According to Jewish Days, he would have died on Nisan 13 at Noon, 6 hours before the passover was to begin (Nisan 14th.) Remember, A Jewish day is from Sundown to sundown (Roughly 6PM-6PM). The JWs count a day from Midnight to Midnight.

John 19:14, a devastating contradiction?
by DT inmatthew, mark and luke claim that jesus died on passover (nisan 14) john, however, claims that jesus died on the day of preparation for passover (nisan 13) "now it was preparation of the passover" -john 19:14 nwt (it helps to read the context, several verses before and after.
) john also doesn't mention the lord's evening meal with his his apostles on passover.
it would have been impossible, because he was already dead, according to john.. the bible contains many contradictions that can possibly be reconciled if you have enough imagination, but this contradiction seems pretty blatant.

[QUOTE]The reality is that the WT uses its own, and sadly probably correct, method of determining when the nearest full moon to the spring equinox rises OVER Jerusalem, not over the US.[/QUOTE] You are aware that the Roman Catholic Church, not the Bible, stated such provisions.

well, I just research WHO set the Date for Easter...and thus the Memorial. JW's will no tlike it when I tell them that the rule that was established that the memorial would be established on teh 1st Full Moon after the Spring Equinoz, or whatever, was established by Constantine I at the Council of Nicea in 325 AD. If you know your history, you know that Constantine was the one who created teh Roman Catholic Church, which was a Hybrid of Christian and Pagan idealogical. So, in other words, the Bible really dosen't say what the WTBTS claims.

Even if the JWs used their own calculations, Nisan 14th would occur roughly 5 days earlier every year, since the Lunar Calendar is 359-360 days, NOT 365. Their calculations are still flawed, because like I said, that means that Nisan 14 would occur during the SUmmer and WInter months during a stretch every century.

There has to be additional days added to make up for the lost 4.25 Days every year. If not, then Nissan 14th would occur in June and July for a period roughly every century.

This is a leap year in the Jewish Calendar, If I'm not mistaken, which most likley threw off the day by so much.
