Don’t people read the Bible. Jesus doesn’t apologize because he is perfect. The woman wasn’t shunned, she was ridiculed and humiliated for her sinful lifestyle by other women. She had been married a whole bunch of times so she must have been very beautiful. She was ashamed to be around the other women because they could mock her for having so many men. But she wasn’t an apostate or a rebel. She was a believer. After the encounter with Jesus she told everybody about him. She articulated hope on the Messiah to come. But socially in her religious community, she was being scorned because of her sexual reputation. Obviously she wasn’t vicious, hateful, angry, vindictive, cunning retaliatory and spurner of her faith. Also, JC saw in her virtues that qualified her for repentance and salvation, —Even to go to heaven and be a king with him as JW see it. God sees the whole picture in one’s life and knows the heart. “ My father is looking for such like ones to worship him.”

The (Shunned) Woman at the Well
by Sea Breeze ini always found the account of the "woman at the well" to be particulary interesting.
this unknown shunned woman of ill-repute was specifically sought out and chosen by jesus.
why?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=el7dzonv3iy&ab_channel=michaelpapale.

A beard can mean waiting a loooong time—patience. Or maybe everyone is waiting for him to shave it off soon.

Nisan 14 or not?
by LostintheFog1999 inif jesus memorial meal is meant to follow on from the jewish passover celebration, would someone explain to me why the jehovah's witness community are holding their "lord's evening meal" on tuesday 4th april; when the jewish community are not holding their 2023 passover until the 5th april 2023?
doesn't this mean that the jehovahs have got their date wrong?.

“That meal ( Last Supper) took place late on Thursday evening, March 31, 33 C.E. Jesus died on a torture stake on Friday afternoon, April 1.” WT 4/15/04
Obviously the Last Supper was not on “Good Friday” evening cuz JC was dead. A little thinking is involved just a tiny bit.
For those who do not like to think:

no Rabbi, Pharisee or Sadducee would be caught dead ‘working’ on convicting Jesus on those days, no mob would have formed.
LOL. horsefeathers and drivel. I’ve personally witnessed ( with others!) a mob of orthodox jews beat a man on the ground senseless on the Sabbath.

obviously blessing this child..
Thank you DD. I didn’t know. An example of misrepresentation. That puts a different spin on the incident. Don’t subscribe to such craziness but no malicious intent. It just seemed unthinkable that such an act could be normal church practice.

TD,
What I conclude( and I could be wrong) when reading wt literature compared to Nu 33:3 is that the Jews began to leave Egypt on Passover day Nisan 14 —that’s why it’s called Passover—but they left in stages as verses 1-5 show. Although they departed from Ramses on Nisan 15 later on, the Passover already began on Passover day after Passover (the meal on the evening prior). WT commentary also notes that there is dispute between Jewish groups such as Caraites and Rabbinical and the Samaritans whether or not Passover meal is on the beginning or end of Nisan 14 and cites Ibn Ezra supporting Nisan 14 beginning. But the fact that Jesus celebrated the passover at the beginning of the day of Nisan 14 validates to JW that it is not on Nisan 14 end with Nisan 15 the following daylight morning as you imply is when the Exodus began.

Numbers 33:1-5
“But Rameses may here refer to a district, and it may be that the Israelites pulled away from all parts of the district, converging on Succoth as the place of rendezvous. Numbers 33:3-5”
“This would allow for Moses to have been at Pharaoh’s palace on the night of the tenth plague and, before the next day’s end, to begin leading the people of Israel on their march out of Egypt.” Insight Book p723 Volume 2
According to WT literature, again TD, Passover meal is on Nisan 13 sundown when Nisan14 begins and not Nisan 14 sundown when Passover day ends. Therefore, Nisan 13 evening was the day of the last supper on Thursday evening (but in the Jewish calendar it was Friday Nisan 14 “AM” the beginning of Passover day) The last supper couldn’t be on Friday night because Jesus was killed on Friday Nisan 14 33CE around 3PM, the day of Preparation for the Sabbath which was on Nisan 15. So, the evidence points to Jews-at least Jesus and his Apostles-celebrating the passover back in 33 same day JW do nowadays before Rabbinical Javneh post 2nd Temple Rabbinical Judaism “saved from the coffin.” —Anyway, that’s JW“stride” at this time as I read the literature.

daylight period of the 15th mentioned at Numbers 33:3
As JW see it, daylight and day are 2 different things since day begins at sundown when it is dark and the next day begins, so the day of Nisan 14 begins at sundown Nisan 13. Therefore, Numbers 33:3 does not refer to the following morning daylight after Passover(as JW believe). Im sure you understand JW reasons although you disagree.
