Worldwide, millions of these indefatigable Jehovah’s Witnesses have begun their campaign to invite the people to the Memorial of Jesus’ Death, scheduled to be held on April 12, 2025 at 7:30 p.m.
The invitations being handed out by these JW people show all the details of this event, particularly the venue and location.
To reach as many people as possible for this important occasion, these witnesses will knock on their neighbors’ houses and apartments, walk long distances, especially in the countryside, and cross rivers to find people even in some remote places in other parts of the world.
To let people know how important Christ’s role is in giving his life as a ransom for our sins, these witnesses will go out of their comfort zones to invite people to this memorial event in whatever weather they might encounter.
They are always ready to share the Scriptural reason for the value of Jesus’ dying for our sins, like in Matthew 20:28, which says, “Just as the Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister and to give his life as a ransom in exchange for many.”
In the Philippines, with the hot weather, most of these witnesses are seen going house-to-house ministry with umbrellas and wearing light clothes. They usually preach in groups and work by twos when they knock on their neighbors’ houses.
These days, in Toronto, these witnesses are always seen doing their ministry by groups of young and old men and women of different races.
The Memorial of Jesus’ Death is the most important event among these JW people because the Bible says in Luke 22:19, “Also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: “This means my body, which is to be given in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me.”
Yearly, this Memorial of Jesus’ death is the only important event they hold dear because of Jesus’s command, “Keep doing this in remembrance of me.”
They are not even celebrating Easter as most people in Christendom do because Jesus wants the people to remember his\ death, not his resurrection.
Why not give these Witnesses a chance to explain why they are not celebrating Easter?
It might be new knowledge to most people that Easter is of pagan origin; it has something to do with fertility rites.
These Witnesses want to ensure their beliefs are solidly based on the Holy Scriptures—any beliefs not based on the Bible and Bible principles they reject outright.
Another free event, a special talk about “Can Truth Be Found,” will be held in most of their Kingdom Halls the week before the Memorial of Jesus’ death on April 6.
