  i'm having an ongoing texting conversation with my mom right now on the march 23rd memorial date.

  she completely goes into cult mode.. me: why is the memorial on march 23rd this year and not april 22nd/23rd when the corresponding nissan 14 commences?

  since when did the organization stop following the jewish calendar for passover?.

  Wow the Jewish calendar sounds more complex than I thought and sounds like there is an explanation. This is the last response I gave

  Me: Good lord mom why does everything have to be with finding fault. You go to meetings, do u not? I was thinking when they introduced the memorial dates to the congregations that maybe there was some announcement or talk about the memorial dates and why the month difference. This year is a leap year after all and the Jewish jubilee just passed so I thought possibly there was some un known factors or a witness explanation.

  Her: Im going out to invite people to the memorial and im in a hurry. Not close to any thing in _______! I am doing research, didnt have as much time when you were little!

  I'm having an ongoing texting conversation with my mom right now on the march 23rd memorial date. She completely goes into cult mode.

  ME: Why is the memorial on March 23rd this year and not April 22nd/23rd when the corresponding Nissan 14 commences? Since when did the organization stop following the Jewish calendar for passover?

  Her: You are off by a month. Why is Easter on March 27th?

  Me: The society always stubbornly held to their understanding that Jesus memorial should only be celebrated once a year on Nissan 14 like the bible says but now they are a month off. The Jewish passover is April 22nd this year at sundown. Why don't u Google it. The witnesses are a month off

  Me: And For your information easter and passover do not historically always coincide with in the same week. I thought u knew that

  Her: Look in the back of your Bible on B15 the Hebrew Calendar.

  Me: Nope It doesn't explain why all the Jewish calendars this year have April 22nd as the start of passover. The jews have been using their Jewish calendar longer than the witnesses, I would trust when they say Nissan 14 is over the organization

  Her: Arent they the ones who rejected Jesus and killed him. Where is your brain!

  Me: What?!?!? What does that have to do with the wrong dates? Where is your brain. I'm confused on one subject and you try and bring up another

  Me: Just forget it. If you're not concerned about celebrating the memorial on the wrong date then It's no big deal.

  Her: You trust the natural Jews who do not believe Jesus was even the Messiah?

  Me: I trust they know their calendar and when they are suppose to celebrate passover. How they viewed and treated Jesus is another topic. Did you want to discuss my views on jews and their past actions regarding jesus?

  Her: Why dont you go on JW. Org and ask the question?

  Me: I was just about to suggest that since obviously you don't know why there's a month difference. I take it that they didn't have a talk about it at the kingdom hall so if I find out anything I'll let u know unless u care to find out for yourself

  Her:(just as I was about to post all the above) If all you care to do is find fault with the organization or that I havent done enough research. Think what you want. I love Jehovah and his son Jesus and the important thing is that we observe what he commanded us to do and what he did for us. You are just looking for faults. We all have them. If this organization is not being used by Jehovah, it will fail. Will it not?

  Hmm how to respond to this last one?

  I really really DID NOT want to have my first son circumcised. I thought it was unecessary but my husband did not want his sons to feel different from him since he was circumcised and since we were full blown JWs at the time I had to submit. Being post partum and emotional i cried hard after it was done. It was so distressing to hear my son screaming, even now thinking about it I cringe. Of course I ended up having all boys so I had to go through it 2 more times! Although it got easier with each one.

  As far as preference I don't have experience with uncircumcised but I have seen porn videos of uncut and I will say it looked like the ladies struggled more giving BJ'S with the extra skin so maybe I feel fortunate to have a circumcised hubby.

  What?! How did they get so off. And my kitchen calendar says passover is April 23rd. Is it 23 after sundown starts Nissan 14 or 22nd after sundown. Jewish days are sunset to sunset right?

  Im thinking along the lines of dubstepped. This is a loaded thread aimed to goad believers. There are mysteries surrounding the bible and God just like there are mysteries and unknowns in the scientific world

  my name is stephen and i am new to the forum.

  i am a christadelphian and through my discussions with fellow members of my ecclesia it has inspired me to reach out to other religions to find out exactly what others believe to enhance my own faith and further bring me closer to our heavenly father.

  in no way do i mean disrespect if it has been caused.

  If Billy is cherry picking then what are doing Jwfacts? If people want to cherry pick from the bible isn't it better they pick the good over the bad?

  What's a word that describes the way Witnesses behave as a group?

  by paul from cleveland in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i can't recall the word that describes a group that keeps to itself like the witnesses do.

  i thought it was "insular" but i don't think that's the one i'm looking for after reading the definition.

  i remember an elder using the word "clannish" and that has the proper definition but it reminds me of a group of elves.
