Just because I know it won't be read tonight, anyone who is going to the memorial this evening should seriously consider John chapter 6:53-57 before hand. Go ahead, research it in your little watchtower cd's... they will attempt to explain it away in with it's "broader" meaning and not its "literal" application. The truth is apparent to anyone with OPEN eyes, Jesus instructed anyone who wanted to have a relationship with him to participate in communion, (yes you do need to evaluate your heart as 1 corinth 11:27-29 says, but this was not told to prevent you from partaking if you were not "annointed" it was said to make sure you knew the seriousness of your relationship with Christ) The verses in John were not told to annointed ones, they were told to a crowd of Jews, the "John class", the "other sheep". You sure you want to pass that plate up? Let me know what you do.....
if your considering the memorial tonight, read this!

53 Accordingly Jesus said to them: “Most truly I say to YOU, Unless YOU eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, YOU have no life in yourselves. 54 He that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life, and I shall resurrect him at the last day; 55 for my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 He that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I in union with him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me forth and I live because of the Father, he also that feeds on me, even that one will live because of me.

burningbridges - Yes I did the above and I did accept Jesus's invitation tonight, but not at the JW Kingdom Hall. I met with a few others at the home of one of them.
