In Reply to: Memorial questions, pls answer posted by Obed on April 01, 1999 at 05:50:26:
- Do you plan on attending the memorial tonight? Why?
I would like to, but it doesn't look like it is going to work out with my family's schedule. If I were to attend, it would mainly be to make an appearance to show that I am not rejecting association with JWs. (I will always consider them my brothers and sisters.) However, I would not view it as my own "memorial" observance. See below.
- Did you celebrate it last night according to the Jewish passover date?
Yes, as a matter of fact. I've concluded that the scriptural reference to "the 14th day, in the evening" refers to the evening at the end of the 14th day. Also, the Jewish method for calculting Nisan 14 is just as valid as the WT method. Although I do not criticize anyone who chose to celebrate it either tonight, or on the 30th as I know some have.
- Do you partake of the bread and wine? Why?
Yes. I have come to the conclusion that all Christians are entitled to partake, even if one believes that there are two classes of Christians today. I personally believe that the heavenly calling has not been closed.
