All of this need to know stuff, after covering for someone who sealed his records going back to kindergarten.
I wonder what they did during the Romney campaign.

I put this down yesterday, got 6 dislikes and by today that is exactly the main stream media reaction.
Susan Rice is married to Ian Cameron, an ABC producer.
What do you expect?

Circuit Accounts Servants Confesses how the SCAM WORKS!!
by JT inyes, i too have wondered how an assembly that is held in a fully paid for assembly hall, with no food service, could possibly have $10,000 in expenses.
i suppose the bethel speakers have transportation expenses - maybe $1000 or so.
as for rent on the assembly hall, well you have already paid for it once, why pay again?

The Pagan Origins of the Memorial Observed by Jehovah’s Witnesses
by David_Jay in“we don’t celebrate holidays because god doesn’t approve of any celebration that is rooted in pagan customs and manmade traditions.” (see here for a similar jw response.).
if you were once an ex-jw like me, you have probably said something like this out in field service to someone who asked the question: why don’t you people celebrate holidays?
as the witnesses' official website states in an faq about not celebrating easter:.

I am sorry my friend but I can't understand your reaction, if you can't have an intelligent exchange and listen to a different point of view, then you are acting like a hardcore JW. Don't worry about a hijacking of your thread I am done.
Sayonara and sorry if I aggravated you.

Let me clarify that I am not defending anything, I am just trying to set the record straight as to JW beliefs. The outline of the Memorial talk shows that the JW version is that the Memorial is a separate celebration than the Passover and that it was instituted after that celebration; this is the direct quote:
Jesus instituted the Memorial of his death with those with whom he made a covenant for his heavenly Kingdom, the members of which are limited to 144,000 (Lu 22:28-30)
Once a year on the anniversary date.
This would also be consistent with the fact that the Lord’s Evening
Meal was instituted on the date of the Jewish Passover, a yearly celebration that no longer had to be kept by Jews who had become Christians. Reasoning page 268Going by your bullet 1 it seems that you agree with the idea that the Memorial as observed by the JW was a separate arrangement:
1. The Memorial/Lord's Supper/Eucharist was indeed instituted by Jesus.

If your are approach comes from the Jewish perspective I will guess that you are correct. The actual JW celebration is not based on such traditions, the actual celebration is "the Lords evening meal" and is presented as a date instituted at the time of the last meal. I don't think that is needed to go to times immemorial to search for the origin of the occasion, it is clearly understood that started with Christ and not before.

In all honesty I find the argument thin. The Jewish religion was Christ religion, and the fact that he said "keep doing this" validates the celebration.
