so, its a simple meal, wt trying to deflect away the questions about the elephants in the room.
no record in the bible the apostles celebrating it later, until paul writing about it.
jesus commanding it to be celebrated every year.?
Think about the Watchtower message? The Governing Body spends half it's time telling people not to think.
And I'm with you by the way, their take on the Eucharist is convoluted. It's so weird watching people pass a plate of bread and a cup of wine around the room with nobody eating or drinking.
at the talk today the speaker was bloveating about paradise and how we will need to teach the ones being resurrected gods ways.
ofcourse we all know that the resurrection will start just a few years after the big a so that everyone can be taught the truth and the big j’s ways before satan is released at the end of the thousand years to test everyone after of course they have grown to perfection and then can truly be tested as perfect as adam.
revelations chapter 20 starting in verse 4 thier bible but notice verse 5 ; and i saw thrones and those who sat on them were given authority to judge.
I guess that's the best they can do when the verse so blatantly contradicts their doctrine. *shrug*
according to a recent filing, the watchtower has ordered reddit to give them the name of one of their posters who has used their right of free speech.
they are calling it copyright infringement.
but, we all know this is just another routine "hit" ordered by the watchtower mafia.
Feel that Christian love.

"keep worshipping jehovah when under ban" - july 2019 watchtower.
in other words "get your ass kicked inspite of promises never realised".. or.
"keep getting ass kicked as this is proof of gods love".
The article's got all the telltale tropes we know so well. Anybody else see the story where a nameless couple stops working when the government bans Jehovah's Witnesses, and the wife quits a good-paying job to pioneer even though they got a young kid? Then a nameless Elder says that the ban attracted people's attention and so inactive Witnesses came back and got 'reactivated.' What are they, gift cards?
Does anybody else think that besides Russia the Governing Body fears more governments banning Jehovah's Witnesses for failing to protect the victims of child sex abuse? I might be reading into it but I'm not sure I am. I got that vibe from a mention of governments spreading false stories.

It mostly comes down to money, American Witnesses make less on average than other Christians, Pew published a study a while back showing that, and so a congregation can't afford to make their Kingdom Halls ornate; and like Bad Wolf said what money Witnesses do offer up goes right to the top. The Governing Body even demanded halls empty out their bank accounts except 5k and send the remainder to help with 'building kingdom hall's (i.e., to Warwick) back in what, 2016? 5k doesn't leave much wiggle room for pillars or painting if you need to fix up the roof or replace some windows.
That being said where I live I've seen some nice Kingdom Halls, nothing like a basilica or synagogue, but gardens grow around the property, they put ottomans in the foyer, they frame the TVs in the sanctuary with wood paneling, the carpet's sleek and colorful, those kind of little touches that go a long way. Credit where credit's due.
