This decline is vividly seen in the number of Jehovah's Witnesses who partook of the eucharistic elements during the Society's annual observance of the Last Supper (only members of the anointed class may partake during this service): in 1999 the members of the anointed class numbered only 8,755.
There are, however, several additional reasons for this reorganization that are not being elucidated by the Watchtower Society: the Society is almost certainly responding to its failed doctrines regarding the anointed class, and the Society is protecting its assets in light of governmental fines and potential litigation.

 Do Cults Follow The Same Patterns?
In others like the Mormons, Worldwide Church of God and Jehovah's Witnesses, the family is seen as valuable, but dissenters from within the family must be quickly exposed, or the judgment of the "apostate" will also fall upon the head of the one failing to report his mother, child, or best friend.

In time, however, the new organization faces accusation from the churches and others who become concerned over their methods of indoctrination as well as their isolation of the victim from his family and former friends.
