Truth seeker,
What a great topic.
No joke, I am truly humbled by how damn smart and tuned in some of you folks are.
Great Scripture, and makes absolute sense.
When I was young, 20 and 21, I was in prison for the draft. I studied over 2000 hours in one year out of the JW library that had accumulated at the prison for several decades.
I was truly on a spiritual 'high', and sometimes at night I would wonder whether or not I should partake of the emblems. The WT was clear that the door was shut in 1935, but I felt like an adopted son of God. But I gave in. For years I would nearly cry inside at Memorials as I felt like I should partake, but I didn't. They shut the heavens up to me.
Now, I realize that the WT never had a link to God or Heaven and I should have partaken back then. I partake now, not in recognition that I am going to heaven or part of a special class of people, but because I have accepted Christ as my SAVIOR. Where I spend eternity is not mine to take.
But---I sure enjoyed your post and your reasoning.
