Is the JW Memorial ONLY about Jesus?

    I think it's more of a ploy to get inactive, disfellowshipped, and newbies to the hall.

    It has nothing * It has much more to do than this one event.

    * Now it's more realistic

    So you think this is like the imaginary 911 conspiracy of the JW's - or a desperate conclusion in order to spice up a new thread? (grin)

    Try going to this one and only meeting, and see what will happen next?

    The elders will come back and try to get you to go to more meetings.

    It's a once in a year event, a trap like no other.

    I actually got an invitation yesterday for the memorial. I heard a noise at the door and found a cheap looking flyer crumpled in my door frame. As I was looking at it a woman came back into the yard to identify herself as the one left it there. I said, "I'm glad you came back. Please put my address on your do not call list. I don't want to receive any visits from JWs." She asked the stupid question, "do you know anything about JWs?" Obviously I know something about them, since I asked for them NOT to call. that's my two cents worth - a desperate attempt to add something to the thread.

    Gonna have to put you on the "do not add to this thread list" in that case. j/k.

    Insight Volume 2 p. 268 Lord's Evening Meal
    "The Memorial, also an anniversary, would appropriately be held only on Nisan 14."

    Check a Jewish Calendar, and see what date it is Monday night after sunset.

    It,s Nisan 14 Gary. That I know.

    But what I mean, is the JW's use this event for much more than just the memorial.

    It's their way to bring inactive, dfd, and newbies to the future meetings.

    But Jesus got left out of it in 1934 or so:

    "Those who are his followers should participate not only in feeding upon him..not only partaking of the merit of his blood, his sacrifice but in laying down their lives in service of him....How precious these are to those who rightly in tune with the Lord" CTR "Herald" 1915. In otherwords EVERYONE who loves Jesus partakes.

    Then in 1934:Witnesses are first admonished to NOT participate in accepting communion unless they are "proclaiming the message of God in connection with the plagues". Now we have the first admonisment that the emblems are not for all Christians and that there are "levels" of Christianity. This will be fine-tuned late.

    So what happens to all those who mistakemly partook following the sage advice of "Pastor" CTR? Are they doomed?

    Suck it Bethel. To claim that it's even the same religion that it was in 1915 "when God selected it as his representive on earth" is enough to make one laugh. 180 degree doctrinal reversals are par for the course.
