  Isn`t their some unified message that all ex-jw`s could send to any and everybody they know on the eve of the memorial ? Either by slow mail, facebook, e-mail ,phone , twitter ,blog ,letters to the editor newspapers , or whatever other means ?

  I mean to say they have a campaign to reach as many people as possible with their memorial invitation.

  Why cant we have a campaign to reach as many JW`s we know to expose the WT/religion at the same time ?

  Or for that matter informing the public that the JW religion is a cult that divides families despite what they claim.

  Comments and advice welcome

  People have to have their thought processes stimulated so that they can reason for themselves. Use the same process which we are directed to use on the ministry - ask a question, wait for the response, and then provide the scripture to give the Bible's reasoning on the subject. Their choice to accept or reject it!

  Question: Do you known when Jesus would return, as he promised he would?

  Answer: Yes in 1914, according to a prophecy in Daniel as well as all the signs we see today.

  Question: So if Christ has returned already, why do you still have the Memorial celebrating his death, because at 1 Corinthians 11:26, the apostle Paul makes it clear that the Memorial will stop when Christ arrives. Also, why would Jesus repeatedly mislead his follower with false statements that none of his disciples would know when he was returning, and yet you claim it was in 1914? (Matthew 24:43,44)

  Searcher,

  The current JW teaching is that he has not yet arrived (Annual Meeting, October, 2012). Only that he was enthroned as King in the heavens in 1914. Kinda shoots down your second series of questions. However, only JWs who actually are current with teachings would know this. As you realize, they got some explaining to do to unravel that which they taught for decades.

  smiddy,

  I'm not sure a campaign would ever help. It would just bolster their position that "apostates" are out to draw people away. Sorry. Just my two cents.

  I like the idea of silent witness from the closest public property and kneeling and turning backs on the KH. All done in silence.

  The ideal thing is my new prochure which I plan to title: JESUS DID NOT DIE ON NISAN 14TH.

  It will not mention JWs specifically, but will basically show that Jesus ate passover on a sabbath day and so was arrested on a sabbath day and thus could have died on a sabbath day. JWs teach Jesus died on Nisan 14th. They don't realize the early Israelites followed Egyptian custom and didn't change the date until midnight, so the date did not change at sunset to Nisan 14, but not until midnight. That is part of why JWs can't figure out the precise date of Jesus' death. They know passover was eaten on Nisan 14, even though the Israelites leave Egypt on the 15th. The key here is that passover is eaten before midnight, but the Israelites leave Egypt after midnight, when the date changes.

  I'm going to make this ONE POINT and keep it simple. I guess I better get it going. It will be one page, front and back. I'll see about electronic formats. But it will be a basic concept that the same night passover is eaten is the same night that was made into a national holiday, thus a special sabbath day for all time, and thus Jesus could not have died the same night he eats passover. Witnesses should be able to grasp that simple concept. They will then wonder why the WTS hasn't grabbed upon this "new light."

  I'll post it when its done. I haven't done any publishing in a while!

  Just a thought: Maybe I can find a good graphic of Jesus Christ impaled on a CROSS to go on the title page! That way it won't seem like it is witness oriented, when really it is! OR, maybe showing him impaled on a torture stake might be more fun! But clearly, smart witnesses will surely interpret that as apostate! I think Jesus on a cross is more clever!

  Ciao
