yes, it's that time of year, once again, when the society starts reliving jesus' last few days on earth as a human.... in addition to all the propaganda about the 144,000 and only they being "allowed" to partake of jesus' blood and body at the annual jw deny christ ritual...another jw teaching, though not as dissected, is the teaching that judas iscariot left the room before the bread and wine were shared with the apostles.. it's important to jw doctrine that this be the case.
because only those who make up the true christian congregation, the annointed, the first of these the faithful apostles, are to partake of these emblems.
if jesus was already aware of judas' plan to betray him and yet judas was present for this new, important ritual, it would be rendered useless by his partaking.
It's amazing that something so important the scriptures are so confused and leave people guessing. And then people say that the all-powerful was the author of the Bible. Couldn't the Bible be crystal-clear?
I mean, if a book author will publish a book with so many guessing escenarios, I don't think he will even make it to the New York Times Bestselling list...

From Luke 22:19-21
19 Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: “This means my body which is to be given in ? YOUR ? behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” 20 Also, the cup in the same way after they had the evening meal, he saying: “This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood, which is to be poured out in ? YOUR ? behalf.
21 “But, look! the hand of my betrayer is with me at the table.
Doesn't this mean that Judas WAS during the Lord's Meal, when Jesus said: "T he hand of my betrayer is with me at the table"????

Correct! maninthemiddle. "If you are going to be that picky". They are crazy about the "after sun is down" but even that has it flaws. Crazy.
