they try to do everything else so absolutely correct and perfectly matching on that night.. jerusalem is shrouded in the soft light of dusk as the full moon rises over the mount of olives.

in a large furnished room, jesus and the 12 are reclining at a prepared table.

"i have greatly desired to eat this passover with you before i suffer," he says.

Primarily, though, the Lord’s Evening Meal is a communion meal. Those involved are (1) Jehovah God, who arranged for the ransom, (2) Jesus Christ, “the Lamb of God,” who provided the ransom, and (3) Jesus’ spiritual brothers. By partaking of the bread and wine, the latter show that they are fully united with Christ. (John 1:29; 1 Corinthians 10:16, 17) They also show that they are in “the new covenant” as spirit-anointed disciples of Jesus. These are the ones who will reign with Christ in heaven as kings and priests.—Luke 22:20; John 14:2, 3; Revelation 5:9, 10.

Jehovah’s Witnesses, along with millions of interested ones, enjoy observing the Lord’s Evening Meal in their own language wherever they live. They delight in improving their understanding of the meaning and value of Christ’s death. Such truths are worthy of contemplation and discussion throughout the year. The Witnesses find that observing the Memorial is the best way to keep remembering the profound love of Jehovah God and of his Son, Jesus Christ. It helps them to “keep proclaiming the death of the Lord, until he arrives.”—1 Corinthians 11:26.

26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes.

There should be a law against mind f***ing.

Would the elders wash your feet on the memorial night? Why don't they ?

Jerusalem is shrouded in the soft light of dusk as the full moon rises over the Mount of Olives. In a large furnished room, Jesus and the 12 are reclining at a prepared table. "I have greatly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer," he says. ( Luke 22:14, 15 )

After a while the apostles are surprised to see Jesus get up and put his outer garments to one side. Taking a towel and a basin of water, he begins washing their feet. What an unforgettable lesson in humble service!— John 13:2-15 .

Another thing, I always wondered why do the JW pass the wine and bread around in the first place?
Why don't they just say whoever wants to partake come forward? S ave a lot of time, no? The whole passing and then rejecting is just really weird.

Jesus never commanded people to watch other people eat bread and drink wine in his memory. Jesus didn't command people to observe the last supper! He commanded them to participate in the last supper! Observe and participate are antonyms.

23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread;
24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes. Got hit by relative, about how bad I am not going to da memorial. Just blowing off steam.

Memorial Rejects Jesus? Maybe Not.

by cameo-d in

the primary role of the holy grail in christian mythology is the cup used by jesus to inaugurate the communion celebration during the last supper.

other stories say that the holy grail was a cup used by joseph of arimathea to catch jesus' blood when he was pierced by a spear during the crucifixion.

often, it's the same cup in both situations.

Hey, who knows.

After all they took Jehovah's name out of the bible, according to mother WT.

So how can we trust any of it?

Why don't JWs follow Christ's ENTIRE command at Matt. 28:19-20?

jws take a great deal of pride in the fact that they follow jesus' command at matt.

go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit,teaching them to observe all the things i have commanded you.

i am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.. .

moomanchu

That's easy they make the rules, period, the end.

The Great Commission

16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in [a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

There's a scripture where the GB limits its application

to the 144,000, because Jesus was talking to his close disciples.

I can't remember what it was right now.

Why don't they do that here?

Also how does Jesus come back to us in 1914 if he was with us always?

I guess I should re-read the first sentence I typed. lol
