken out of context.
It's really surprising how many emotionally and mentally unbalanced JWs there are !!! That is always the go to get out card ." You don't believe us any more - mentally diseased " ," you think you are anointed- mentally unstable "
The whole tenor of the article is condescending, the questions suitable for children.

Ron and Tonus thanks for that information. I am not familiar with the history of the Memorial in the WT
On another thread a comment was made that Jesus only told the original 11 Apostles to keep taking the bread and wine . I cited 1Cor 10 : 16 as proof that in fact the whole church had adopted the practise and Paul was totally ok with that. As long as people approached the Sacrament in with the right spirit
It has also occurred to me that if it was only the 11 who were originally instructed to partake how come even now after all the changes the 144 , 000 can
Non of the ' logic ' makes sense to me
I can find no Biblical evidence for the WT teaching . I have asked but non forthcoming.

i’ve decided to disassociate from the jw organisation.
i cannot be part of a community that blatantly rejects the sacrifice of jesus in that demonic memorial ritual.
amazing what information you find when you start researching.. i’m writing my letter and posting it to the kingdom hall this morning.
LHG , l see your point. Time and again l have to remind myself that l just don't understand the mindset of the fully immersed rank and file .
To me me the loss of such fickle friends is no loss at all . Then l remember that people who shun think that they are doing it out of love .
It's just so screwed up .

I get that maybe you don't want to lose contact with close family members, although it's actually their choice to shun you .
Is it so dreadful to lose contact and be shunned by JW " friends " ?

so, i’m just posting this as a warning to lurking jws.
if you’re still on the fence, here is a story.. my grandmother, now in her 80s hasn’t talked to anyone in the family for over 20 years ever since my mother was the last one of her children that left ‘the truth’, she had sent my mother a card to never talk to her again.
so here we are 21 years later, she gets a call out of the blue that she needed help, she hadn’t been able to get into her kitchen.
May l ask which church you attend. ?
I understand that you may not want to say .

What does it matter what Paul said ? Maybe because Paul definitely was anointed by God .
Rattigan where in the Bible is there anything to back that up. ?

someone asked me recently when did i start to have doubts as an elder about what i was teaching from the platform.. i have given it a lot of thought and i can say that it was when i was delivering a public talk about the book of hebrews.
so i paused and read it again.. i looked at the audience and said to them let's look at the cross-reference for this verse which is hebrews 12:22 and i read that verse.
after which i remember saying "and this is how the outline puts it.... " and i read from the outline verbatim.. abraham was not looking forward to an earthly kingdom hope.
Revelation 21 talks of a NEW HEAVEN and a NEW EARTH and God making His dwelling among men . It all becomes one
The old heaven and earth are gone . So the Org.'s idea of a life on this earth as it is has to be wrong .
I have heard of JWs going round choosing which houses they will live in after all non JWs have been annihilated.
Well those houses will be gone .
