The Current Teaching Of The Watchtower Society:
Only those members of the 144,000 (mentioned in Revelation 6:4 ff) remaining on the earth at any given time can partake in the Communion Supper (the bread and the cup). Members of the "great crowd" or "earthly class"…as the society designates those Witnesses not among the 144,000…are forbidden to take of the Communion Supper.
What the Bible Says about COMMUNION:
1. Communion is for ALL Christians:
| All believers are to partake of it | 1Cr 10:16-17 |
| Believers are to break bread regularly | Act 2:41-42 |
| Believers are to partake of it until Jesus comes | 1Cr 11:26 |
2. Those For Whom Jesus Died Share In Communion:
Note Jesus' Own Words: "And He took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, 'This is my body which is given for you; this do in remembrance of me'". "Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, 'this is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.'" Luk 22:14-19
