Patterson vs Walkill vs Warwick

by Magnum in

i understand that warwick is to be the new world headquarters of jws, patterson is an educational complex, and walkill is a literature production center.

will patterson continue to be used as it is now after the completion of warwick?

if not, what will happen to it?

So the previous situation was a giant headquarters in Brooklyn, Patterson educational center and Wallkill printery and farm.

Future situation will be less big headquarters at Warwick, Patterson Educational center and Wallkill printery & farm

Flier on "Day and Week of Christ's Death" to be mailed out to Kingdom Halls this week!

by CharlieSmith1975 in

the tricky thing about a mass mailing to all the kingdom halls is that mail is often not delivered to the kingdom hall but to a po box.

it is super easy to get all the addresses to hundreds of kingdom halls across the country and even have those addresses printed out for you as labels!

but when i did that before i got about a third of them back.

maybe you should dive in the matter and discover why modern jews disagree nowadays.

Besides that i don't care about what modern day jews think. According to Jesus and the bible they are not a reliable source when it comes to divine teachings. As i showed you. The bible is very clear on the matter and the date.. passover is on the 14th

we are talking about passover not about the festival of the unfermented cakes. This festival began Nisan 15, the day after Passover, and continued for seven days through Nisan 21.

Passover... like explained above was celebrated at the 14th in the first century,. by the jews,... Jesus christ and the first christians. Passover was followed by seven days of the Festival of Unfermented Cakes,

(Leviticus 23:5) 5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between the two evenings is the passover to Jehovah.

(Numbers 28:16) “‘And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, will be Jehovah’s passover.

(Ezekiel 45:21) 21 “‘In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, there should occur for YOU the passover. . . .

Jehovah’s Witnesses observe the Memorial after sundown on Nisan 14, according to the reckoning of the Jewish calendar that was common in the first century. The Jewish day begins at sundown and extends until the following sundown. So Jesus died on the same Jewish calendar day that he instituted the Memorial. The beginning of the month of Nisan was the sunset after the new moon nearest the spring equinox became visible in Jerusalem. The Memorial date is 14 days thereafter. (Thus the date for the Memorial may not coincide with that of the Passover kept by modern-day Jews. Why not? The start of their calendar months is set to coincide with the astronomical new moon, not the visible new moon over Jerusalem, which may come 18 to 30 hours later. Also, most Jews today keep the Passover on Nisan 15, not on the 14th as did Jesus in harmony with what was stated in the Mosaic Law.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartodecimanism

Christians in the churches of Jerusalem and Antioch in the Roman province of Asia (Western Anatolia) celebrated Passover on the 14th of the first month (Aviv)

In the mid–second century, the practice in the Roman province of Asia was for the pre-Paschal fast to end and the feast to be held on the 14th day (the full moon) of the Jewish lunar month of Nisan, the date on which the Passover sacrifice had been offered when the Second Temple stood, and "the day when the people put away the leaven".[5] Those who observed this practice were called Quartodecimani, Latin for "fourteenthers", because of holding their celebration on the fourteenth day of Nisan.

The practice had been followed by Polycarp, who was a disciple of John the Apostle and bishop of Smyrna (c. 69 – c. 155) - one of the seven churches of Asia, and by Melito of Sardis (d. c. 180).[5] Irenaeus says that Polycarp visited Rome when Anicetus was its bishop (c. 153–68), and among the topics discussed was this divergence of custom, with Rome instituting the festival of Easter in place of the Pasch. Irenaeus noted:

Neither could Anicetus persuade Polycarp not to observe what he had always observed with John the disciple of our Lord, and the other apostles with whom he had associated; neither could Polycarp persuade Anicetus to observe it, as he said that he ought to follow the customs of the presbyters that had preceded him.[6]
