Cookiemaster,
Are you saying that your parents and the brother you were suppose to provide transportation for all missed the Memorial? They had no other way to get there?
Did they cancel the meeting because of the blizzard?
my parents insisted that i'd take them to the memorial.
my cousin said he'd come too and another brother who doesn't have a car begged to join.
i was dreading having to go through exactly the same thing again.

My original thought (which is usually the most accurate) regarding this, is that they were using bread as a visual aid as a type of subconscious reminder to not eat of the bread this year if you do not want to grieve, or even sin, against the holy spirit...Bit suspect they use a bread illustration the month before the memorial...
A subtle warning from the Governing Body that partaking of the bread and wine unworthily could incur the Second Death. A warning? The Seven should also be very afraid lest they suffer the same fate.
This demonstration appears to be disrespectful of the Memorial Celebration.
there are seven men who proclaim to be the faithful and discreet slave.
but, are they?

the early apostles were always on the front line from scriptural accounts.. they led the ministry, enthusiastically speaking in high places, in market places to courts and kings relying on the 'power of the spirit' and constantly were in danger for their lives.
they put their very souls at risk.
they promised that they did not circulate amongst the early disciples with clever 'smooth ' words but with works of power.
Can anyone show me modern day GBs ( since Russells time) who have died from refusing blood transfusions and/ or obeying God rather than men?
The question that we should ask is if anyone on the Governing Body is truly anointed? There are many partaking today who proclaim to be anointed. The Governing Body partake the same as over 15,000 other of Jehovah's Witnesses.
What proof do they have that they, the seven, are God's chosen ones to lead God's Congregation?
there are some good minds on this forum.
how much will it cost, in your estimation, to build warwick?
Here is a photo of Warwick taken from the 2016 yearbook. It will take a lot of cash and volunteer labor to build this place.

Wow. Estimates up to 500 million.
Thanks for your comments.

it has been extensively reported on the forum that there has been a marked increase in effort over the past two years by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses to encourage an increase in monetary donations.
this has also been accompanied by the stripping of financial capital from the local congregations.
as has also been reported on this forum, this has in all probability been done to facilitate the financing of the vast new hq building project as well as the financing of the shift from a publishing company to becoming an internet based charismatic multimedia company which produces lame pixar/disney animation knock offs while simultaneously parading the governing body's ever expanding waistlines, blingy accoutrements and stupid grins.. meanwhile the financials of the organization remains as murky as ever.
