   Friend james, is this your attempt at "theocratic warfare",ie. lying for   
   the jw fvatican to save its face?   
      
   Friend james is really saying the jw vatican has no communion; but is a lie   
   by using another word, frequency,  or nose count of participants excusable?   
   A wiki   
   entry:   
      
   ..."observing the Lord's Evening Meal, or Memorial.^[31]"   
      
   ...   
      
   "Of those who attend the Memorial, a small minority worldwide partake of   
   the unleavened bread and wine."   
      
   Over to you friend james, may the word dance continue; but toward the truth   
   if you please.
