Kukumbukira Carl Olof Jonsson (1937 - 2023)

Carl Olof Jonsson, (1937-2023)

Ndangolandira imelo kuchokera kwa Rud Persson, mlembi wa Coup ya Rutherford, kundiuza kuti bwenzi lake lakale komanso mnzake wochita kafukufuku, Carl Olof Jonsson, wamwalira m’mawa uno, April 17, 2023. M’bale Jonsson akanatha zaka 86. chakale mu December chaka chino. Anasiya mkazi wake, Gunilla. Rud anazindikira kuti bwenzi lake, Carl, anali mwana weniweni wa Mulungu. Atamva za imfa yake, Jim Penton anandiitana ine nati: “Carl Olof Jonsson anali bwenzi lapamtima kwa ine ndipo ndimamusowa kwambiri. Anali msilikali weniweni wa Chikristu choona ndiponso katswiri wamaphunziro apamwamba.”

Sindinakhalepo ndi mwayi wolankhula ndi Carl ndekha. Podzafika nthaŵi imene ndinadziŵa za iye kupyolera m’ntchito yokonzekera bukhu lake kuti lilisindikizidwe, mkhalidwe wake wamaganizo unali utaipa. Komabe, ndichiyembekezo changa chotsimikizirika kudzam’dziŵa tsiku limenelo pamene tonse taitanidwa kukakhala ndi Ambuye wathu.

Mbale Jonsson amadziŵika bwino kwambiri chifukwa cha kufufuza kwake pa ziphunzitso zofunika kwambiri za Watch Tower, za Kukhalapo Kwa Kristu Kosaoneka kwa 1914 kumene Bungwe Lolamulira tsopano likugwiritsa ntchito kudzipatsa ulamuliro wotheratu pa gulu la nkhosa za Mboni za Yehova.

Buku lake limatchedwa: Nthawi za Akunja Zinkaganiziridwanso. Zimapereka umboni wa m'malemba komanso wakudziko kuti maziko onse a chiphunzitso cha JW 1914 ndi chabodza. Chiphunzitso chimenecho chimadalira kwambiri kuvomereza kuti 607 BCE ndi chaka chimene Babulo anagonjetsa Israyeli ndi kuchotsa Ayuda m'dzikolo.

Ngati mungafune kudziwerengera nokha, ikupezeka m'kope lake lachinayi mu Chingerezi ndi Chifalansa pa Amazon.com.

M’bale Jonsson anali mwana wachitsanzo chabwino wa Mulungu. Tonse tingachite bwino kutsanzira chikhulupiriro chake ndi kulimba mtima kwake, chifukwa iye anaika chilichonse panjira kuti alankhule zoona. Chifukwa cha zimenezi, Atsogoleri a Mboni ankamuneneza ndi kunyozedwa chifukwa sanabisire kafukufuku wake, koma chifukwa chokonda abale ndi alongo ake, anakakamizika kuuza ena.

Iye sanalole chiwopsezo cha kukanidwa kumlepheretsa ndipo chotero tingagwiritsire ntchito mawu a pa Ahebri 12:3 kwa iye. Ndikawerenga izi mu New World Translation, chifukwa cha matembenuzidwe onse oti ndisankhe, ili likudontha monyodola malinga ndi mikhalidwe:

“Inde, lingalirani mosamalitsa iye amene anapirira zotsutsa zotere za ochimwa zotsutsana ndi zofuna zawo, kuti mungatope ndi kukomoka m’miyoyo yanu.” ( Ahebri 12:3 )

Ndipo kotero, kwa Carl ife tikhoza kunena, “Gona, m'bale wodala. Pumani mumtendere. Pakuti Ambuye wathu sadzaiwala zabwino zonse zimene munachita m’dzina lake. Ndithudi, iye akutitsimikizira kuti: “Ndipo ndinamva mawu ochokera kumwamba, akuti: “Lemba ichi: Odala ali akumwalira mwa Ambuye kuyambira tsopano. Inde, atero Mzimu, ali odala ndithu; pakuti adzapumula ku ntchito yawo; pakuti ntchito zawo zabwino ziwatsata.”​— Chivumbulutso 14:13 .

