18Changing the Date of the Memorial?
by KalebOutWest ini noticed in the latest memorial invitation, the dates for the observance are odd--well far more odd than usual.. what i mean is that forever as i can remember, jehovah's witnesses use to advertise really big that this was nisan 14. they don't tend to do this anymore.. and being jewish, their dates now tend to align with passover, or at least with the second seder night of passover.. 2025: saturday, april 12 (nisan 15).
2026: thursday, april 2 (nisan 15/16).
2027: monday, march 22 (nisan 15/16).

Nissan 14 is always
the first full moonafter the spring equinox.I misspoke.
Is this true or false:
The Jews counted their months from new moon to new moon.
Nisan 1 starts when the new moon nearest the spring equinox becomes visible at sunset in Jerusalem. Counting 14 days from that event, is always Nisan 14.

The date is not wrong and there is no change to it.
Nissan 14 is always the first full moon after the spring equinox.
March 20, 2025, spring equinox
Sat April 12 at sunset is Nisan 14.
[21 “‘In the first month, on the 14th day of the month, you will observe the festival of the Passover.]

forget about ufos and orbs darting through the skies of new jersey, or the peculiar fog and bizarre weather gripping parts of the world lately.
none of that is on the watchtower’s radar.

1925--2025... 100 years since Rutherford promised paradise earth.
by Witness 007 inrutherford wrote in 1925 "millions now living will never die"...they died.
he also promised that moses and david and all the old bible heroes would live with him in his mansion.
only he lived there till he died in 1942...100 years and not much changed..

the Great Tribulation will likely begin on August 11, 2025 (the disgusting thing that causes desolation being set up). The Great Tribulation will probably last 1,260 days, or 3.5 years. February 21, 2029, could then mark the beginning of Armageddon.
For the GT to start in Aug, the 'pangs of distress' (WW3) would have to occur first, which means it (WW3) has to start between now and July. Then as a result of the POD, the DT will be set up/put in place, which is the nations given their authority to the UN. The UN with that authority would be the 8th king for 42 months, which is the time of GT upon all those refusing to go along with the UN/8th king rule. Then AFTER the 42 months, Armageddon, which is when Jesus comes.
If WW3 does not come, the UN will never be given authority to be 8th king. If the UN never becomes the 8th king, the Biblical GT will never happen. If the Biblical GT never happens, then Armageddon never happens.
Our teaching on the generation will be correct.
I don’t want to reveal too much.

"Yahweh" pronunciation is more correct (w60 8/1 pp. 453-455)
by psyco in.
https://wol.jw.borg/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1960561 (substitute .borg with .org)furthermore, today in every jw publication the tetragrammaton is rendered as yhwh which is more preserved by yahweh than by jehovah..

New International Version I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat (3092.Yehoshaphat). There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.

Here's why it is important to get the right Jesus.
LOL! There is not a part of you that wants to get it right...
This is why Jesus could say He and the Father are one.
He said more than that and yet you fail to acknowledge it...
[20 “I make request, not concerning these only, but also concerning those putting faith in me through their word, 21 so that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in union with me and I am in union with you, that they also may be in union with us, so that the world may believe that you sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you have given me, in order that they may be one just as we are one. 23 I in union with them and you in union with me, in order that they may be perfected into one, so that the world may know that you sent me and that you loved them just as you loved me.]
Just as my sons are begotten by posessing my essence (half my DNA) with them, Jesus was begotten by posessing the essence of God.
So you are saying your sons possess your essence, but all of God's sons do not possess his essence...LOL!
[ 7 When the morning stars joyfully cried out together, And all the sons of God began shouting in applause]
_____________
And apparently you have no reply to something you yourself cited:
[This Greek magazine ] said "Jesus Christ God's Chosen Son"
This agrees with, out of ALL of God's 'spirit being sons', that God chose ONE of them who would be the ONE to come and be born in the flesh as a man (human).
_______________
And apparently you don't want to acknowledge TWO separate witnesses here, you are content with suggesting God is violating his own law by being only ONE witness. - John 8:17,18
In order for there to be TWO witnesses here in this regard, Jesus and Jehovah would have to be TWO separate persons.
What you are trying to claim is if you were in a position to where you needed a second person to back up what you said, that rather than have an actual second person, you can just reason that you SB, have a father which makes you a SON, and that you have sons, so that makes you a FATHER, so you say of yourself that even though you are ONE person, you are a FATHER and a SON, so you don't really need an actual second person to back up what you said, because you being a father and a son counts as being TWO witnesses, even though you are ONE person.

Edit - gods, not god's
So, if we are all constructed like that and in the center of your chart, it shows 'spirit' = God, then that means we are all gods. Is that your view?
And since all the angels are 'spirit' beings as well, then they are all gods too. Is that right? John 10:33,34; Psalm 82:6; Job 38:7

Why would you ask me this since I am the one who posted the scriptures that claims this is how we are constructed?

And since all the angels are 'spirit' beings as well, then they are all god's too. Is that right?
How about the other 3 points I showed...
When is it said, 'it is written in your law' about 'TWO witnesses', it is really God's law isn't it?
Jesus says that he is ONE witness, and his father is ONE witness. Together that makes TWO separate persons, right? If you claim they are ONE person and not TWO, then God would be violating his own law. John 8:17,18
And what do you say about the context of ALL being ONE? John 17:20-23
Lastly, what do you say about what is shown on the site link that you yourself posted to show that 'Jesus is God', yet it says: “Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior.” / "Jesus Christ God's Chosen Son" [This Greek magazine ]
