question for some of the old-timers in the congregation.
did those who professed to be of the anointed and partook of the bread, did they break off a piece of the bread and then eat it; or did they take the whole piece and eat it?
Very interesting. In prior years, the whole cracker was served and just a piece of the cracker was broken off and eaten.
This current governing body, do they all follow the same procedure when they partake? I.e., break a piece off or eat the whole piece,

Here is another question. Has anyone of you ever observe a governing body member partake of the emblems?
If so, did he take a piece from the plate and just pinch off a bit of it and eat it. Or, did he put the whole piece in his mouth without breaking it.

My title may have confused some of you. No one eats the whole loaf. The bread is normally broken into small pieces before being served. Some will take just a pinch of one of the pieces and eat it.

Huh? Blondie, the bread is already broken into pieces when served.
I'm interested. You have probably seen those who profess to be of the anointed partake. Can you please describe what you have seen?

Nathan Natas - please, describe how you saw it being done. Was the bread always broken into pieces before being served?

Village Idiot - thanks for responding. Your friend broke one of the pieces and then partook of it.
Some who partake will pick up one piece of the bread-pinch off a piece of it and then eat it (they do not take the whole piece). Others, will take a whole piece, put it in their mouths and eat it.

any elder has never asked me that question so far but i want to be prepared to answer that question if any of them ask me that question in the future.
i hope that they will never ask me that question.
any suggestions on how to answer that question would be very much appreciated.
there are many on this site that do not believe that jehovah truly exists; that he is not a real being.
but, he is as real as next breath you draw into your nostrils.. some of you say that there is no evidence that he exists.
yet, none of you can prove that he does not exits.. cofty, (you come to mind), i appreciate that you have stated, without reservation, that you do not believe that god exists.. yet, you cannot prove it.. hope in jehovah..
The same is true TOffTC. If believing in Yahweh and his earthly theocratic kingdom rings his bell, GREAT. At least he's got the guts to come on a board like this with the equivalent of a “Kick Me!” sign on his back.
Coldsteel,
Thanks for the laugh!
