KABUKHU komwe tsapano timbakacemera kuti Moyo Wathu Wacikristau na Utumiki ka Janeiro 1924 kadalewa kuti: “Kumayambiriro kwa gole, ni nthawe yabwino kwene-kwene kwa Mkristau ali-wentse wakubatizidwa wa Mbuya . . . kuti anyang’ane mipata kuti acite bzizinji pa basa lace.” Mkati mwa gole limweri, Anyakupfunza wa Bibliya adaphatisa basa malango yamweya mwa njira ziwiri: iwo adakhala wakukhwimika ndipo adaphatisa basa njira zipsa pakupalizira.

IWO ADAKONZA RADIYO

Pomwe gole la 1924 likhanati kufika, abale wa pa Beteli akhadayamba kale kukonza radiyo yakucemeredwa WBBR ku Staten Island mu mzinda wa Nova Iorque. Pomwe adamala kukonza mbuto, iwo adamanga nyumba ikulu kuti wanthu omwe an’phata basalo akhale ndipo adakonzambo nyumba inango kuti ambaikhire mitcini ya radiyoyo. Pomwe adamala basa limweri, abalewo adayamba kulumikiza mitcini kuti radiyoyo iyambe “kuphata basa.” Tsono pakhana mphitca zizinji zomwe akhafunika kuzikunda.

Abalewo adaneseka kuti aimise antena ya radiyoyo. Antenayo ikhadatalimpha mametro 91 ndipo ikhafunika kudjimbikiridwa na maposto mawiri yomwe yakhadatalimpha mametro 61. Pomwe iwo adayezera kuiimisa, adatazira. Koma pakuti abalewo akhathemba Yahova adadzakwanisa. M’bale Calvin Prosser, omwe akhathandizirambo basali, adalewa kuti: “Tingadakwanisiratu kuimisa antenayo mwakusaya kugumana na mphitca, ifepano tingadabzitumbiza tekha mwa kulewa kuti: ‘Ife timbadziwa basa!’” Abalewo adalatiza kuti adakwanisa kucita basalo thangwe ra kuthandizidwa na Yahova, tsono mabvuto yawoyo yalibe kumala.

Pa nthawe imweyi, wanthu akhadayamba tsapanopa kuphatisa basa radiyo ndipo pakhakonzedwa lini mitcini ya radiyo kuti igulisidwe. Tenepo, abale adagula mtcini omwe ukhaphatisidwa kale basa wa 500 watts kumweko. M’mbuto mwakungula mikro, iwo adaphatisa basa mikro ya telefoni. Ntsiku inango usiku, m’mwezi wa Fevereiro, abalewo adawona kuti bzikhali bwino kuyezera mitciniyo kuti awone penu ingadaphata basa bwino. Iwo akhafunikira programa kuti ibveke mu radioyo, ndipopa adayamba kuimba nyimbo za Umambo. M’bale Ernest Lowe adakumbukira bzomwe bzidacitika pa ntsikuyo. Pomwe abalewo akhaimba, iwo adaligaliridwi na Mtongi Rutherford a omwe adawabva mu radiyo yace na ku Brooklyn, pa mtantho wa makilometro 25.

Pakufuna kuseka nawo, M’bale Rutherford adawauza kuti: “Mukucita baludya. Mukukhala ningati mphaka zikumenyana!” Abalewo adaimisa programayo. Napo kuti adabva manyazi pang’ono, iwo adakomedwa thangwe ra kudziwa kuti radiyoyo ikhabveka.

Pa 24 Fevereiro, 1924, pomwe ikhamwazidwa programa yakuyamba ya radiyoyi, M’bale Rutherford adalewa kuti radiyoyo idakonzedwa kuti “ithandizire basa lomwe Mambo Jezu Kristu” adawapasa. Iye adalewa kuti: “Radiyoyi in’thandiza wanthu wentse kubvesesa Bibliya na thandauzo la nthawe yomwe tikukhala ino.”

Mtsonkhano wa cigawo wa mu 1924 ku Columbus, Ohio

Pa cinai, 24 Julho, abale wakupitirira 5000 adayenda kukapalizira mu mzinda omwe ukhacitikira mtsonkhanoyo. Iwo adagawira mabukhu pafupi-fupi 30 000 ndipo adayambisa mapfunziro ya Bibliya mazinji kwene-kwene. Ntsanza ya Mulindiri idacemera ntsiku imweyi kuti “ntsiku yakudekeza kwene-kwene ya mtsonkhano.”

