    If I recall correctly , JWs teach that Jesus returned and has been present since 1914. If this is true, then why do they keep observing the memorial?

    *** 1 Corinthians -26 ***
    Keep doing this, as often as YOU drink it, in remembrance of me. 26 For as often as YOU eat this loaf and drink this cup, YOU keep proclaiming the death of the Lord, until he arrives.

    Where do you get off quoting the bible elsewhere, you big fat atheist you! Great point, but you know the witnesses. they spin that whole invisible presence vs. physical arrival thing any way they want.

    If I feel like quoting the bible, I'll quote the bible.... if I feel like quoting Grim's Fairy Tales, I'll quote Grim's Fairy Tales.

    Now get yo' ass back to Bethel and print me some more toilet paper!

    also the text which says that you must 'eat his flesh and blood' to get resurrected
    on the last day - which is the general resurrection. So, why can't 'other sheep'
    partake?

    actually, given the confusion created by their change on the parable of the sheep
    and goats, they owe everybody an explanation for what this arrival stuff means.
    How is the 'faithful slave' appointed if he hasn't arrived yet?

    It's a mess
