It seems that G. Jackson got confused during his presentation relating to Jesus and his going to Magadan. ( Check out Lloyd Evans "Magadangate") But the JW community seems very hesitant and quiet on this apparent "faux pas". Has anyone had any feedback from JW's that you know on this or are they just sweeping it under the carpet as being nothing of particular note?

it is a town in Russia, but sounds like the Philippines. actually it is mangaldan. there. An assembly site with toilets with full horizon to horizon sky view. but a notch up from the stick carrying israelites

I don't understand why Mr Jackson is talking about having to decide what Jesus said where . I've read all the accounts again and can't see any sense to the question

So, Geoffrey Jackson conflated the account of the feeding of the 4,000 in Matthew 29 and the feeding of the 5,000 in John 6. So what. He made a mistake. What a fuss about nothing.

Speaking of minor mistakes, Lloyd Evans says the GB is "exposing themselves in full HD", while JW Broadcasting maxes out at 720p.

They are going to make a film of the life of Jesus so they are trying to figure out when he said this or that so they can plan the scenes.

" They are going to make a film of the life of Jesus so they are trying to figure out when he said this or that so they can plan the scenes."
Must be a nightmare trying to do that, the Gospels contradict themselves on many things, and it would seem are not written with due care as to the order of events and statements etc. What uniformity there is comes from the Gospel of Mark being written first, and "Matthew" and "Luke" cribbing from it. The writer of John goes his own way, and changes many things. Even the day and time of Jesus' death. I wonder how they will waffle around THAT ?