Pa cixanu, ntsiku ya 25 Julho pomwe M’bale Rutherford akhafotokoza nkhani yace, mwakukhwimika iye adalewa kuti akulu-akulu wa ndale, wa magereja na wa malonda “akucitisa kuti wanthu aleke kupfunza bza Umambo bwa Mulungu na bzomwe bun’dzaticitira kutsogolo.” Kuthumizira bzimwebzi, iye adalewa kuti wanthu amwewa akhawona ninga kuti “bungwe la Liga das Nações ‘ndiro lomwe lingadakwanisa kumalisa mabvuto ya wanthu pa dziko la pantsi, napo kuti ni Umambo bwa Mulungu bokha bomwe bungakwanise kucita bzimwebzi.’” Anyakupfunza wa Bibliya akhafunika kukhala wakupirira na wakukhwimika kuti apalizire mafala yamweya kuna wanthu.

Pakufotokoza momwe mtsonkhanoyo udafambira, Ntsanza ya Mulindiri idalewa kuti: “Acikunda wa Mbuya wakucepa omwe akhali pa Mtsonkhano wa Cigawo wa ku Columbus uno alimbisidwa kwene-kwene cikhulupiro cawo . . . , ndipo mtsonkhanoyu wawathandiza kuti akhale wakukhwimika kuti apalizire napo pomwe akutsutsidwa.” Leo Claus, omwe akhalipombo pa mtsonkhanoyo, adalewa kuti: “Pambuyo pa mtsonkhano ule, ifepano tikhafunisisa kupalizira mafala yale ku gawo lathu.”

Katsamba kakuti Ecclesiastics Indicted

Mu Outubro, Anyakupfunza wa Bibliya adayamba kugawira tumatsamba tomwe tukhana msolo wakuti Ecclesiastics Indicted, (Abusa Omwe ana Mirandu) tomwe tukhana mafala yomwe M’bale Rutherford adayafotokoza pa mtsonkhano ule. Mu kamzinda kang’ono ku Cleveland, Oklahoma, Frank Johnson adamaliza kugawira tumatsamba pomwe pakhadasala mphindi 20 kuti anzace amalizembo. Iye akhafunika lini kuima padeca thangwe amuna wa mu mzindamo omwe akhadakalipa na basa lomwe iye akhacita akhamunyang’ana. M’bale Frank adakumbuka bza kuyenda kukabisalika mu gereja yomwe ikhali pafupi. Pakuti mu gerejamo mukhalibe wanthu, iye adasiya tumatsambato pa Bibliya la m’busa na pa kadera iri-yentse. Patsogolo pace, iye adabula mu gerejamo mwakamfulumize. Tsono pakuti nthawe yace ikhanati kumala, iye adapita pomwe m’magereja mawiri acicita bzibodzi-bodzibzi.

Frank adabwerera akuthamanga ku mbuto yomwe akhadapangana kuti akagumane na apalizi anzacewo. Iye adabisalika kuseri kwa mbuto yakugulisira mafuta ya karo acimbanyang’anisa wanthu omwe akhamunyang’anawo. Wanthuwo adagwata na karo, tsono alibe kumuwona. Pomwe amunawo adayenda, apalizi anzace wa Frank, omwe akhapalizirambo pafupi, adafika ndipo adamutenga aciyenda.

Pakukumbukira momwe basa limweri lidacitikira, m’bale m’bodzi omwe adacitambo basali adalewa kuti: “Pomwe tikhacoka mu kamzindako tidawona magereja matatu. Pa gereja iri-yentse pakhana wanthu pafupi-fupi 50. Winango akhawerenga tumatsambato ndipo winango akhalatiza abusa wawo. Ifepano tidacoka pomwe anyamadulanthaka wathu akhanati kufika ndipo bzimwebzi bzidacitisa kuti tileke kugumana na mabvuto! Timbatenda kwene-kwene Yahova Mulungu wathu thangwe ra kutikhotcerera na kutithandiza kudziwa bzomwe tingadacita kuti tipalizire mafala yale ticisaya kuphatidwa na anyamadulanthaka wa Umambo.”

Nkhani zace na mabukhu yomwe iye akhagawira bzidathandiza kuti wanthu azinji adziwe cadidi mu dzikolo. John Blankson, omwe akhapfunza kuti adzacite basa lakugulisa mankhwala, adatetekerambo nkhani ibodzi ya M’bale Brown. Mwakusaya kucedwa, iye adazindikira kuti akhadagumana cadidi. John adalewa kuti: “Ndidakomedwa kwene-kwene na cadidi comwe ndidapfunzaco ndipo ndidakhala wakutsudzuka kuuzambo anzangu wa ku xikola.”