Pamene kuli kwakuti Carl salinso ndi ife, ntchito yake ikupirira, chotero ndikulimbikitsa Mboni za Yehova zonse kupenda umboni wa chiphunzitso chawo cha maziko a Kukhalapo kwa Kristu kwa 1914. Ngati chaka chili cholakwika, ndiye kuti zonse nzolakwika. Ngati Khristu sanabwerere mu 1914, ndiye kuti sanasankhe Bungwe Lolamulira kukhala Kapolo Wokhulupirika ndi Wanzeru mu 1919. Izi zikutanthauza kuti utsogoleri wa Gulu ndi wabodza. Iwo apanga chiwembu, kulanda.

Ngati mutha kutenga chinthu chimodzi kuchokera ku moyo ndi ntchito ya Carl Olof Jonsson, lolani kuti mukhale otsimikiza mtima kufufuza umboni ndikupanga malingaliro anu. Zimenezo si zophweka. Ndizovuta kugonjetsa mphamvu ya kuganiza zachikhalidwe. Ndimulola Carl kuti aziyankhula tsopano. Powerenga mawu ake oyamba pansi pamutuwu "Mmene kafukufukuyu adayambira":

Kwa Mboni za Yehova kukayikira kutsimikizirika kwa chiŵerengero chaulosi chimenechi si nkhani yapafupi. Kwa okhulupirira ambiri, makamaka m’dongosolo lachipembedzo lotsekedwa longa ngati gulu la Watch Tower, dongosolo la chiphunzitso limagwira ntchito monga ngati “linga” limene iwo angafunefunemo malo okhala mkati mwake, mumpangidwe wa chisungiko chauzimu ndi chamaganizo. Ngati mbali ina ya dongosolo la chiphunzitsocho ikaikiridwa, okhulupirira oterowo amakonda kuchitapo kanthu motengeka maganizo; amadziteteza, akumaona kuti “linga” lawo likuukiridwa ndipo chitetezo chawo chili pangozi. Njira yodzitetezerayi imapangitsa kuti zikhale zovuta kwambiri kuti amvetsere ndikuwunika zotsutsana pankhaniyi. Mosazindikira, kufunikira kwawo chitetezo chamaganizo kwakhala kofunika kwambiri kwa iwo kuposa kulemekeza kwawo choonadi.

Kufikira kumbuyo kwa mkhalidwe wodzitetezera umenewu wofala kwambiri pakati pa Mboni za Yehova kuti zipeze malingaliro omasuka, omvetsera nkovuta kwambiri—makamaka pamene mfundo yofunika kwambiri monga kuŵerengera zaka za “nthaŵi za Akunja” ikukayikiridwa. Chifukwa cha mafunso oterowo amagwedeza maziko enieni a chiphunzitso cha Mboni motero kaŵirikaŵiri amachititsa Mboni m’magulu onse kukhala odzitetezera mwaukali. Ndakhala ndikukumana ndi machitidwe otero mobwerezabwereza chiyambire 1977 pamene ndinapereka kwanthaŵi yoyamba nkhani za m’bukuli ku Bungwe Lolamulira la Mboni za Yehova.

Munali mu 1968 pamene phunziroli linayamba. Panthaŵiyo ndinali “mpainiya” kapena mlaliki wanthaŵi zonse wa Mboni za Yehova. M’kati mwa utumiki wanga, mwamuna wina amene ndinali kuphunzira naye Baibulo ananditsutsa kutsimikizira deti limene Watch Tower Society inasankha kaamba ka kuwonongedwa kwa Yerusalemu ndi Ababulo, ndilo 607 BCE Iye ananena kuti olemba mbiri onse anaika chizindikiro chimenecho. chochitika monga chinachitika pafupifupi zaka makumi awiri pambuyo pake, mwina 587 kapena 586 BCE Ndinkadziwa bwino izi, koma bamboyo ankafuna kudziwa zifukwa zomwe olemba mbiri ankakonda tsiku lomaliza. Ndinasonyeza kuti chibwenzi chawo chinali chongopeka chabe, chozikidwa pa magwero ndi zolemba zakale zosalongosoka. Mofanana ndi Mboni zina, ndinaganiza kuti Sosaite inalinganiza deti la kuwonongedwa kwa Yerusalemu kukhala bwinja la 607 B.C.E. Komabe, ndinalonjeza mwamunayo kuti ndidzayang’anira nkhaniyo.

