  Mornin' all. Saw the jdubs going from door to door just now. UK time 10:15 am. Pushed myself to answer door instead od hiding. They seemed embarrased to see me. I was polite. I accepted the invitation, but asked them why the memorial date this year didn't coincide with the Jewish passover! They responded with " that's the date of the memorial"

  I said " I know, nut why is it a month out this year? Don't we always celebrate this event at the same time as the passover"?

  One asked " How, when is the passover"?

  I replied " It's 22cnd/23rd April".

  No come back, just that they'd be happy to see me. I said sure. Then promptly put it in the waste paper bin.

  I got mine too but had 2 elders pop round saying they were visiting inactive ones with the invite and the "Return t Jehoover" brochure...which I declined.

  The eldubs gave up after 2 attempts to speak to me. They're frightened of my husband hee hee. He's a dour burly Scotsman. Even before they'd ever met him. Could count on one hand how many times met in all these years. They'd come to me and say " we're frightened of your husband"! I'd ask why?, since they didn't know him. They told me they had a picture in their heads of an Aberdeen Angus cow. OK. We've been together 43yrs, and a more balanced nicer guy you'd ever hope to meet. We all used to say he's more humble than the majority at the Kh.

  Says a lot about how they judge. They must have projected their opinion of me onto my partner and ran with it. Lol!

  They have got the date wrong, I checked it on my worldly calendar. What's the story with that one?

  This is the last memorial before the big A, so the GB figured they would celebrate it whenever they wanted to. 😎

  I read some article that the Jewish calendar was incorrect for some reason
