Dear Shelby,
Please listen to the advice from those who love you to take care of yourself.
Could you please ask your Lord how He can sanction any attendance at the "celebration" held by the WT/JW's ?
From my reading of the Gospels I would have thought the whole sham would have been more abhorrent to Him than the merchants in the Temple.
To attend is to say that it has some validity, how can your Lord give false validation to the JW's like that ?
Every time you or another of the Lord's brothers attends a JW memorial the JW's say in their mind "see So and So still believes it "
He is the Truth, what fellowship does He have with the Lie that is the WT ?

LV101, you are getting me mixed up with Shelby.
We're both Black or African-American women, but that is where it ends.
I'm not fit to empty Shelby's slop jar.
Shelby will surely understand that reference.
Peace to all as we reflect on the Master's great sacrifice.

Good morning Shelby,
I don’t come here much anymore but am glad I came this morning. I’m doing a study on who Jesus truly is, the Mediator, the New Covenant, the Memorial etc and couldn’t remember where the following verse was. You posted it so I thank you.
"SHUT UP THE KINGDOM OF THE HEAVENS BEFORE MEN."
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. Matthew 23:13
I plan to go to the Memorial. Having never been a witness I feel I need to experience it for myself; not hearing or reading it from someone else. Thankfully a friend, a former witness, is coming with me. It will be very difficult to watch people reject Christ. If God leads me I will ask why. Otherwise I’ll just observe. I won’t partake. I agree with Wobble on this. It’s a sham and I won’t participate in a sham. We will be celebrating communion at our church on Good Friday. In case someone still believes that it can only be observed once a year, the following verse:
"This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. 1 Cor 11:25-26
The more I study the real truth of Jesus vs what the Watchtower teaches the more saddened I am. The "Great Crowd" of the Watchtower are a people on the outside looking in, just like the Gentiles before they were grafted in. According to the Watchtower they don’t have Jesus as their Mediator, they aren’t in the New Covenant, they are not children of God, they are not brothers of Christ. I can go on and on. They are cheated of their inheritance.
I am thankful to God for answered prayer. My mom is no longer a witness after 37 years. I have never seen her as happy as she is now. She took communion for the first time in her life last year.

Hi Sylvia, Couldn't read your pm. Received the following so will try later.
I've got wine, will get bread later.
I've also got wine, will skip bread.
Guest, you have to try 2 or 3 times.
Also, try opening one you have already read, then try to open mine.
Weird, I know.
