Hello to you all:
Think about it.......you are right they posted 5 bodyguards at the back of the hall. I guess one for each of us.. And we were going to be a threat how? We had never done anything before, don't need to. Their scared enough as it is. My sons are grown-up now. Were never baptized inside therefore never disfellowshipped. None of the witnesses (only some that come only to the memorial in pants) even looked at my kids. I take that back. My sister-in-law who is disfellowshipped hugged them on the way in as we were freezing outside waiting to be allowed in.
As to going and partaking with them verses other churches. We have with others before when they heard of our story. They had always believed jws are a cult so they welcomed us to partake with them. We live in a small town so everybody knows everyone.
JWs are the only professing christian religion that never partakes and talks people out of doing it therefore shutting up the kingdom and denying the benefits of Christs sacrifice. Others do so either monthly, weekly annually or after confession, they at least have faith in it. And believe you need in to have life and forgiveness.
Because we have been raised from among them (jws) our families and old best friends who truly know the kind of loving family we were and tried our best are still there, this is where are main ministry is. But it is not limited to just them. Just as Jesus was sent to the house iof Israel but still performed miracles and good deeds to all even non-jews, we today do the same. LOVE NEVER FAILS.
Funny thats their yearly text. Think they'd get it?!
Dear palmtree, blessings to you...we partake as a family regularly at home. We need him everyday and want to stay in union with him constantly. So that is how we do it also. We go to the kingdom hall just for them, not that we need them to partake.
just a thought
love justmom (kim)
