If you read John carefully you will realize that the last passover mentioned He did not celebrate . He was The Passover lamb . The last supper was on the day of preparation , which is the day before .As the Lamb was only one year old . To be the Lamb His ministry was only one year . He came in to Jerusalem on the 10th the same as the lamb that the high priest brought in . Four days of inspection , the same as the lamb . Put to death on the day of preparation the same as the lamb . This is a short explaination . I could give a lot more detail , but hopefully this will get you thinking and look into it more .

14How did the idea that Jesus' ministry lasted 3 1/2 years develop?
by Doug Mason ini previously asked about the evolution in the application of daniel 9 to the christian's jesus.. naturally, leo generously provided the answer, and i am deeply greatful to her for her help!.
she also pointed out that the "solution" that jesus' ministry lasted 3 1/2 years is circular reasoning.
that is, we know that the prophecy is correct and that jesus' ministry lasted for 3 1/2 years because that is what the prophecy had predicted.

Is the LAW still binding?!?!
by EndofMysteries inthis is kinda scary, for those who believe in the bible, first jesus said that he wasn't abolishing just fulfilling the law.
the penalty of sin is death, so he covers that.
many take that as most things are okay then.

Rom 8:1 There is, then, now no condemnation to those who are in Messiah ?????, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Rom 7:14 For we know that the Torah is Spiritual, but I am fleshly,
sold under sin.
Rom 8:2 For the Torah of the Spirit of the life in Messiah ????? has set me free from the law of sin and of death.
Rom 7:14 For we know that the Torah is Spiritual, but I am
fleshly, sold under sin.
Rom 8:3 For the Torah being powerless, in that it was weak through the flesh, Elohim, having His own Son in the likeness of flesh of sin, and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
Rom 8:3 For the Torah ........, condemned sin in the flesh,
Rom 3:20 Therefore by works of Torah no flesh shall be declared right
before Him, for by the Torah is the knowledge of sin.1 Footnote:
1Ex. 20:20, Rom. 4:15, Rom. 7:7.
Rom 7:7 What, then, shall we say? Is the Torah sin? Let it not be! However, I
did not know sin except through the Torah. For also the
covetousness I knew not if the Torah had not said, “You shall not
covet.”
Rom 7:25 Thanks to Elohim, through ????? Messiah our Master! So then, with
the mind I myself truly serve the Torah of Elohim, but with the
flesh the law of sin.
Rom 8:4 so that the righteousness of the Torah should be completed in us who do not walk according to the flesh (sin) but according to the Spirit (Torah). -

Matthew 5:17-18 says (NWT) " Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets . I came , not to destroy , but to fulfill ; for truly I say to you that sooner would heaven and earth pass away than for one smallest letter or particle of a letter to pass away from the Law by any means and not all things take place . "
Has all the Phophets been fulfilled ? No think of Isaiah , Zechariah , Jeremiah , all has not been fulfilled in these books yet . All the feasts of Jehovah have not seen fulfillment yet . Therefore the Law still stands . Jesus never broke the Law of Jehovah , He only broke the law of the scribes and pharasees . The things that they added to the Law . Showing that man made laws and rules mean nothing .

Actually Mary wac a desendant of David's . Read Matt 1:17 notice it says "All the generations then , from Abraham until David were fourteen generations , and from David until the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations , and from the deportation to Babylon until the Christ fourteen generations . " Now count them , the last is only 13 . Why? A translation mistake . vs 16 Joesph the husband of Mary , It should read Joesph father of Mary . There is only one accent point different between father and husband . They have found ancient Aramaic scripts that show this . So that makes vs 17 correct . Also to be of the King linage it had to go through David then Solomon . Matthew does . Luke 3 goes through Nathan another son of David's So Joesph was a decendant of Davids , but not the right linage . With a little research the "GB" should be able to get it right . But wait they are to busy talking directly with their god .

Memorial 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 .

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 .

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 .
