have you ever been to jw Memorial

[Mister Michael]

Just asking what was it like.

 

[Willie T]

Since we do that same thing every week, and JW's only do it once a year, it would be a little strange to me.

Just asking what was it like.

No, simply it's never worked out in my schedule (work's really really busy that time of year). I have talked to several JW about it, but never be able to attend myself.

Is that like mass or communion?

I wouldn't do it, you may be asked if you are right with the fellowship, which you are not in your heart. So to agree with and partake of the ordinance would be dishonest.

If you go, read 1 corinthians 11 first.

 

[Willie T]

To be flatly honest with you, I consider there to be some serious healing power in that Memorial (The Lord's Supper, or Communion, or Eucharist... as different denominations refer to it.). And I would not just play around with it as though it was nothing more than a church ritual I was expected to participate in.

When I was very young I was permitted to eat extra communion bread that was leftover. Some time later I became unable to eat solid foods for months, no doctors could figure out why.

I agree with willie, take the body and blood of Christ very seriously.

Well, I have to say, THAT was not what I meant, at all. The act is spiritual and serious, but in no way do I think the bread or wine/juice is "magical." As a child, you were just eating a snack.

So ignorance is an excuse?
