  Without dark Satanic factories churning out razors by the million every day I suspect there will be a lot of beards. And don't even mention hairy armpits!

  I am not sure they they would need to remove any of AM3's videos

  Meanwhile.....

  I have just put "Anthony Morris" in the search in jw org and all manner of videos of and about him are displayed. He has of course been deleted from the list of GB members.

  Has Tony been abducted by Aliens?

  probably but they’ve sent him back pretty darn quick!

  i have from a very reliable source that he attends one of the poughkeepsie ny congregations.

  i think there are 5 congregations there might be worth paying a visit if anyone lives near there..

  I thought he was at the same congregation as one of his sons in South Carolina.

  In Sarf London we say "All mouth and no trousers"☺️

  Not being in London, Sarf or otherwise, we tend to say "All fur coat and no knickers!"
  

  In answer to the question however, I am sad to say yes, I was regular at all the meetings. Tuesday evening group study plus an hour D2D prior to that during the summer. Thursday evening M/S and S/M. Saturday morning D2D, Sunday morning D2D, afternoon P/T and W/T.

  Talk about a waste of a life.

  Nisan 14 or not?

  by LostintheFog1999 in

  if 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?.

  JW's calculate Nisan 14 to be 14 days from when they estimate the crescent of the said new moon will be visible over Jerusalem. Needless to say they are often wrong. A few years ago they said the new moon would NOT be visible on this particular day but in fact it was clearly visible both in Jerusalem and also the UK.

  The Jews calculate Passover to be on Nisan 15 which they calculate as 14 days from the astronomical new moon which is why Passover almost always coincides with the full moon and the JW Memorial usually does not. This year the full moon is about 06:30 tomorrow (Thursday) but still on Nisan 15.

  The Israelites left Egypt on the morning after the Passover, it was still Nisan 14 of course by JW reckoning. In view this I asked an elder to explain the meaning of Numbers 33:3. He told me I think too much which is not good!

  For anyone interested it's worth drawing out a timeline of events for Nisan 14/15 bearing in mind the crazy explanation for "between the two evenings". Then ask how long it would take you to kill a sheep, bleed it, skin and gut it and then roast it whole over an open fire. I've never tried it but extrapolating from the time it takes Sis England to cook a leg of lamb in a modern insulated fan oven.........

  How to send Memorial greetings?

  by CuriousAboutJW in

  i have a friend who is a witness, and i wanted to send them a message on tuesday, but i'm not entirely sure what to say.

  "happy memorial" doesn't seem quite right.

  what are some appropriate greetings to send on the day of the memorial of jesus christ?.

  Why is it Tuesday the 4th instead of Friday the 7th ("Good Friday," when may other Christian denominations commemorate the death of Christ)?

  Easter is a "Moveable Feast" so it will always fall on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. There is a readily available formula to calculate this.

  As explained above JW's Memorial is calculated similarly to the Passover in most years.

  Is it possible to come off being anointed and be other sheep and still be an Bethel elder?

  As I understand it if an anointed one is disfellowshipped and later reinstated they do not become one of the other sheep. They remain as anointed, there is no "second prize".

  This situation arose years ago with an anointed sister who fell away and disassociated for many years. Then her son died tragically and she came back to the meetings and resumed D2D etc. At the first Memorial she did not partake but apparently the CO had words with her as above and she resumed partaking until her death.

  As regards AMIII I have never heard a single comment about him in the congregation so I assume no one knows/cares about the situation.

  There was a special forces armed unit or whatever very close to the KH at the time of the shooting and their very prompt arrival undoubtedly saved many lives. A sister in our congregation said this was clearly Jehovah's direction to save so many. I despair.

  Neither have any experience in life. They have never had a full time job, family, mortgage, utility bills and generally making ends meet. When did they last rush in from work, grab a bite, a shower and off to the meeting with the wife and kids?
