Jehovah's Witnesses have explained many times at the memorial's why they celebrate a day before the Jewish people celebrate passover. I do of course understand that tech, the jews are celebrating a different holiday than JWS. I found a simple explanation of this a year ago, but now cannot locate it. Anyone know why the JWS celebrate on a different day than anyone else?
Why Do JWS celebrate Memorial on different day than everyone else?

Paul said boast of the "stauros" on which Christ died as a symbol of resurrection over death, so it is unbiblical to call a cross a repugnant murder weapon (Galatians 6:14, 1 Corinthians 1:17-18) Those who teach Christ died on a stake or pole instead of a cross ignore that human remains with the ancient item of death and also inscriptions show archaeologists that the stauros was a cross not stake. Dr Frederick Zugibe's research shows suffocation would be in minutes if on a stake but in hours if on outstretched cross as Luke
