Each household plan in advance their Bible based curriculum and scriptural themed discussions together. Each member can be involved, with an assignment according to their ages and abilites. Do non-JW persons see benefits from this practice?
There is nothing wrong in what you do, I suppose, unless it keeps you from knowing Lord Jesus Christ. Merely learning doctrines is not realizing salvation in your own life. Consider the following Scriptures since you like to study the Bible:
- You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me; 40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. (Jn 5:39-40)
- And how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All scripture is inspired by God and[a] profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. (2 Tim. 3:15–17)
Since those in the Jehovah Witness movement love to study the Scriptures, I would like to see them all understand the basics of being a Christian, so they can be taught the deeper truths that are found in the written Word of God. Unless one truly understands the basics of what it means to be a Christian and understand the elementary truths of repentance from dead works and how this enables faith in God, it is impossible to truly understand the deeper truths.
- Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, with instruction about ablutions [baptisms], the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. (Heb. 6:1–2)
Everybody ought to know the Ten Commandments and why they are the plumbline for measuring truth. Not knowing them and the implications they contain is like attempting to learn calculus and not being able to add, subtract, multiply and divide any integer up to 101.
The Ten Commandments Were Designed For You To Enjoy And Possess Life Rather Than Fall Short And Suffer Unnecessarily
