So either you consume them via a receive call which means the message is ack'd prior to the return of the receive method, or you set an async MessageListener and each message is ack'd before it is passed onto the onMessage call. If you don't do these things then the message sits in the prefetch buffer until the consumer is closed, not being ack'd and not being dispatched to some other consumer.
