Though they can worm around it, you have made an excellent point that I have never heard before!
Were the first people to celebrate the memorial anointed.... no
That is significant.

S&R : also, when Jesus as recorded in John. 6,-- spoke of the drinking and eating of the SYMBOLIC blood and flesh, he was speaking to people with no inkling of a heavenly calling and he mentioned "everlasting life" (the material kind) not immortality the approved heavenly permanent life.
One has to give up everlasting life to gain immortality.
mP: yes, Abraham lied, but how was passing off Sarah as a close relative or "Sister" ,-- selling her as a prostitute??
If I introduce my wife at the meeting: " and this is Sister XYZ and we are married "n" years, --" am I lying? and
When jehovah is said to have intervened in the two cases you alluded to,
Was he interfering with a deal made by a pimp (Abraham) ??--or
was he protecting a marriage?
Marriages that were potentially always "sacred" see
Joseph's conviction, and the law written by "Moses".
so why are all Christians called Cristians?? anointed or followers of Christ THE annointed?

Abraham came back in 1925 according to Moe, Larry was showing Moe before Shemp took over in 1942. So it was the Larry/ Moe show. But it started with Curly. Now these dudes died and got sent to another planet accorting to Moe. Some think they went to "Uranus". Most of this info came from another poster here few years back, helped me to understand the nu light.....The Stooges..

mind blown - I believe your premise, starting point,
basis of your original question,
was are ony "anointed" people were suppose
to gather together and drink wine
and eat bread to symbolize unity with Jesus Christ.
If we go back to the words of Jesus at his
last passover, last meal,
Jesus himself made no rules about
"classes" or "exclusion" of
a certain "Class of Christian"
Jesus made no distinctions and created no classes.
Jesus said the often WT quoted
"other sheep I have which are not of this fold."
And then He immediately added that they would be
added into the fold and all become ONE.
There is no scripture where Jesus said there would be
a special group within a larger group.
At Pentecost Holy Spirit enabled Christians to be
able to communicate in foreign languages because
it was an occasion where Jews from all over the world
were gathered for celebration.
This does not mean that the experience of having
Holy Spirit or being part of the Body of Christ
waited until that event.
You are still assuming WT doctrines are sound, they are not.

Village Girl thank you, on this sunny day. I think that the discussions shows that MOST here do not assume that the WT BtS doctrines are sound,
to the contrary many have left, because they are not, or are based on the talking snake etc premise of original sin dogma. house of cards doctrines But
to debate and debunk the WT BtS BS (pardon violating rule 3 and the disrespect), we have to use WT terminology, concepts, constructs.
You can not collapse a house of cards unless you know and name your aces to pull.

Thanx all for participating.
Actually, when I walked away from the WTS, I never turned back nor gave it a thought. However, within the past few years a very close family member started studying and that's how I found JWN. So when the opportunity comes up, I try to bring up thought provoking points for them to ponder. Though it probably will not make a dent ( Fear Induced Grip the WTS has), I'll be damned if I'm gonna roll over.
Yes prologos, spot on!
