Why is Jesus kept side stage ?

john 5 :39 ' 40 "you study the scriptures, because you think that in them you will find eternal life.

and these very scriptures speak about me!

yet you are not willing to come to me in order to have life.

"Anyone else feel as hot headed about this as I do ?"
Yes.
To be saved, according to the bible, one needs to be "in Christ". The bible says there is no other way.
But the WTS teaches that only the 144,000 are in Christ.
The only conclusion I can draw is that those of the "other sheep" are not saved, according to the bible.
How can they be saved if they themselves state that they are not "in Christ"?
How can they be saved if they went the the KH last night and did not partake?
"Jesus then said to them, I am telling you the truth : if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have life in yourselves."
There are many teachings of the WTS that are not biblical, this is just one of them. Maybe the worst one.

WHO ARE THEY TO STOP HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS!?

i find this as a way for my wife trying to avoid going to church with me on easter.. my wife has a meeting with the elders about her reinstatement sunday after the wt study, which is indeed true.

however, the only reason why she would go to church with me on easter is because i went with her to the memorial.

she tries to bargain her way out with this by she should go to church with me on good friday instead on easter.

"WHO ARE THEY TO STOP HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS!?"
That would be my question in light of this.
Romans 14:1-6
Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions. One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only.
The one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the one who does not eat is not to judge the one who eats, for God has accepted him.
Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.
He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God.

StoneWall,
Who will be the ones hearing? Who will be the ones thirsting? Who will be the ones with desire?
I think the bible teaches that only the called can hear and thirst and desire God.

John 10:16 Jesus says "I have other sheep......."
Notice that He called them sheep, not goats that he would turn into sheep, but sheep.

John 3:3
Jesus replied to him, "Truly, I tell you with certainty, unless a person is born from above he cannot see the kingdom of God."
John 6:44
"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him to life on the last day."
The word for word translation is "no one is able to be coming toward me......."

(1 John 2:27) But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

"But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. "
(1Co 2:14)
"There is none righteous, no, not one;
There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.
They have all turned aside;
They have together become unprofitable;
There is none who does good, no, not one."
(Romans 3:10-12)

1 Peter 2:8-9
"a stone they stumble over and a rock they trip on." They keep on stumbling because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do. But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people to be his very own and to proclaim the wonderful deeds of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."

Hebrews 9:15
"For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance."
