    In 2016, JW will have their Memorial of Jesus death on March 23, 2016. http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/meetings/#?insight[search_id]=99cee3cb-687e-4276-9c70-3af8d20c220b&insight[search_result_index]=0

    That day is not for Nissan 14th of the Jewish calendar, or am I wrong ??

    According to this Jewish calendar website Nissan 14 of 2016 is on April 22nd.

    I thought 2014 was supposed to be the last Memorial.

    It is possible that there is a divergence between the modern Israeli calendar and the ancient Hebrew one. In that case it would be difficult to calculate the date.

    On a side note, according to the Jewish calendar we're in the year 5775. That is only 25 years away from the 6 millennium from the date of creation which would fall on 2040 or thereabouts. Am I giving any ideas to the Witchtower?

    The WT moved away from the modern day Jewish calendar a few years ago. You know, because WT knows better than everyone else. /

    Last year's was a day earlier than the modern day Nisan 14.
