attending memorial

hi, carlos...

i attended the shirogane congregation in kokura for annual memorial service.

on saturday evening i happened to come across br yano at a supermarket then i acquired the information where and when the memorial in english congregation would be held, which was 607, across fukuoka tenjin 1-1-1 and from 6:30 to 7:30

i wanted to attend the memorial with my partner so taking many matters in to consideration, i decided to attend the japanese congregation in kokura
where my partner lives

br minoru yoshida made a speech there and because it was held in japanese my partner was able to understand it

i must say the idea of original sin, redemption is still very hard for ordinary japanese to understand

but im glad she was able to understand his redemption was a new contract between men and jehovah after i talked to her

she asked me later whether jehovah('s witnesses) is christianity?

she had thought jehovah is different from christianity

this was interesting, because many ordinary people know church teaches christianity but they might believe that jehovah teaches the teaching of jehovah which they think is different from christianity

my question this time was why adam committed sin, acted against jehovah's order while he was born to be perfect

anyway it was a nice evening for us to see many fabulous people there

i send you some photos next time

i think attending memorial is a very important chance for me to remind the theme related to the basis of christianity
