according to russell in zions watchtower of march 1896 he wanted his little church in allegeheny to celebrate the last supper on nisan14 becuase jesus instituted it then, some time after 6pm, by 3pm the next afternoon, still nisan14 he was dead.. at 6pm three hours later nisan15 began, passover began, and the jews would eat the lamb and bitter herbs, when the sun was down... so russells view was that jesus did not celebrate passover, being dead, on preperation day.. thus jesus died at the time the lambs were being slaughtered in jerusalem.. if i am correct the wt's latest explanation on this is not quite as clear as russells.
they seem to infer the last supper was a seder, a passover celebration, and that the slaughter of the lamb ,eating of the lamb, and jesus death all took place on nisan 14, have i got that right, or as usual is phizzy in a mucking fuddle ?

the mistake between john and the synoptics is because different traditions celebrated the spring equinox celebration on slightly different days. lets not forget jesus doesnt actually stay dead for three full days in either. fri night crucifiction, sat burial, sunday morning resurection is not three days inside the earth.
stop telling everyone your proofs if you your self are shy of commitment.
show some faith and give everything to charity..

this is an honest question on my part.
someone on this board asked me 'how do you know' a while ago and i really struggled with it.
in fact, it was a turning point for me.

god still could have your parents from the beggining the jw were false prophets. prevention is always better than cure. if god can a problem he can also prevent it from germinating.
and things are within a week or two of being d.a.ed/d.f.ed, and my jw best friend sent me an email to check how i was doing.
i was fairly sure that he was very much on the edge of leaving to, or at least that he didn't believe it for a long time.
so i sent him an email in reply and told him basically everything i believed and the reasons i knew jws are not the true religion, and i also told him i was leaving.
in a word bullshit. ive never heard of the scientologists having a war. xianity has killed more ppl than all other religions combined. even jesus own followers carried swords - just look at the story of peter cutting the slaves ear. how come jesus didnt repremand peter before, its not as if he shpuldnt have seen or known about the sword.
if god loves peace how come he is known as jehovah of armies, and not jehovh of peace? why do his chosen ppl the jews always kill others and between themselves every other page in the ot?

wean both point to scie tists here and there and thats a fair comment. however there comes a time where must also use logic . back on the article on today being the hottest time for 8000 years. how does one explain what caused the rises all that time ago ? weather and climate are never constant, anyone can examine simple graphs and history to verify this. most climate changers always point to observations and reports never discussing why or how much has changed. why is it no one noticed climate change ten to fifteen years ago ? if we have been getting so much hotter since a long time how come this only became obvious a few years ago ? i personally dont remember anything about global warming before 2000.

its not impossible to guess the hour of the day by simply looking at the sun and shadows. ancient ppl did it all the time.
how would you respond to the following statement:.
no one was negatively affected or died by heeding past understandings on blood fractions, organ transplant, hemodilution, etc.
most of the past understandings on medical procedures existed when the treatments were not being used on a large scale.. .
yes god loves sacrifices, isaac, jephthahs daughter, defeated enemies and today unlucky kids. the truth is jehovah is moloch after all malkizadek is a priest to moloch and yet is said to also pray to yhwh.

the watchtower bible and tract society pretends that the bible "really is gods inspired word" -the watchtower march 1, 2010 p. 4-7. but is it true?
if god has inspired the bible, how come the bible doesnt mention many important things?
the bible particularly the ot is about obedience to god via his represemtatives the priests. they want sacrifices, money, the best of the best and if you poor barstards dont pay up god will kill you. its obvious the jews thsemselves got sick of this scam because few returned from babylon most chose to stay and avoid the tyrants in jerusalem, in short they are part of the protoypescam religion which still exists today in buildings painted different colours.
