Part 4

I partook of the emblems last spring at the memorial in one of the kingdom halls. The elder's hospitality was totally lacking. Not one approached me afterwards to say hello or to talk to me. There was only one young sister who even talked to me besides my JW pioneer friend who had invited me to sit up front with her and her husband. She only had said.." Well, it is between you and Jehovah" When the elders saw me partaking, I could see some of them almost jump out of their seats. This is totally wrong brothers and sisters!! All of the new partakers are treated as if we are only "professed members of Christ's body, and are looked at sideways. My husband (a JW ) when he found out that I had partook (he missed the memorial himself) told me that he would have rather heard me tell him that I turned "lesbian" than to hear me tell him that I partook of the emblems (wine and bread) at the memorial. I was treated like I did something shameful.

What should have been the most joyous celebration of my life besides my dedication and baptism to God and Christ, was something that I had to defend and was looked down upon by my own JW Christian brothers and sisters and even my own husband.

The WBTS are teaching two classes of Christians, which is totally unbiblical. Jesus, nor the apostles ever taught that there would be two classes of Christians. (an earthly class and a heavenly one) The "other sheep" that Jesus was talking to his disciples about were only the Gentiles, because they hadn't preached and invited them yet, but that they would also be invited later to become one flock under one shepherd.

Jesus said....." But from the days of John the Baptist,until now, the kingdom of the heavens is the goal toward which men press and those pressing forward are seizing it." Matt. 11:12

" However as many as did receive him, to them he gave authority to become God's children, *because they were exercising faith in His name*, and they were born, not from blood or from a fleshly will,
but from God." John 1:12-13

Jesus told the Jews:....." Most truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. He that feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has everlastin life, and I will resurrect him at the last day. For my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. He that feeds on my flesh remains in *union* with me, and I in union with him......." " This is the bread that comes down from heaven."

" 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* 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."

The WBTS is a barrier to many of Jesus' sheep from becoming a member of Christ's bride. This is a very serious thing. Jesus warned in Luke 21:8..." Look out that you are not mislead,for many
will come on the basis of my name saying, ' I am he and the due time has approached." *do not go after them.*" Please look up Luke 21:8

Matthew 24:23...." Then if anyone says to you,Look Here is the Christ, or , "There! Do not believe it, For false Christs and *false prophets* will arise and will give great signs and wonders so as to *MISLEAD* if possible even the chosen ones. Look, I have forewarned you!"

Yes, Jesus himself had warned us.
