When you get to the point of criticizing someones worship to God; that's a sin in itself
I'm not a JW and never was one. I attended one meeting at a Kingdom hall were they spent 3/4 of the meeting criticizing other people's worship of God. By your own comment, the Watchtower sinned.
after reading this, i just called a few other faders and my dissassociaters in my town, Were going to partake together at my house tonight in loyalty to Jesus's command at John chapter 6:53, and 54 where it states that "unless you eat and drink of me you shall have no life in yourself.....he that eats and drinks of me shall have everlasting life..." SOOOOOOO just to mention, NO this was not told to the annointed, it was told to a crowd of JEWS. So, those of you who ARE going... think about it, maybe you should take it!!!! I was a zombie for seven years and was never told that verse! oh, but when your there, you WILL be read 1 corinth 11:27-29. I thankfully got my toddler out of going because she's sick. She will be partaking tonight too!!!
I noticed this absurd ritual they perform for the first time this year.
The brother giving the Recruitment Speech sits down in the front row when the Passers are passing around the crackers & grape juice. Then when the Passers are done they all come sit in the front row and one of them hands a plate of crackers/glass of (babylon the) Grape juice to him. Then he gets up and hands the plate/glass to one of the Passers, and they all pass it down the row of them selves. Meanwhile Brother Speaker goes to the end of the row and waits for them all to finish passing it. Then he puts it back on the table, and all the Passers get up and return to their seats in the audience.
The irony, of course, is that not one of them actually takes the stuff so what the hell is the point of all this rigamarole? They sure love to tear Catholics limb from limb about all their rituals and traditions; but that ritual there is just as bad as anything Catholics have ever thought up.
Yes I'm going, but I'll be dressed up as Jesus Christ complete with long hair and beard and a crown of thorns on my head and a blood stained robe, just to freak them all out
" But I'm telling you I'm Jesus Christ ! " as I am being escorted out of the hall by two burly attendants.
I dodged the bullet another year.

ROFL! Please take pictures. I would pay money to see that.
It's okay, doll. I'll comfort you later, I promise. WarlockI'm going tonight....... Lord knows I don't want to......but since my parents don't shun me, I figure I can bite the bullet for an hour if it makes them happy.
Plus, going to the Memorial and listening to the insane reasoning coming from the platform, reminds me of why I left in the first place.
And finally, it gives me the opportunity to write a report on here as to how many times "Jesus" is mentioned, as opposed to how many times "the little flock" or "the remnant" or "the F&DSC" is mentioned.
If memory serves, over the last 3 or 4 years, I don't think they even mention the words "Calvary" or "Golgatha". There's no mention of the Betrayal, Jesus praying in the Garden, or even his final moments of death. All that takes a back seat and is minor in importance compared to 'who gets to take the bread and wine.'
Less than 3 hours to go...........
I will never set foot in a hall again... and Childofgod has done a great job explaining why. Never will another JW even try and make me feel guilty that I no longer serve men, the men called such a foolish name as the "faithful and discreet slave".
They are from their father, the father of the lie... as their lies have now gone up to the heavens.
Even though I no longer believe in Satan, he is a great metaphor for dishonesty... I've never seen a group as dishonest as the JWs and I will not even let them begin to think I agree with the crap they spread daily.
I'm with Dawg and childofgod, this was the irst year I have missed and haven't made a meeting in over a month.
I will never set foot in another KH the rest of my life.

Well, I went last night...It was , well...ok really . Nothing to write about. The numberes were more than for a normal meeting but not overflowed. I saw nobody partake. Even the dub family said that the talk seemed flat and unecessarily complicated . It was all rather a damp squib.
I have always agreed with somebody who said how silly it is for the servers and speaker to serve on each other seperately. They have just carried the stuff around the Hall, they may easily partake if they want to, When I took it one year I tried to change that, but the B of E strongly objected.
