i believe the early christians going back as far as constantine changed the ritual of a savior coming and the resurrection of the messiah from the spring equinox to the following full moon.
or should i say the full moon after the spring equinox.
so why the change?
What change?
There were two groups from long before Constantine:
One group celebrated Easter on the Sunday immediately after the post equinox full moon (unless the moon landed on that date).
The other group on the same date as the Jewish Passover...the date of that full moon.
And then there's calendrical differences that last to this day (Julian vs Gregorian).
Whatever the system, to this day Easter is a moveable feast. The solar date varies based on the position of the post equinox moon.
.
"Each year, this observance is the most amazing unifying event that takes place on planet earth."
Such a liar. Anyone who has experienced the carefully synchronized crescendo of snores emitted during a Gerrit Losch address on a Sunday afternoon knows this honor goes to a JW convention.
may 1969. i didn't know i was in trouble.now, years later, i suddenly do see it.. we're not talking drugs.
i never did drugs.
ever.nothing is worse than stone cold sober.what i did was more destructive: i had mainlined on god.a weird brand of god: jehovah god.. i was shredded and unaware.
So you stomped it in an underpowered car. How brave. Really great. You Boomers act like you're the only generation that's ever lived. Nobody cares other than that it will have to all be paid for by the rest of us. You people screwed the pooch but we get the bills.

Im sure this will be largely ignored by the libs who decried trunp as a mad man and thought obamas timidity was laudable.
He said it 20 years ago.
this came up recently with my dyed-in-the-wool jw pioneer mother, who swears up and down that there are no scriptural instances of this happening.
i seem to remember a couple passages, but can't remember where they were..
Humbled: There is a big, BIG, difference between Roman Catholic liturgy and the far more ancient liturgy of Judaism--which is far more ancient by thousands of years.
As someone descended from Sephardi crypto Jews and who has attended both Jewish and Catholic services on more than a few occasions, I call bullshit. The similarities are striking, which is to be expected for two religions coming from a common cultural source. As for modern Judaism, it itself is a derivative of an older religion, making it less ancient than Jews claim. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbinic_Judaism

Saudi Arabia is liberalizing. Isis is scrubbed. Asian countries are lining up with us against China.
And now North Korea is talking de-nuclearization?
They told me we'd all be dead by now from global thermonuclear world war 3 if we elected Trump.
"I won't rule out direct talks with Kim Jong Un, I just won't. As far as the risk of dealing with a madman is concerned, that’s his problem, not mine, Trump told more than 600 attendees"
what i'm saying is the white race is the only one that has a verity of eye and hair colors , so what gives?
is it that this race was influenced genetically by a group of pre humans that didn't mix with other races?

Outahere, you sure you ain't my cousin Jimmy? He disappeared a spell back what with the drugs n shit. But I 'member clear as a bell he liked guns a lot and didn't care much for the dark skinned folk.
But give 'im a mentally handicapped white chick and he'd be all over that shit. Easy pickens he'd say.
Jimmy? Is that you?

I suppose 3,781 years ago, admirers of Nimrod were wondering the same.
"Why are we Black people so different? Just look at what we have accomplished! Why, our civilization has conquered the world. Now, let's take a shot at Heaven!"
According to the Bible, our troubles began in a Garden, then later, on an Ark.
Such a shame sistah. Back then our pipo ruled. We built de pyramids and we wuz kangs and sheeit.

memorial invitation : subliminal message.
at first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the invitation but on closer look a disturbing detail becomes apparent.it is in the upper right corner of the illustration of jesus christ celebrating the last supper with his disciples in the upper room...there seem to be trees outside the window but on closer inspection, all thanks to the pdf format of the invitation that allows you a very close look down to the fine detail, these are not trees but letters!!!.
What do you think
JW bigwigs don't have either the smarts or the inclination to engage in such idiocy.
