Jehovah's Witnesses invited me to commemoration
A pair of senior Jehovas knocked on my door this morning , they were a very nice older couple and after some usual small talk handed me a phamplet to an invite for a gathering to commemorate Jesus' death.
I usually don't even answer the door for people that peddle their religion. I actually use to get downright nasty at them. I believe in God and Jesus and doing right by others but I go about things in my own way.

I have actually given thought to attending this gathering as I think it might be educaational and interesting.

Should I stay or should I go??????

Any input would be appreciated.

I say go. If you don't want to join their religion you don't have too. But their is nothing wrong with you experiencing it for ur self. Rather than wondering by what others tell you. :)

Don't waste your time. I was doing an in home study of their booklet "What the Bible Really Says" (learned a lot) when this time of year rolled around. I got an invite, and decided to check it out.

What I "witnessed" were roughly 300 people passing the bread and wine around and passing on partaking, as they only allow the "elect bretheren" (living members of the 144,000) to partake. Foolishness.

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses invited me to commemoration
no.

they are very clear and convincing with their theology. black and white answers for every question. and they use their version of the Bible to back themselves up.

to anyone untrained in doctrine they will seem correct. they are not.

Furthermore, if you do go, they will ride you like a circus pony to get you even more involved in their crap.

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses invited me to commemoration
I am agnostic but as it turns out my best friends here in Omaha are all Jehovah's witnesses.If I need help they are always there,they are some of the kindest folks that I have ever known and also the most trustworthy.They have never ever tried to force their beliefs on me and vice versa.I was invited to the event and will try to go next year.It has to do with Passover.Apparently anyone who thinks they may be one of the 144 ,000 can take the bread and wine.My girlfriend says she has never seen anyone take it in all these years. My friend have a very literal interpretation of the bible and I believe in reincarnation and the separation of the soul from the body.We agree to disagree on some things but have some very lively discussions at times.BTW never buy Christmas presents for these guys as they don't believe in Christmas at all.The last supper seems to be the only occasion that they have a real get together for.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me"

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses invited me to commemoration
Jehovah's witness's and Mormons follow 33rd degree Freemasons Charles Taze Russell and Joseph Smith.

The JW translation of the bible (they're told to never question the accuracy of the translations done by a small group of men who also tell them to trust government and pay your taxes) the New World Translation has Yahushua reincarnating instead of ressurection. They've got small issues like sheol figured out but the important doctrines have been seriously corrupted on purpose.

The low level members actually are genuinely good people. But higher up its definetly a cult, but maybe to experience it once wouldn't be so bad - but I agree with your stance, don't let them push anything on you.

Yupp were even here passing out the invites. I'm thinking about going and bringing my own bread and wine just to see the reaction I get ;-)
Now where can I find a good wine on this Island.....

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses invited me to commemoration
Go its really interesting. I am not a JW but a friend of mine is and she invited me to go. I was impressed with their knowledge of the bible, its awesome. They pass around a goblet of wine but noone drinks from it. It just represents christs blood or something. I only ever went the once, its not for me as I am a different faith. Go it is interesting and they dont seem to hassle you to join. They only do this at easter. Its very special to them
