We are just obediently following the instructions of our master, Jesus Christ. It is he who has requested that we keep calling with this message until the last "sheep" is in the pen.....because only "then the end will come". (Matt 24:14)
As in times past, God did not just give one warning. He gave many until there was no more response from the people and no more patience left in him.
"And Jehovah the God of their forefathers kept sending against them by means of his messengers, sending again and again, because he felt compassion for his people and for his dwelling. But they were continually making jest at the messengers of the [true] God and despising his words and mocking at his prophets, until the rage of Jehovah came up against his people, until there was no healing." (2 Chron 36:15, 16)
It's happening again.

Gjallarhorn is right; the Christian view of redemption through Jesus Christ says that one finds everlasting life through his human blood sacrifice that took his life in the planned almost ritual like context of his crucifixion to appease his father.
His spilled blood which his followers drink as a symbolically cannibalistic act (to some it literally changes to his blood) is supposed to represent how his literally spilled blood gave life to the otherwise damned to sadistic torture in Hell (those who go to hell are seen as spiritually dead) for the punishment of how their God created them.

well thats just silly. Human tradition and belief does not trump Gods Word of Truth.

I was talking about what was said in the Bible... Jesus specifically commanded that his followers do communion.
Well, what do you know, Frankie. You and I have found something we can agree on.
There's hope yet.

and anyone who believes the wine actually turns into real blood is being silly
The symbolism still counts; life through the blood of Jesus Christ via his death.
and anyone who believes the wine actually turns into real blood is being silly
Or just being true to the text and to tradition. Most JW's will never take Communion in their life, even while believing that it's not the real Body and Blood of Christ. Now that's being silly.

My god no way, do they actually believe that.

Are you serious? That's what most Christians believe. Transubstantiation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

No sorry, transubstantiation is a Catholic belief. Most "Christians" do not believe that they are literally eating Christ's flesh and drinking his blood. Most would find that thought rather sickening.
Jewish disciples who came to hear Christ on one occasion were also sickened when he suggested that people should eat his flesh and drink his blood. They left in disgust. Jesus asked his disciples if they were going to leave too....Peter answered "Lord, whom shall we go away to, you have sayings of everlasting life", so they demonstrated faith in the fact that the son of God would never ask his followers to literally break the law of his Father. (John 6:48-68)
The bread and the wine were symbols for those who were taken into the new covenant. Only a finite number will be taken to heaven to rule with Christ. These will be "kings and priests" (Rev 20:6)
The majority of mankind will be 'the meek that will inherit the earth'. (Matt 5:5) These are the earthly subjects of the heavenly kingdom and will benefit from their priesthood.

have you ever wondered why Jesus didnt drink the wine with all his disciples? He only gave the wine to his apostles.
Are you and apostle?

Judge angels.

Jehovah our God is One
and a little more then just angels...
1Cor6:2*Or do YOU not know that the holy ones will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by YOU, are YOU unfit to try very trivial matters?
1Peter 3:7*But by the same word the heavens and the earth that are now are stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men.
Thats a big assignment to fulfill.
