bennyk ; that is the point ,witnesses do it wrong ,as do Rabbinical Jews . Therefore the celebration is incorrect . When the KM gave next yrs date it really bothered me . They shouldn't even give this yrs date till the barley is aviv .

19Memorial Dating
by A&S inmemorial is supposed to be held on aviv(nissan ) 14 .
the following shows how it is determined .. the biblical year begins with the first new moon after the barely in isreal reaches the stage in its ripeness called abib (aviv) the period between one year and the next is either 12 or 13 lunar months .
because of this , it is important to check the state of the barley crops at the end of the 12th month .

Memorial is supposed to be held on Aviv(Nissan ) 14 . The following shows how it is determined .
The Biblical year begins with the first New Moon after the barely in Isreal reaches the stage in its ripeness called Abib (Aviv) The period between one year and the next is either 12 or 13 lunar months . Because of this , it is important to check the state of the Barley crops at the end of the 12th month . If the Barley is Abib at this time , then the following New Moon is Hodesh Ha-Aviv ( New Moon of the Abib ) . If the barley is still immature , we must wait another month and then check the barley again at the end of the 13th month .
Ex13:4 Deut. 16:1
So it is impossible to determine the date yrs in advance . According to the scriptures . It was changed be 359 C.E , just before the Sanhedrin disbanding themselves , the exiled Sanhedrin devised a new calander system . In the 4th century Sanhedrin , Hillel 2 borrowd Babylonian mathmatical calculations to determine the precise moment that the moon was in conjuctions with the earth and the sun . This unobservable mathematical moment in time was used to determine the beginning of each month on the new Pharisee calander . So the could celebrate their adaption of the Passover at their own convience . They could plan their religoius activities months , years in advance . They completely disregarded the ONLY criterion stipulated by the Almighty for determining the first month of the year - the aviv barley in the land of Isreal .
We follow this mistake . Memorial can not be determined a yr in advance, actually
not even a mth in advance . So the dating the organization uses is often incorrect .

There are to many holes in the WT's Revelation Book . I found this site of a Messianic Jew that makes a lot more sense . http://aroodawakening.tv/ Watch the Creators Calander . In it He explains Rev. Through a Jews eyes (one that believes in Jesus ) It all seems to fit together .

Spirit Directed Organization..How?
by Blueblades incorrect me if i'm not understanding this phrase, 'spirit directed organization'.. my understanding is that the watchtower has recently taught ( someone may remember the exact watchtower that this was taught ) that the anointed and every jehovah's witness has the same holy spirit, no more no less.. nothing special is directing the watchtower society when it comes to understanding the scriptures.
.
why then do they keep on using this phrase, that they are being directed by holy spirit and still use it when asking one of the baptism questions.. if they have no 'special knowledge', how is it that they write talks about being directed by holy spirit especially when it comes to distrct convention talks.. blueblades.

Great Work . One question though . Where do you find the Awake quotes ? I only have them from the 70's forward . Like to have them to show people so they can't refute it . Thanks

Hi; Thanks for all the comments . I guess if I had read a little further I would have see it . Rev.17:18 "And the woman whom you saw means the great city that has a kingdom over the kings of the earth ." So I guess the great city is babylon the great . Correct??

The B.S. this week dealt with this verse . But it doesn't make sense . (like any of it does )
It says : And the great city split into three parts , AND the cities of the nations fell , AND Babylon the Great was remembered in the site of God , to give her the cup of the wine of the anger of his wrath .
The Rev. book pg 234 par . 38 says that the "great city" is Babylon the great . But by using the word "and " to seperate the phrases it looks to me like they are different . Anyone have any comments on this for me ? Thanks
P.S. How do you copy and paste here ?
