Rachael Freed ya ba da shawarar al'adar wasiƙar gado a matsayin kayan aiki mai taimako ga manya don isar da gadon bangaskiya ga al'ummomi masu zuwa. Wasiƙar da’a ko wasiƙar gado ita ce “ɗayan misalan saka tsofaffi don biyan buƙatu a sabuwar duniya,” in ji ta.

Al'adar ta zo kai tsaye daga Farawa 49, wanda Freed ya kwatanta da labarin Yakubu a kan gadon mutuwarsa yana ba da albarka "tare da zargi da umarni" ga 'ya'yansa maza.

Bayan da Isra’ilawa suka yi gudun hijira zuwa Babila, malamai a cikin gwagwarmayar neman hanyoyin da za su ci gaba da kasancewa da bangaskiya sun yi amfani da wannan labari a matsayin samfuri ga mazajen Yahudawa don isar da gadon iyali. Freed ya bayyana cewa al'adar tana wanzuwa a al'adar Yahudawa ta zamani a matsayin hanyar yin shiri a ruhaniya don manyan ranaku masu tsarki.

Ta fara "da'irar gado" a garinsu na Minneapolis, tare da mai da hankali kan "ƙarfafa mata don raba hikimarsu ga tsararraki masu zuwa."

Freed ya jaddada mahimmancin wasiƙun gado suna ba da albarka ga tsararraki masu zuwa. Kokawa ta iyali a Farawa ta kwatanta cewa “sakamako mai muni” yana zuwa sa’ad da mutane ba su sami irin wannan albarkar ba, in ji ta. Ta ba da albarka mai zuwa ga mahalarta NOAC, waɗanda aka nakalto a nan wani ɓangare, yayin da ta rufe zamanta:

David Waas ya yi magana game da alaƙa tsakanin gadon Kiristanci da abin da bangaskiya—musamman hanyar ’yan’uwa na bin Yesu—zai iya faɗi ga ƙasa-ƙasa. "Mu ne masu karɓar gadon gado, kuma mu ne tushen gadon," in ji shi. Da yake tunawa da labaran da aka bayar game da shugabannin ’yan’uwa na ƙarnin da suka shige, ya tambayi mahalarta taron NOAC na 2009, “Mene ne littafi na gaba zai kasance, sa’ad da ni da ku za mu tattauna batutuwan?” da kuma "Me za a ce game da yadda muka yi wa'azi a zamaninmu?"

Ya bayyana cewa ana buƙatar yin waɗannan tambayoyin ta mahangar mutane biyu, waɗanda yawancin waɗanda suka halarci taron suka yi: a matsayin memba na Cocin ’yan’uwa, da kuma Ba’amurke. “Ni da kai mun taimaka ba kawai cocin mu ba,” ya gaya wa masu sauraron NOAC, “amma ni da ku mun taimaka wajen keɓance ƙasarmu…. Yana kan agogonmu kuma muna ɗaukar nauyi.”

Waas ya gano wani sauyi na tarihi a cikin Cocin 'yan'uwa daga adawa da gwamnati, a farkon yunkurin 'yan'uwa, don mai da hankali kan yadda za a zama dan kasa nagari, yayin da cocin ya koma tsakiyar karni na ashirin. Sannan ya bi diddigin ci gaban rikice-rikice da yawa a halin yanzu a Amurka: tattalin arziki, kiwon lafiya, yawan fursunoni, yawan kisan kai, da tashin hankalin bindiga. "Yayin da muke nan a yau, 9 ga Satumba, mutane 80 za a harbe da bindigogi ta hanyar kisan kai," in ji shi.

Amma "rikicin da ba za mu taɓa iya magana akai ba," in ji shi, motsi na ikon soja zuwa tsakiyar mataki a Amurka. “Hakan ya faru a rayuwarmu. Juya zuwa ga babban ƙarfin soja na yau da kullun….

Sakamakon haka, ana samun matsalar amincewa da shugabancin dimokuradiyyar kasar, in ji shi, tare da rikicin da'a wanda hatta halaccin azabtarwa da Amurkawa za su iya tafka muhawara a kai.

"Ya kamata mu rungumi kuma mu karfafa hangen nesa na Kirista don kiran jihar zuwa ga mafi girman manufofinta," in ji shi.
