As is my custom (20+ years), I attended the annual Memorial of Jehovah’s Witnesses (JW). Once a year the Witnesses celebrate what most Christians refer to as communion. I’ll give a short summary of what usually happens at this ceremony and then will describe the events of the evening.

They also have a later meeting at 9:00 to accommodate everyone who wants to attend.
