Taking Jesus’ words for what they mean, therefore, when a mate is guilty of such serious sexual immorality the innocent mate may Scripturally divorce such a one, if he or she so desires. One who obtains a divorce on such Scriptural grounds is also Scripturally free to remarry, not thereby being subject to a charge of adultery.

So in the same Watchtower magazine we have 2 different opinions.But I think your is the right one because is some months later. But still this makes me think who wrote the first one !

But not upvote your own posts! Lol!

ha ha ha yes you are right, ok answer me and I will vote for you :-P

It is my humble opinion that the generation scenario that started from Millerites, is completely wrong because takes as given that the prophecy of Jesus about the distraction of Jerusalem will have a second fulfillment. No! we do not know if there will be a generation from 1914 (or whatever date) until the end. This is not scriptural, no one knows except the Father. If someone gives dates is a false prophet. if someone says the light will be brighter ... in order to prophecy is a dangerous person. We Christians of the last days ... we are no Prophets! We must have love ... this is our characteristic.

Ah, I see you've read this article too:

yes sis Ann, I quoted from this, my English are not so good to express my self that way. I also read this:
http://www.yrm.org/establishingpassover.htm
which I think is from Russelite brothers and I appreciate not all of it but many I see there.

Thank you, you are a very good person, if you ever visit Greece,or need my help, I will be glad to assist you.

Although it's a lot easier for us English-speaking folks not to have to transliterate your name from Greek when addressing you, it is a bit of a cheat to have Γιαννης upvote/like posts by Giannis. 

Sorry somebody in the forum hacked in my Γιαννης account or limited my movements ... so I use the new one when I can not access something with the old... (but I do can vote with the old account that's why I keep it... they didn't take that from me yet).

Sorry I am writing from my new account but i was blocked from my old one to some specific questions including this one.


Thank you for answering my question as to why you are not negative.


Thank you for your comfort (Luke 22:43). When I say: "I do not attend to my congregation anymore" I don't mean that I do not attend any meeting ... of course I am a religious person and I Just came from my regularly Sunday preaching work.

I am just avoiding some people like Jesus because my time did not come yet.

I am glad to hear that you are a free person and only slave of the Lord Jesus. May your Lord bless you !

No more there than yourself I would suggest.

And due to that, "likely undipped" is as hypothetical as any other suggestion.

However, I prefer your suggested scenario here and see no problem with it at all as long as the fact that Jesus used that gesture to identify the traitor to John as well as Judas himself is not lost. As Judas also dipped his own bread, (Matt. 26:23) Jesus action would have to be distinctive. Due to the seating arrangements, there may have been a limit to those whom Jesus would have been able to personally reach with bread that he himself dipped. More conjecture however.

Anyway, as to the captalised conclusions...I beg to differ.

Look I had to make new account so I could reply to you. Somebody really hates me on this forum... hahaha
I will try to improve my self, and thank you for your suggestions.
Look I am like Peter the apostle ... am a very passionate person... and above all I hate hypocrites in and out the organization.
I do not attend to my congregation anymore because elders (one of them told me secretly) have orders from the overseer to call me to a meeting and to try to find a reason to disfellowship me. The problem for them is I am very careful so far and I only make questions. But I know that in a closed room... without witnesses .... anything bad can happen to me. I really have hope that is not too late for the organization to change and be saved.... my words , even in this forum , annoying some people ... which people will not have to be annoyed if they really had the truth ... because the truth have nothing to be afraid of.
Even my question are now baptized as posts and brought up here in the "Parking Lot for Controversial Posts".

My knowledge about the customs of the east comes from my family. I have blood from the east, The tables in the time of Jesus would have been round, not very big in size, and all the apostles would have been gathered around this table. If Jesus took bread dipped it and gave it to Judas, that doesn't mean that He put it to him mouth, Judas probably took it and ate it from Jesus's hand. The distances for a dozen of people are no so great. I still believe that the bread was an ordinary bread on this occasion. And I think the memorial is for all his followers, not just for some elite. Just don't eat it if you don't deserve it !
we don't have the scriptural proof that the bread and the wine are only for the anointed. but I will continue to learn and I am open. I am no bitter person with hatred and all that ....
wish : may you enjoy being a disciple of Jesus !

Don't forget that the Jews are counting lunar months (29 or 30 days long each month). JWs are counting Gregorian calendar months (28/29 or 30 or 31 days long) and just pay attention to the lunar cycle for one month only - for calculating their equivalent of Nisan 14. The timing of the (approximate) full moon after the spring equinox serves to offset any major drift between the JW method and the Jewish one - about a month's difference at worst.

I see it now. They are listing the first full day, not starting from the evening before which would make our date on the equivalent of the start of Nisan 13. Probably the difference is because of the leap day adjustment so that Passover doesn't start on one of the three "forbidden" days of the week.

Thanks a lot. Now I understand !

I think the New World Translation 2013 page 1734 resolves the matter : "We simply don't know how God’s ancient servants pronounce this name".

Nice one !

Hey Eoin Joyce, I had to make a new account to reply on this question. No I am not asking this. I believe Jesus forgives. I am asking why the congregation cannot forgive someone who repent. And I think your answer is the best...
