“Keep doing this in remembrance of me,” Jesus Christ told his disciples.


But, what are Jesus’ disciples to commemorate? And why is it so important for you to do so?

Find out on Thursday, April 9, when the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 2227 Washington Avenue in Douglas, marks the anniversary of Christ’s death with a simple ceremony.

The event will be conducted in Spanish at 6:30 p.m. and in English at 8 p.m. that Thursday.

Each year, Jehovah’s Witnesses mark the anniversary of Jesus’ death with a simple ceremony. The answers to the questions  will be discussed at the event.

This year, the anniversary falls on Thursday, April 9, after sundown.

Jehovah’s Witnesses invite to join them in remembering the most important occasion in history.

Also, the church will hold a special Bible talk entitled, “Is there a true religion from God’s standpoint,”  on Sunday, April 26, at the church. The discussion will be presented in English beginning at 10 a.m., and in Spanish at 1 p.m. that Sunday.

    " back in bible history there was only one jewish religion. likewise today only Jehovah Witnesses honor what Jesus said, like going place to places to talk about God to people. Acts chapter 10:42 also says Jesus Orderd them to preach so I think they are doing a great service to God. Not to mention they are strick in thier beliefs which benefit everyone like not smoking. I'll give them a A+ in trying to make a difference in our communities. "

    " While I do agree that the Watchtower is a cult, I wouldn't go as far as calling them satanic... "

    " The author of the above article deceptively left out the most important detail of the WatchTower Cult's feigned annual celebration of Christ's death.

    Namely, that attendees -- both JWs and non-JWs -- REJECT Christ's sacrifice by intentionally REJECTING the bread and wine sacraments.

    The WatchTower Cult's annual celebration is actually a satanic, anti-christ ceremony which requires each individual attendee to accept into their hands the cup of wine and the plate of bread, BUT then REFUSE to drink the wine and REFUSE to eat the bread. After REFUSING to partake of the sacraments, each attendee then passes the uneaten bread and undrank wine on to the next attendee, who also REFUSES to partake of such.

    The WatchTower Cult's annual celebation will host over 16,000,000 persons across the planet who will take this opportunity to spit in Christ's face. "
