ZUVA RINOKOSHA rakanga riri June 17, 2002, apo Dare Repamusorosoro rakabudisa zvaraifunga zvakanga zvakanyorwa. Chisarudzo chakanga chiri chei? Misoro mikuru yemapepanhau yakataura nyaya yacho. The New York Times rakati: “Dare Rinobvisa Kurambidzwa Kwokushanya kweZvapupu zvaJehovha.” The Columbus Dispatch reOhio rakati: “Dare Repamusoro Rinoti Kudiwa Kwemvumo Hakusi Pamutemo.” The Plain Dealer romuCleveland, Ohio, rakangoti: “Vanokumbira Mari Havafaniri Kupiwa Mvumo Nekanzuru.” Chikamu chezvinofungwa nevanhu cheUSA Today chakazivisa kuti: “Rusununguko Rwokutaura Runokunda.”

Chisarudzo chedare repasi chokurambidza Zvapupu zvaJehovha chakabviswa paine vasere vachitsigira mumwe chete achipokana! Pfungwa dzeDare dzaiva dzakanyorwa pamapeji 18 dzakanyorwa noMutongi John Paul Stevens. Chisarudzo chacho chaisimbisa zvikuru kuchengetedza kweFirst Amendment kwakapiwa kuushumiri hwepachena hweZvapupu zvaJehovha. Mupfungwa dzaro dzakanyorwa, Dare rakatsanangura kuti Zvapupu hazvaikumbira mvumo nokuti zvinoti “zvinowana mvumo yokudaro kubva muMagwaro.” Dare rakabva rataura mashoko akanga ari muuchapupu hweZvapupu: “Kuti isu tipiwe mvumo kuminisiparati kuti tiparidze zvinenge zvakafanana nokutuka Mwari.”

Pfungwa dzeDare dzakati: “Kwemakore anopfuura 50, Dare rakabvisa kurambidzwa kwaiitwa pakubvunza pfungwa dzevanhu pasuo nesuo uye kuparadzira mapepa. Hakusi kungoerekana zvaitika kuti dzakawanda dzenyaya idzi dzaibatanidza First Amendment dzakaunzwa neZvapupu zvaJehovha, nokuti kufamba pasuo nesuo kunodiwa nechitendero chavo. Sezvatakaona munyaya yaMurdock nePennsylvania, . . . (1943), Zvapupu zvaJehovha zvinoti zvinotevedzera muenzaniso waPauro, zvichidzidzisa  “pachena, uye pamba nemba.” Mabasa 20:20. Vanotevedzera murayiro womuMagwaro sezvauri wokuti, “Endai munyika, muparidze vhangeri kuchisikwa chose.” Mako 16:15. Mukuita kudaro vanodavira kuti vari kuteerera murayiro waMwari.’”

Pfungwa yeDare yakabva yataura zvekare kubva munyaya ya1943 kuti: “Rudzi rwechitendero urwu runotora ukoshi humwe pasi peFirst Amendment sezvakaita kunamata mumachechi uye kuparidza pachikuva. Rune kodzero yakafanana yokuchengetedzwa kungofanana nechitendero chagara chiripo uye chekare.” Richitsanangura nyaya ya1939, pepa rakanga riine Pfungwa dzedare rakati: “Kuda kudzora zvinhu pachishandiswa rezinesi rinoita kuti zvisabvira kuparadzira mapepa pachena uye pasina kudzongonyedzwa kunoisa pangozi kodzero yezvinosimbiswa nebumbiro romutemo.—Ndivo vakatsveyamisa mabhii.

Ipapo Dare rakabva rataura zvinokosha kuti: “Nyaya dzacho dzinoratidza kuti kuedza kweZvapupu zvaJehovha kuramba kudziviswa kwekodzero dzokutaura hakusi kungotamburira nokuda kwekodzero dzavo bedzi.” Pfungwa dzeDare dzakatsanangura kuti Zvapupu “havasi ivo voga ‘vanhuwo zvavo’ vanotarisana nengozi yokurambidzwa kutaura zvavanoda nemitemo seyeMusha uyu.”

Pfungwa dzeDare dzakazoenderera dzichitaura kuti mutemo wacho “kuzvidza”—kwete chete kuzvinokosha zvinochengetedzwa neFirst Amendment, asiwo kupfungwa yenzanga yakasununguka—apa zvichireva mukutaura kwemazuva ose kuti mugari wenyika anofanira kutanga azivisa hurumende nezvokuda kwake kutaura kumuvakidzani wake obva awana mvumo yokuita kudaro. . . . Mutemo unoda kuti tiwane mvumo yokutaura kwakadaro unenge wanyanyisa kubva panhaka yedu yenyika uye zvagara zviri mubumbiro redu romutemo.” Pfungwa dzeDare dzakataura nezvo“kukuvadza kunoita kudikanwa kwemvumo dzakadaro.”

