So...Did Judas Leave Before the Lord's Evening Meal?

by undercover in

yes, it's that time of year, once again, when the society starts reliving jesus' last few days on earth as a human.... in addition to all the propaganda about the 144,000 and only they being "allowed" to partake of jesus' blood and body at the annual jw deny christ ritual...another jw teaching, though not as dissected, is the teaching that judas iscariot left the room before the bread and wine were shared with the apostles.. it's important to jw doctrine that this be the case.

because only those who make up the true christian congregation, the annointed, the first of these the faithful apostles, are to partake of these emblems.

if jesus was already aware of judas' plan to betray him and yet judas was present for this new, important ritual, it would be rendered useless by his partaking.

Correct! maninthemiddle. "If you are going to be that picky". They are crazy about the "after sun is down" but even that has it flaws. Crazy.

Thanks Dismiss. So, it all becomes a thing of "the day of 26th", not the actual 14 of Nisan. If it were, we would be celebrating it when the sun sets in Jerusalem, not in the part of the world you are at.

We would have some people celebrating the memorial maybe at 3pm or so.

First mention of "new light" may appear in July 15, 2013 Watchtower

by cedars in

a trusted source informs me that the "new light" about the faithful slave is to make its first printed appearance in the july 15th watchtower, which should be available for download online three weeks from now, on around april 15th.. i'm led to believe that the references to the new understanding are made in such a manner as to suggest the "new light" isn't that new at all, which suggests to me that little or no effort is being made to explain the doctrinal connotations.

my source and i are hoping to get a key paragraph posted at the earliest opportunity.

watch this space!.

According to thefreedictionary.com:

Singular: Being only one; individual.

Composite: Made up of distinct components; compound. (More than one)

According to the WT/FDS/GB:

Singular and composite are synonymous.

English language at its best.

Made me think, how is the Memorial celebrated in different parts of the world? Do they all fall on this year's March 26? Or is it like New Year's Eve, when some get to live in a new year hours before others are stuck in the old one?

BOE Letter: Rules to deal with rules

by pixel in

as everybody jere knows, there is no requirement for a christian to "count and report" their time.

that's totally made-up by the wt/fds/gb, so, they have to make rules to deal with their own rules.... .
