    What is the difference between one of the annointed and R&F witness? Seems the only difference is that they get to eat and drink one more time during the year compared to a regular witness. If they were so special wouldn't God use them differently than a R&F witness? I would like to see a comment from a witnesses perspective.

    The 144,000 are special to Jehovah's Witnesses because it is taught that they are the only ones that have a heavenly hope. So, in theory those of the 144,000 that are now alive are supposedly set apart as those receiving a special reward and they are the only ones who partake of the emblems at the yearly Memorial of Christ's death. In actuality, though, there is no discernable distinction between them and the rank and file in the congregation and the only ones of the 144,000 who enjoy special privileges and distinction are members of the Governing Body.

    Yes. They're all deluded.
