Memorial Question

One true Jesus Freak

I'm still getting use to the lay out of this website, I hope I posted this in the correct section. My question is the date of the memorial. Since I have never been to one I do not know. I do recall last years was in april (the date I cannot recall) I was wondering why this year is in March? I read a lot about Nisan 14, on our calendar, what day does that fall on?

Nisan 14 is usually the first full moon after the spring equinox.

does that fall tonight?

The full moon was last night. Why are the witnesses celebrating the memorial a day late this year?

I wonder how it would go if I were to ask someone that. I am afraid to tho.

You have nothing to fear; it's been WEEKS since JWs subjected infidels to ritual strangulation!

is it suggested that I ask? Why they had the memorial tonight and not last night?

T'was a leap year this year. That set to screwin' with time tables. Now, I have a question, there have been leap years for thousands of years, what's to say they've got the right day?

I believe they use the night of the full moon as it appears in Jerusalem, which may be a day out in the West

wouldn't March 23 have been that date?
