this was meant to have nice inserted pictures and tidy hyperlinks but the forum's being glitchy today.
so unfortunately it's going to be a messy post where you're going to have to exercise your tapping fingers and click on the links to the pics to see what i'm referring to.
sorry about that.. in the article recently studied "do this in remembrance of me" (w13 12/15), there is a box on p. 23 giving the date of this year's memorial and how that date is arrived at.. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2013926.
Overkill, I know, but FWIW, another chart:
Israel fell into the orange area which, according to the legend, meant the March 31 crescent was "visible to the naked eye under perfect conditions." This chart probably wouldn't have been available to the researchers at the Writing Department when the article was put together, but a pdf showing new crescent visibility in Mecca (slightly east of Jerusalem in longitude) would have been available from the same astro.ukho.gov.uk site.

*** w90 2/15 p. 15 par. 25 From Seder to Salvation ***
"The Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses establishes the date for the Lord’s Evening Meal in line with the ancient method. Nisan 1 is determined by when the new moon nearest the spring equinox can likely be observed at sunset in Jerusalem. Counting 14 days from that brings one to Nisan 14, which usually corresponds to the day of the full moon. (See The Watchtower of June 15, 1977, pages 383-4.)"
i have some ideas, but want more to choose from..
I like wasblind's line.

nonjwspouse: BTW Ann what is the correct date? I have been reading the chromicle project sometimes and caught the date discrepancy. But can't find the particulars just now.
Following the JW method and interpretation, the Memorial 2014 should really be held on Sunday April 13.
Shameless plug for thread: CLICK HERE.

I can't take that. It has the wrong date.
i have been dropping comments to a few re some classic old beliefs and teachings etc... and when asked "where did you read that, or how come you are saying such and such?
" i have replied "well, you remember we have often been told to study and research our old 'theocratic history' and 'old gems' of material?....
now though i have been challenged to prove where this has been printed!.

i was out in my car this saturday as i went to visit my friend.. i saw the jws scattered about mooching down the streets.. i arrived home in a different area to where my friend lives.
as i opened my door there was an invitation to the mock the christ ritual.
a group of jws mooched past my house, looked at me rather lethargically and carried on mooching along.. considering they don't know i'm an 'apostate(tm)', they certainly were in no hurry to beg me to come to their mock the christ charade considering that if i don't go jar-hoover will lovingly murder me soon (subject to overlapping(tm) ).. i know we had 'the pioneer walk(tm)' back in the day but puh-leeeeeeeze!

LOL. It is distinctive, isn't it? The more so as an 'outsider' looking in.
Householders who come to the door interrupt the pleasant chit-chat and catching up the brothers and sisters are doing. The longer between doors the better.
