partake!!!
jdubs WANT people to partake during the memorial, just not themselfs. they believe they are unworthy and some fear partaking is asking for death if they are unworthy.
when they see that random people partake and don't immediatley burn up or turn into satan, they may question why they don't partake.
jdubs use pauls words to make you feel unworthy. Jesus never said anything about a "special heavenly calling feeling inside you".
and if you partake, stand up so everyone sees! no secrets.
last one i attended the speaker used a illustration about a wedding party.
he said "when someone plans a wedding and sends out invitations and you receive one, you don't immediatly expect that you are in the wedding party. you are only going to the wedding to celebrate, not to partake."
ya right. i remember eating food at most wedding receptions i've been to, not just the wedding party got fed.
the speaker had a blank look in his eyes the whole talk. he was a born in who had a huge family and he was 35 years old. he just was following the formula put down by many others before him.