Zotsatira zake, ndinayamba kufufuza komwe kunapezeka kuti kunali kozama komanso kosamalitsa kuposa momwe ndimayembekezera. Zinapitiriza mwapang’onopang’ono kwa zaka zingapo, kuyambira 1968 mpaka kumapeto kwa 1975. Panthaŵiyo mtolo wowonjezereka wa umboni wotsutsana ndi deti la 607 B.C.E. unandikakamiza monyinyirika kunena kuti Watch Tower Society inali yolakwa.

Pambuyo pake, kwa kanthawi pambuyo pa 1975, umboniwo unakambidwa ndi mabwenzi apamtima ochepa, ofufuza. Popeza kuti palibe aliyense wa iwo amene akanatsutsa umboni wosonyezedwa ndi chidziŵitso chimene ndinasonkhanitsa, ndinaganiza zopanga nkhani yolembedwa mwadongosolo pafunso lonse limene ndinagamulapo kulitumiza ku malikulu a Watch Tower Society ku Brooklyn, New York.

Nkhani imeneyo inakonzedwa ndi kutumizidwa ku Bungwe Lolamulira la Mboni za Yehova mu 1977. Ntchito imene ilipo pakali pano, yozikidwa pa chikalata chimenecho, inakonzedwanso ndi kukulitsidwa m’kati mwa 1981 ndiyeno inafalitsidwa m’kope loyamba mu 1983. 1983, zopezedwa zatsopano zambiri ndi zowunikira zokhudzana ndi nkhaniyi zapangidwa, ndipo zofunika kwambiri mwa izi zaphatikizidwa m'mabuku awiri omaliza. Maumboni asanu ndi awiri otsutsana ndi chaka cha 607 BCE choperekedwa m'kope loyamba, mwachitsanzo, tsopano wachulukitsa kaŵiri.

Bukuli likupitiriza kusonyeza mmene Bungwe Lolamulira linayankhira nkhani ya Carl, imene inakula kuchoka pa kufuna kuti asunge chidziŵitsocho kwa iye mwini ndi “kudikira Yehova,” ku ziwopsezo ndi njira zowopseza, kufikira potsirizira pake analinganiza kuti achotsedwe. Anapedwa chifukwa cholankhula zoona. Chochitika chodziwika bwino, sichoncho?

Chimene ife, inu ndi ine, tingaphunzire m’chimenechi nchakuti kuima nji kwa Kristu ndi kulalikira chowonadi kudzadzetsa chizunzo. Koma ndani amasamala. Tisataye mtima. Zimenezo zimangosangalatsa Satana. Pomaliza, ganizirani mawu awa ochokera kwa Mtumwi Yohane:

Aliyense wokhulupirira kuti Yesu ndiye Khristu wakhala mwana wa Mulungu. Ndipo aliyense wokonda Atate amakondanso ana ake. Tidziwa kuti timakonda ana a Mulungu ngati tikonda Mulungu ndi kumvera malamulo ake. Kukonda Mulungu kumatanthauza kusunga malamulo ake, ndipo malamulo ake si olemetsa. Pakuti mwana aliyense wa Mulungu amagonjetsa dziko loipali, ndipo timapeza chigonjetso ichi kudzera mu chikhulupiriro chathu. Ndipo ndani angapambane nkhondo imeneyi yolimbana ndi dziko? Ndi okhawo amene amakhulupirira kuti Yesu ndi Mwana wa Mulungu. (Ŵelengani 1 Yohane 5:1-5.)

Zikomo.
