Munyori wacho akarangarira kuti vafundisi vechokwadi vaiva zvishandiso zvokuchinja kwenzanga uye kwemari. Zvisinei, paSvondo, March 5, 1995, paJersey City Assembly Hall yeZvapupu zvaJehovha, mhinduro yorudzi rwakasiyana zvikuru yakapiwa zvine simba. Yakanga iri nhambo yei? Kupedza kufunda kwekirasi yechi 98 yeWatchtower Bible School of Gilead—chikoro chakatumira vafundisi munyika yose!
Pashure perwiyo rwokuzarura nomunyengetero, Albert D. Schroeder weMutumbi Unodzora nenzira youshamwari akachingamidza vose vane 6 430 avo vakapinda. Mutsinhiro dzavo dzokuzarura, Hama Schroeder vakajekesa chikonzero nei vakapedza kufunda veGilead vakasiyana navamwe vakazvidana vamene kuti vafundisi. Vakati: “Bhaibheri ndiro bhuku guru rinofundwa reGilead.” Vanopedza kufunda veGilead vanorovedzwa kuva, kwete vashandi vemunzanga, asi vadzidzisi veShoko raMwari. Ivo nokudaro vakakwaniriswa nenzira inoshamisa kutarisira zvinodikanwa zvomudzimu zvavanhu vari munzvimbo dzokumwe.
Vakurukuri vakatevera vakakurukura dzimwe nharaunda dzakawanda madziri vanopedza kufunda veGilead vanopa ufakazi hwokuva vafundisi “chaivoivo.” Charles Molohan akataura kwavari panhau yokuti, “Pfuurirai Kubereka Zvibereko Zvakaisvonaka Savafundisi.” Achishandisa mashoko omuapostora Pauro ari pana VaKorose 1:9, 10 (NW), Hama Molohan vakayeuchidza vakapedza kufunda kuti mwedzi yavo mishanu yakapfuura vari paGilead yakanga yavabetsera kuwedzera “muzivo yakarurama yaMwari.” Ikoku kwaizovabetsera kubereka zvibereko munzira mbiri: kupfurikidza nokuratidzira zvibereko zvomudzimu waMwari uye kupfurikidza nokugoverana zvokwadi dzeBhaibheri navamwe.
Daniel Sydlik woMutumbi Unodzora akatevera nemusoro unozorodza “Usabvumiranisa Upenyu Hwako Pane Zvisina Kufanira.” Vakadudza mubvunzo waJesu, wokuti: “Munhu ucharipeiko kuti adzikinure upenyu hwake?” (Mateo 16:26) Hama Sydlik vakati: “Vanhu vakatsinhanisa mweya yavo nokuda kwomuraramire uri nyore zvikuru, wakapfava zvikuru.” Zvisinei, avo vane kutenda kupenyu havagoni kubvumirana pane zvisina kufanira pasinei zvapo nemiedzo nokuedzwa. Mashoko aJesu anoratidza kuti munhu anofanira kuva anodisa ku“pa,” ndiko kuti, kubayira, kuitira kuti awane mweya wake, kana kuti upenyu. Vafundisi vatsva vakakurudzirwa kupa Jehovha zvavari zvose, zvakanakisisa zvavo, mubasa rake!
Tevere, William Van de Wall weBato reDare reBasa akataura panhau inoti, “Muapostora Pauro—Muenzaniso Wakafanirwa Nokutevedzera.” Hama Van de Wall vakatsanangura, kuti: “Pauro akatungamirira basa roufundisi muzana rokutanga ramakore.” Nenzira yakakodzera, ipapoka, nharaunda ina dzakasimbiswa madziri muapostora Pauro akagadza muenzaniso wakanaka nokuda kwavafundisi nhasi: (1) itiro hanya yechokwadi yaPauro nerudo nokuda kwavanhu, (2) kubudirira kwake muushumiri, (3) kuramba kwake kune mwero kuzvisimudzira amene, (4) kuvimba kwake naJehovha kusina kupokana.
“Jehovha Ngaakunzvere Mumugove Wako Mutsva” ndiwo wakanga uri musoro wakakurukurwa naLyman A. Swingle weMutumbi Unodzora. Achishandisa rugwaro rwezuva, Pisarema 139:16, Hama Swingle vakabvuma kuti, savafundisi vatsva, vaizosangana nezvinetso mumigove yavo uye kuti Jehovha anoziva zvigadzikiso zvacho. “Endai kwaari,” akakurudzira kudaro, “taurai naye pamunenge mune chinetso. Tsvakai chiri kuda kwake.”
