    I ask you all would anyone of you throw a party and have everyone atttending just to look at the refreshments? Would you invite people to a meal only to not be allowed to eat?

    Absurd you say!

    Weird question, right!!!

    The Big Reveal!!:

    This is what happens in the memorial season amongst jdunmbs, right? Millions are invited but only to look at refreshments, never to eat a meal but invited to The lords evening meal!

    All be warned, tis the crazy season soon,be prepared to receive invites, visits and love-bombing for nought!

    I don't recall seeing anywhere in the Bible that Jesus followers went around inviting the general public to the Lords Evening Meal. JW's don't know what to say when you ask them to show you where they got the idea that they had to do this.

    What gets me is they have to spend half the talk telling why no one can partake! Instead of focusing on the event itself

    RULES & REGULATIONS

    Jesus had only 12 members attend and partake in the last meal and Memorial. There were no observers in the room. Each disciple was given bread to eat and wine to drink. There is no mention of other people in the room who couldn't eat or drink the last meal. This was only for those who would partake of this meal.

    Why does the WTS feel that observers need to be at this yearly event? Why can't the Elders who(supposedly) have any 144,000 in their congregations have a memorial with only these members? If Jesus wanted observers he would have had some at his last meal and requested that they be present from then on.

    I saw one article where they mentioned that they split the desserts afterwards since they were very large portions.

    Good points Z!

    Just a refresher:

    And taking a cup, he offered thanks and gave it to them, saying: “Drink out of it, all of you, for this means my ‘blood of the covenant, which is to be poured out in behalf of many for forgiveness of sins. - Mt. 26: 27,28 NWT

    The purpose of the WT Memorial service is to get people to reject a deal with Jesus for the "forgiveness of sins". They have been very effective in doing so.

    No Apostle or Christian practiced or preached anything different from the above scripture until the WT came along with their "new light". The apostles taught that all peoples were invited to partake of the contract offered by Jesus for the forgiveness of sins in the scripture above.

    Just so that everyone would know that this offer couldn't be changed until the Lords return, they wrote this stern warning:

    even if we or an angel out of heaven were to declare to you as good news something beyond the good news we declared to you, let him be accursed. - Gal. 1:8 NWT

    JW's need to decide which they believe more, the bible or the WT.... because on this issue they couldn't be more opposed to one another.

    SB. wtBtS inc does not want sins to be forgiven, how can they have people slave for them for a 1000 years to buy back their perfection through works? and

    there were no anointed partaking at the last supper, only members with an earthly hope. The only non-partaker, jesus was the only anointed, and he abstained.

    As usual, wtBtS inc has it totally wrong/

    When we were active JW's, we never questioned our spectator status. We just obeyed what the self-proclaimed 'slave' told us we had to do - "respectfully observe." Those two words appear in the same Bible verse as "immortal soul" & "holy trinity."

    TFG: During the Memorial talk I always wait for the moment when the theme of the "ransom because of the talking snake."-- switches magically-- to the partaking "firstborn" only to be directly redeemed.

    hence entitled to sip and gulp and crunch and munch.
