    In a way, that would be somewhat dumb to have a membership reclamation drive targeted at the disfellowshipped “ones” because there may be a few of them who have learned TTATT, at least in the meantime, and would want to be partaking of the emblems just to make a public statement – thus inflating this year’s number of partakers all the more, and, in the process, showing the whole WT Memorial thing to be the farce which it really is.

    But, I mean, when you really think of it, . . . . just passing the emblems which supposedly represent the body and blood of the “Lord and Saviour” without partaking, unless you’re of a little supposed elite “class” of folks now only to be found within WT land and supposedly comprising a literal number which is representing symbolic numbers (i.e., 144,000 = literal, but the 12 tribes of Israel = symbolic), . . . . I mean, really now! The whole premise of their own take on things just smacks of contrived delusion pulled out of a black hat by its fanciful long ears. Ta-daaaa!

    They don't count everyone that partakes of the emblems anymore. Only the ones 'they' think are 'really' anointed.

    "The ones 'they' think are 'really' anointed. That's funny, Jehovah don't decide anymore...

    If a person is nuts and believe he or she is anointed let Jehovah tell them when they reach

    heaven gates.

    Do elders have specific direction to only count those that are "exemplary" good standing ones?

    After how some have been treated by elders in the matter of dfd it is just amazing that the society should be so stupid to think the dfd ones would even consider going back.

    A Watchtower article in 1991 came out inviting all DF and DA to come back. A letter to the BOE, said every September the BOE should have a meeting and discuss any of those known that are in the Territory, who are Inactive, DF or DA, should be contacted. But if they are known Apostates, or living a scandalous lifestyle, leave them alone.

    Every year when the CO came around he would make sure we have followed through on this directive and wanted a list those Elders who were assigned these calls.