John E. Barr weMutumbi Unodzora ipapo akataura pamusoro unoti, “Kutenda Kwenyu Kunokura Kwazvo.” (2 VaTesaronika 1:3) Pana Ruka 17:1, tinorava kuti Jesu akati: “Hazvingaitiki kuti zvigumbuso zvisauya.” Vamwe vakagumburwa nounhu hwavafundisi biyavo. Asi Hama Barr vakakurudzira vafundisi kuva nokutenda kunodikanwa kuva vanokanganwira. Zvirokwazvo, makanga muri muaya mashoko akapoteredza umo vadzidzi vaJesu vakakumbira, kuti: “Tiwedzerei kutenda.” (Ruka 17:2-5) Kutenda kwavafundisi kungaedzwawo negadziridzo dzakasiyana-siyana dzesangano. “Tine kutenda kwokugamuchira idzodzi here,” vakabvunza kudaro Hama Barr, “kana kuti dzichava mhinganidzo dzakaita semakomo?”
Tevere kwakauya zano rakapiwa navarayiridzi vaviri veGilead. Jack Redford akakurudzira vakapedza kufunda kuchengeta chimiro chendangariro chakanaka. Akataura nezvemumwe mufundisi akasiya mugove wake mukudavidza kukutsvinyirwa navafundisi biyake. Magwaro, zvisinei, anotinyevera pamusoro pokusagumbuka zvisiri madikanwa. (Muparidzi 7:9) “Ivai nechimiro chendangariro chakanaka,” akarayira kudaro. “Ivai vanokanganwira zvikanganiso nokusakwana kwavamwe vakakupoteredzai.”
U. V. Glass, munyori weGilead, ipapo akabvunza, kuti: “Makagadzirira here kugonana ne‘nguva nezvinoitika’”? (Muparidzi 9:11) “Muraramire wedu nguva dzose unogona kuchinja,” vakadaro Hama Glass, “uye kumwe kwacho kunogona kuva kunorwadza zvikuru.” Vamwe vafundisi vakatarisana nenzira isingakarirwi noutano husina kunaka, chirwere, uye zvinetso zvemhuri, kuchimanikidzira vamwe kusiya migove yavo. “Pasinei zvapo nechingava chiitiko chisingafanoonwa,” vakadaro Hama Glass, “tinoziva kuti Jehovha anoziva nezvacho uye anoitira hanya. Kana tikavimba naye, tinoziva kuti tichakunda!”
Hurukuro yaiva nomusoro unoti “Vakatsaurwa Nokuda Kwebasa Roufundisi” yakagumisa nhevedzano yamangwanani yehurukuro. Theodore Jaracz weMutumbi Unodzora akakurukura mubvunzo wamutswa pakuvamba, wokuti, “Mufundisi chii?” Mumhinduro, akakurukura Mabasa ganhuro 13 ne 14 pamusoro pebasa roufundisi raPauro naBharnabhasi. Nenzira yakajeka, basa iroro rakanangidzirwa, kwete pakurapa zvinetso zvenzanga, asi pa‘kuzivisa mashoko akanaka.’ (Mabasa 13:32) Hama Jaracz vakabvunza, kuti: “Hamubvumi here kuti Pauro naBharnabhasi vakaratidzira icho mufundisi chaiye anofanira kuva?” Mufundisi ane ruzivo rwokuzviwanira Robert Tracy weMexico ipapo akakumbirwa kuti agoverane zvimwe zvezvakaitika zvake amene zvinofadza somuevhangeri.
Purogiramu yamangwanani yakasvika mugumo wayo sezvo Hama Schroeder vakagovera madhipuroma kuvakapedza kufunda 48.

Mitezo yekirasi yechi 98 yakapindura mibvunzo. Ikoku kwakateverwa nenhevedzano inofadza yebvunzurudzo dzakaitiswa nemitezo yavashandi veGilead. Vateereri vakakurudzirwa zvikuru sezvo vakapedza kufunda vakagoverana zvakaitika zvavo zvemumunda ndokutaura mirangariro yavo pamusoro pemigove yavo yokumwe.
Kwamakore matanhatu nehafu, Gilead yakanga iri pazvivako zveWatchtower Society muWallkill, New York. Muna April 1995, zvisinei, chikoro chacho chakatamisirwa kuWatchtower Educational Center itsva muPatterson, New York. Mhuri yeBheteri paWallkill yakanzwa sei pamusoro peiyi chinjo?
