I should get alot of different oppinions here but that is what I want. I was looking up who should partake of the bread and wine, and who should conduct bible studies.
In the bible, Jesus does the last supper with his apostles. Some people call them saints now or annointed ones. He said do this in rememberance of me. How did it get to nowadays where JWs say its only the remnant that do this? Is it because he is just having a private discussion with his apostles? IF so, then when he says to the apostles, go making disciples, shouldn't it be just the appointed remnant or the ones overseeing congregations to do this also? He has been quoted as telling his people to teach their families but he never says to a nonapostle to go make disiples, or it would say disciples go make disciples. Don't the elders/ministerial servants get to put time in for every quick build, talks at the hall, paperwork for the hall, and time spent in meetings? I hardly ever see them out in actual service and I've wondered why they get so much time.This I don't think is right either, since they aren't out making deciples. And, I haven't seen them bring in many new members either. In the congregation that I quit, the only elder that did bring in new ones they ran him out.
Please, if you are going to quote a scripture, make sure that the whole chapter backs up that one scripture. There are too many people just quoting a scripture with another one from another place and then when I look it up, there is nothing in the chapter that backs up the meaning that the person is trying to point out.
