Was it just me or was something different about the memorial last night?
by kpop inthis was the first memorial that i declined to do any work for the memorial.
i was assigned as a parking attendant after getting downgraded from doing the sound and had no intention of doing either task but i had to attend for my family and continuation of my fade.
i sat there last night listening to the talk and couldn't help but shake my head as my brain attempted to process the bs.

Why the Memorial Is Held on the Wrong Day
by Leolaia intonight on the evening of april 18, 2011, observant jews worldwide will celebrate passover seder, a night "different from all other nights".
the watchtower society annually schedules the memorial for jehovah's witnesses on a date that is supposed to coincide with the jewish observance of passover, as it would have been reckoned during second temple times (in particular, in the first century ad during the life of jesus).
this year the memorial was observed last night, the evening of april 17. the two religious observances are thus a day out of synth, at least this year.

This topic of a substitution atonement component to the ransom (Jesus for Adam) was why Charles Russell split from Nelson H. Barbour (co-publisher of Herald of the Morning) and started to publish Zion’s Watch Tower and Herald of Christ’s Presence (July 1879, first issue)
This can be shown with Proclaimers pg 46-47, but a better job is done by M. James Penton in Apocalypse Delayed pg.23-24. He explains it in a balanced way, in greater detail, and above all - Cites his sources in an index.
One aspect not covered by WT literature that Penton shows, is how certain aspects of this Ransom doctrine lead to on of the big splits among the Bible Students. The so-called "New Covenant Schism". Apocalypse Delayed pg 40.

Any new-comer to this site would be well advised to read Leolaia's posts and make good use of the search function. It has made all the difference in my personal journey.

WT about elder positions
by Gorbatchov inyesterday, visited the hall for family reasons.. wt was about elder positions, educate younger brothers, delegate your work etc.
the usual story about the body of elders, give younger people a change and don't get atached to your position.
what was evident: 90 percent of the answers came from the sisters.. the elders looked like the house cat just eaten tweety.. never heared so much theory and knowing it will be fully ignored.. why make it a 45 minute issue for every tom, dick and harry?.

I suspect much of this study was aimed at those in Special Full-Time Service. Application on the local level was incidental, secondary and a cover for the true intent.
Why else mention Peter, once "overseer of the Service Department", and Paul who took over? The local friends have no clue what the Service Department does. Those in special fulltime service Know that Service is who calls the shots, right behind the Branch and GB.
This whole mag. was subtle jabs at malcontents within Bethels around the world.
