Hi CoCo.
I knew a brother who claimed to be of the anointed and partook at memorials.
He died recently. A very decent man. Very stubborn and self-minded, though.
And if he thought you were full of it he'd tell you right off. He had a hand-shake
like a vice and a rib crunching hug. He didn't seem very intellectual, more like
a regular Joe, and faithful to any WT doctrine in current vogue. There were
rumors at my Congregation that he'd stopped partaking. But they weren't
true, he partook till the year he died, I asked the brother who gave his
memorial-funeral talk. He didn't leave his wife with much of anything. She's
now a widow, she never partook of the emblems. She's in her mid 60's and
he was around the same age. I'm not sure if he ever wrote the Society but
maybe I recall him saying something about "checking with Bethel". He was
never an elder or a ministerial servant. He had a strong love for people in
the organization and a lot of people put up with his quirky ways because
he was easy to talk to, and very approachable with constant big grin and
squinty smiley eyes. (If you'd put him in a red suit and hat he'd make a perfect
Santa Claus :-) He was very zealous for field service and talked to anyone
and everyone.