Ngozi Youtsotsi

Zvakadini nemaonero okuti mvumo yacho inodzivirira vanopaza nemamwe matsotsi? Dare racho rakataura kuti: “Pasinei nokuti izvi zvinonzwisisika, nyaya dzakatangira idzi dzakajeka kuti panofanira kuva nomusiyano pakati pezviri kutyirwa izvi uye zvinokonzerwa nemitemo yacho pakodzero dzeFirst Amendment.”

Pfungwa dzeDare racho dzakapfuurira kuti: “Zvinoita sezvisingaitiki kuti kusavapo kwemvumo kungadzivisa matsotsi kugogodza pamasuo uye kukurukura dzimwe nyaya dzisingataurwi mumutemo wacho. Somuenzaniso, matsotsi angakumbira kubvunza nzira kana kuda kushandisa foni, . . . kana kuti anogona kunyoresa zita rokunyepa pasina kubatwa.”

Richitaura nezvezvisarudzo zvokuma1940, Dare racho rakanyora kuti: “Mutauro waishandiswa munguva yezvisarudzo zvomuHondo Yenyika II zvairamba zvichiponesa kukwidzirwa kumatare kwevaendi kuchechi vomukumbiri [Watch Tower Society]  kuti vasabatwa nemhosva duku kwairatidza kuona kweDare rusununguko ruri muFirst Amendment kunoratidzwa munyaya ino.”

Dare rakapedzisa kuti kudii? “Kutonga kweCourt of Appeals kunoshandurwa, uye nyaya yacho ichadzoswa nokuda kwezvimwe zvichaitwa maererano nepfungwa iyi. Ndozvatiri kuda kuti zviitwe.”

Saka nyaya yakazopera sezvizvi, sezvakataurwa neChicago Sun-Times, “Dare rinotsigira Zvapupu zvaJehovha,” uye vasere vachitsigira mumwe chete achipokana.

Zvakadini Nomunguva Yemberi?

Zvapupu zvaJehovha zvomuUngano yeWellsville zvakaona sei kukunda kwacho muDare Repamusorosoro? Hapana kana nechikonzero chokuzvikudza nezvazvo nokuda kwokunyadziswa kwevanhu vomuStratton. Zvapupu zvaJehovha hazvina wazvinovenga muvanhu vanokudzwa vomusha wacho. Gregory Kuhar, Chapupu cheimomo, akati: “Nyaya yomudare iyi chinhu chatakanga tisingadi kuti chiitike. Mutemo wacho pachawo wakanga usina kururama. Zvatakaita taisangozviitira pachedu, asi taiitira munhu wose.”

Mashoko aripo anoratidza kuti Zvapupu zvakaedza nepazvinogona napo kusatsamwisa vanhu veimomo. Gene Koontz, chimwe Chapupu, akatsanangura kuti: “Nguva yatakanga tapedzisira kuparidza muStratton waiva musi waMarch 7, 1998—anopfuura makore mana.” Akawedzera kuti: “Ndakaudzwa zvakananga kuti ndaizosungwa. Tave tichityisidzirwa nemapurisa mumakore acho kuti taizosungwa. Uye patakakumbira kuona pakanyorwa mutemo wacho, hatina kuwana mhinduro.”

Koontz akawedzera kuti: “Tinosarudza kuva noukama hwakanaka nevavakidzani vedu. Kana vamwe vasingadi kuti tivashanyire, tinoremekedza chisarudzo ichocho. Asi pane vamwe vane ushamwari uye vanoda kukurukura nezveBhaibheri.”

Gregory Kuhar akatsanangura kuti: “Hatina kukwidza nyaya iyi kuitira kuti tigumbure vanhu vomuStratton. Taingoda kusimbisa nomutemo rusununguko rwedu rwokutaura maererano neBumbiro roMutemo.”

Akawedzera kuti: “Pakupedzisira, tine tariro yokudzokera kuStratton. Ndichafara chaizvo kana ndikava wokutanga kugogodza pamusuo patinodzokera. Maererano nomutemo waKristu, tinofanira kudzokera.”

Kubuda kwenyaya ye“Watchtower noMusha weStratton” kwakava nezvakawanda zvakwakapedza. Vaziva nezvechisarudzo cheDare Repamusorosoro, vakuru vakuru veminisiparati vakawanda vomuUnited States vakaziva kuti mitemo yemakanzuru haichagona kushandiswa kudzivisa basa rokuparidza reZvapupu zvaJehovha. Kusvika nhasi, zvinetso zvokuparidza pasuo nesuo zvakagadziriswa munzanga dzinoda kusvika 90 muUnited States.
