If I did NOT have the sense of humor that I do Billius T. Pettifog 46, and had YOUR sense of humor (if any, which has not to date exposed itself to forum view ...) I might take your intended, malicious, and vulgar insult personally, and take appropriate action.
You have not identified who I am with your malicious, vulgar libel ... but with your own words ... you sure have identified  who YOU are.
The phrase for that is "Undressing yourself in public.", to which I have no objection.
In fact ... I encourage it.
.... always good for a laugh!
... and it does give all interested people  a perspective of how to view the REST of your alleged logic and reasoning.

I personally do not trust a Brother who does not drink alcohol.
He may be COMPLETELY and absolutely trustworthy, as most are ... but I have found that alcohol makes a person more uninhibited, and it is then that their CURRENT "true colors" are more likely to be shown.
To be fair ... I have scared off quite a few people when I drink.
It saves BOTH of us a lot of wasted time and effort.
It's a "sword that cuts both ways".
( I no longer drink alcohol because it interferes with my heart medications ... but I am STILL a Grumpy Old Man.)

I get that same funny feeling when I put slices of lunch meat, with the pimentos, and that ring of fat around the edges, into my shoes.
When I walk around ... I feel ... funny!

Doesn't look like an edited video to me.

Quite the contrary. This makes him even more interesting! You can knock my door any time Bro.Morris!

I have often thought that "spiritual preparedness" might involve stockpiling several  cases of Scotch.
 

Plenty quotations etc above dealing with this, but nothing really specific.
My understanding is that whilst there are true anointed Christians with a heavenly hope still on earth, in the flesh, they will celebrate the Lords evening meal, regardless of the stream of time or the relative position of Jesus Christ in the heavens. The only time this specific celebration will end is when there are no more anointed Christians left here on earth to celebrate it.
The scriptural basis for this is at :  Matt.24:31;  2Thess.4:14-17;  1Cor.11:26.
Although Jesus is ruling from the heavens as Jehovah's Messianic king, there are several executive actions he will be taking in the near future, one of which includes the transference of the full number of his 144,000 companions to where he is, in the heavens, to share with him in his heavenly rule. Once that is accomplished, the last Memorial (as we know it) will have been celebrated. As that transference has yet to take place, the Memorial is still being celebrated..

Melinda:  
You provided SO MUCH information, I faded out.
Can you please tell me what from your posting SPECIFICALLY answered my SPECIFIC question?
Thanks!

Interesting point, one in which I have also questioned concerning the jws. This semantics of word play of parousia vs coming is only used when the shoe fits whenever I have spoken to a jw. If we look at the context of Jesus' words in Matthew, we see His proclamation against the thought of invisible observance . 
 
Matthew 24:23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
 
Here Jesus is saying that if someone tells you "oh, He's is in the inner rooms, or somewhere else that you cannot see right now", it is a lie and for us not to believe it. This is because He told us that there WILL be false prophets who say such things. 
 
Not to mention the whole 1914 as His parousia and being enthroned king. After Jesus resurrection He made this statement" 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 
If at this time when He was with the disciples after His resurrection He had all authority, what then is there for Him to acquire in 1914? Isn't "All authority" already the qualities of a king? What more authority is there to gain if He has it all? 

Here is another question.
If Christ has ALREADY come to Earth as an invisible presence, and is ruling as King NOW ......  starting in 1914 ...... why are we still celebrating the Memorial?

I used to work on a computer every day that had a stainless steel hard drive as big as a car steering wheel, and NO monitor.
The output was on  a wide bodied dot matrix printer with holes on both sides, with paper on a continuous roll below the table.
In 1971 it cost $26,000, and was as big as a desk.

Wow! just wow.... 
Incredible place to be at the right moment with a camera. 
Serious photographer.

Before they stopped making those car seats, they started coming out with a warning sticker "Do not fold up car seat, with baby inside."

Well…I fully expected you NOT to answer me because you said….
Besides, I left the  comment with questions, which you seem to be ignoring.  
 No appreciable kinks in the gathering of the anointed Body of Christ, you say.  When you observe the Memorial, why is it that all JWs attend? The only ones  gathered for the last supper with Christ were God's chosen ones to be the foundation of the Temple/Body of Christ.    If all believers in Christ were to be there, Jesus would have performed a miracle to feed every one of them.   Instead, scattered among all "nations", the remnant of "living stones" of God's Temple must observe a meal signifying the New Covenant with God's priesthood, with "Gentile elders" handing them the emblems.  
Here's a question.  Is this scriptural?
 
 

Oh geez... I remember these....and notice no seat belts?

How did we ever survive those decades? LOL
