    It's tonight? Make sure and bring this!!

    Seriously, I'm REALLY good at aging makeup. It'd be fun to make up a bunch of people to go and partake at the same hall. Mess with the folks, mess with the stats.

    Just thought of something. When the Bible says to "do this in remembrance of me", it always directly refers to the act of partaking the bread and wine. It never refers to the act of gathering together on a holy "memorial" day. Example: 1 Cor 11:26--For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. So technically, only the ones who are partaking are really following the words of Christ.

    The once a year, in mid-week thing is way off in the spirit the partaking of bread and wine was meant to be. The emblems really should be passed every week, as a reminder of why we are Christians and what Jesus did for us. This enables true Christians to be reminded of the true honesty and forgiveness we are should display toward ourselves and toward those we love.

    The bread and wine are only for those who have the heavenly calling. It is a very personal relationship between our Master Christ Jesus and his annointed followers. At the "last supper" as it is commonly referred to in Christendom, our Superlative Exemplar commanded his disciples to partake of the emblems. THEY ARE NOT INTENDED FOR THOSE WHO HAVE AN EARTHLY HOPE. The best those of you who are of the great crowd, or who aspire to assist those of this Heavenly class can achieve, is that of having the privilage of assisting the Holy Ones, (as represented by the Governing Body of Jehovahs Witnesses) in spreading the life saving message of the "good news of coming destruction" to honest hearted ones in the ministry.

    With warm Christian Love,

    Scriptures?

    Just how do these Jehovah's Witness claim to have this hevenly calling they can't prove it at all, only the same old crap that they are programed to say that "only we can know or the substance there of."

    Come on how can anyone claim to be going to heaven based upon a wimsical feeling that they only can feel and that know one else can possibly feel and when so much hinges on them?

    As for me I will drink the wine and eat the bread, and I will not claim to be better than my brothers and sisters by puting myself in some special class, that hardly seems Christ like and what he our savor would have approved of.

    After I left Jehovah's Witnesses I associated with the Fort Worth Bible Student class. With the rest of the Bible Students I partook of the emblems two years in a row and nothing bad has happened to me.

    Awful crackers and the wine was worse.
