We celebrate the Memorial that Christ instituted with his last Passover celebration, because he said to:
"Keep doing this, in remembrance of me". --Luke 22:19
It is the only occasion he told his followers to observe.
Nisan 14 every year, which this year corresponds to April 2.

16,383,333 attenders, including:
..6,613,829 Jehovah's Witnesses
..9,769,504 non-Jehovah's Witness attenders
So, more people who weren't Jehovah's Witnesses attended throughout the world in 235 lands, than who were!

Is that when he died or rose from the grave?
I never was clear on that.
I know what that means there is this guy that i study with.
I am going with him. It is at 8pm. He has invited everyone around here. His name is David.
He preaches all the time. He makes more sense than most people. There is a lot of people going who are not JW's

Yes I did know, though your start time is not universally accurate. Also some Memorial Services are being held off site.

That's so sweet of you to tell everyone. My congregation will be at our large assembly hall along with other congregations in the area. I'm sure where ever we are the talk will be wonderful and appreciated by everyone there.

*groans*
The 'big invitational' is something that even the Jehovah's Witnesses in my family think is stupid. Please do not carry it on the net as well. At least go out and physically hand them out.
