After a 20 year absence I attended the Memorial this evening. Not surprisingly, nothing has really changed after two decades, as far as the Memorial Talk is concerned. The JWs were very friendly even though I wore an American Flag pin in my lapel and identified myself as a devout Anglican. I sat in the back so was able to see everything. It looked like I was the only one to partake, everyone else passed up a ticket to heaven. The speaker said that only one in ten congregations has a partaker. Guess they were lucky tonight, provided they count me. Do they count Anglo-Catholics as partakers? Anyway I sense that the JWs are abandoning the hard sell approach of earlier times in favor of the "isn't this a nice religion" format. Though I have no intention of ever going back to the KH, change seems to be in the wind. Let us hope that the JWs will follow the lead of the World Wide Church of God and make some positive changes for the good of all.
