From JW.org:
Yeshua clearly said;
We eat his flesh and drink his blood symbolically by partaking of the bread and cup at the "Lord's Supper". If anyone fails to partake of those symbols, they do NOT have eternal life. Therefore, millions of Jehovah's Witnesses are being deceived by their leaders/Watchtower into forsaking eternal life.
When Jehovah’s Witnesses observe the Lord’s Evening Meal, only a small fraction of us partake of the bread and wine. Why is that so?
Jesus’ shed blood established “a new covenant” that replaced the covenant between Jehovah God and the ancient nation of Israel. (Hebrews 8:10-13) Those who are in that new covenant partake of the Memorial emblems. It includes, not all Christians, but only “those who have been called” in a special way by God. (Hebrews 9:15; Luke 22:20) These ones will rule in heaven with Christ, and the Bible says that just 144,000 people receive that privilege.—Luke 22:28-30; Revelation 5:9, 10; 14:1, 3.
In contrast to the “little flock” of those called to rule with Christ, the vast majority of us hope to be part of “a great crowd” who will gain everlasting life on earth. (Luke 12:32; Revelation 7:9, 10) While those of us with an earthly hope do not partake of the Memorial emblems, we do join in expressing thanks for the sacrifice that Jesus made in our behalf.—1 John 2:2.

Yeshua clearly said;
John 6:53 ... Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
John 6:54 Whoso eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
