Thank you for the link. Basically what I gathered from it was that I should 
send it to some sort of error queue. But since its an MDB i would have to 
implement the ability to put a message onto a queue in order
to get rid of the message. Is there a simpler way to just remove the message 
from the queue without having to go into the admin console and purge it 
manually?

See this article for a discussion of why you should handle all errors in
the onMessage method and not propagate them to the JMS client code.
