Conversation with JW mom on this years memorial date and Nissan 14 discrepancy. (page 2)

Coded Logic

If all you care to do is find fault with the organization or that I havent done enough research. Think what you want.

Mom, do you think it is important to "examine everything carefully" like it says at 1 Thessalonians 5:21?

What do you think it meant by Proverbs 14:18 when it says, "The naive will inherit foolishness but the shrewd are crowned with knowledge."? To be crowned in knowledge don't we have to make sure we have accurate information? Isn't that the most shrewd thing we can do?

I used to drive a Nissan 14. It was a great service car. 4-door, great on gas, no stereo so there was no way any satanic rock music could be listened to while in the field ministry. There was absolutely no embellishments or flashy decorations whatsoever. A drab, dull car is a spiritual car.

The JWs are right in this instance - it's a leap year in the jewish calendar but only the jewish observe the leap year.

''The JWs are right in this instance - it's a leap year in the jewish calendar but only the jewish observe the leap year''

It is a leap year. I'm surprises the JW's even observe that!!

But is it an overlapping leap year???????

If this organization is not being used by Jehovah, it will fail. Will it not?
Hmm how to respond to this last one?

The Catholic organisation is still going strong. The faith of Islam is growing apace. Scientology hasn't gone bankrupt. None of them seem to have failed. It depends what is meant by 'fail'.

t should be pointed out that the Jewish calendar leap year designations are NOT Biblical.

Let's add a little more detail: The spring equinox occurs on March 20th at 4:40 PM, Jerusalem time. The Jewish calendar calculates the new moon of Adar II (the 13th month of the previous religious calendar year) to be at 9:31 PM on March 8th and, due to the postponements of the previous Tishri 1, March 11th as the first day of the month. Either day will place the 14th day of Adar II on or after the spring equinox and thus the month should be Nisan (Abib), not Adar II. The result of this error is that the Jewish calendar is ONE MONTH LATE from March 2016 through March 2017! By making 5776 a leap year, they ignore the fact that, by their own interpretation of the Torah, Passover must be observed at the first opportunity on or after the spring equinox. This is the way the lunar calendar is kept synchronized with the solar calendar, and is an essential part in keeping the Passover (and every other Holy Day) in its season
