  Do KHs lock their doors when meeting starts now?

  my still in wife informed me this morning that she must be on time to the meeting as they are locking the door when it starts now.. i said that's crazy.

  she said it's because of the times we are living in.. we live in a rural area and crime isn't terrible though it's worse than it used to be.. i told her if that's the way it is then why bother leaving the house at all?.

  she said they are just trying to be safe.. is this a thing now?

  Imagine if a church locked it's doors.

  Imagine it happened a few years in the past and all the head wagging the Jay Dubs would be doing.

  I guess Jah's Holy Spirit isn't enough to protect his congregation anymore.

  If they are worried about governments clamping down on them, arent they supposed to go after Babylon the Great first? Hmmm.
  

  I am not comfortable being locked in a building.

  Something about this strikes me as very VERY bad.

  Heb. 1:2-3 Proof we should worship Jesus?

  by NikL in

  jw.org believes that jesus is not god but a separate entity.

  let's go with that for the time being.

  in the referenced scriptures the writer of hebrews says that jesus "sustains all things by the word of his power" and has been "appointed heir of all things".

  In the referenced scriptures the writer of Hebrews says that Jesus "sustains all things by the word of his power" and has been "appointed heir of all things".
  So, even if Jesus IS NOT part of a Trinity, he is the heir. Just like Queen Elizabeth was the heir to the throne from her Father King George VI.
  Once he is "heir of all things", all things become HIS.
  He also sustains "all things" through his word.
  In light of these scriptures alone it seems to me he deserves our worship.
  He certainly deserves more than JW.ORG are inclined to give him.

  Have you ever "partaken" at the memorial

  What is the memorial?

  The memorial is where JWs celebrate the fact that Jesus died.

  Whereas most of Christianity celebrates his ressurection.

  The observance consists of a talk followed by a passing of the bread and wine. Only those that are "going to heaven" are supposed to partake. The rest just observe.

  The problem I have ...among a ton of others, is that I can't find any scripture that says ONLY 144,000 are supposed to partake.

  If it's NOT in the bible and people pass on the emblems, are they symbolicly rejecting Jesus sacrifice?

  They would go where the spirit inclined them to go.​—Ezek. 1:20.

  Jesus has appointed the ‘faithful slave’ to be the only channel for dispensing spiritual food. (Matt. 24:45-47) Since 1919, the glorified Jesus Christ has been using that slave to help his followers understand God’s own Book and heed its directives. By obeying the instructions found in the Bible, we promote cleanness, peace, and unity in the congregation. Each one of us does well to ask himself, ‘Am I loyal to the channel that Jesus is using today?’ Jehovah’s written Word acquaints us with the heavenly part of his organization. For example, the prophet Ezekiel received a vision in which the heavenly part of God’s organization is represented by a celestial chariot. (Ezek. 1:4-28) With Christ and the holy angels about to destroy this wicked world, Jehovah’s chariot is rapidly moving toward the vindication of his sovereignty and the sanctification of his holy name! w16.11 3:9, 10
