   Friend james fails, on purpose?, to answer the NT example of the apostles.   
   Does the jw vatican follow that biblical example of when and how often?   
   Short answer, not even close.  Compared to the example of the early church,   
   why does the jw vatican withold the practice for only a tiny number.  Why   
   did how that is determined become an example of a jw vatican flip flop on   
   supposed "bible facts"?

   Had you read the first sentence above that month was specified.   
      
   In fact it happened this year on april 5th starting sundown not the 4th.   
      
   An swer still on tyhe table, did the OT example have pagan origins as some   
   contend? >
