I actually joined a church that had a wonderful pastor. They come from a long line of powerful preachers. It was sfter the holiday of Easter that I just couldn't hold on anymore. I know we as witnesses don't do Christendom's holidays, and it was something I couldn't get my head around, no matter how good the preaching and teaching from the pulpit was.
The focus that the entire world has wrong is the ressurection of The Christ. It was never meant to be that way. We as witnesses know the focus was to be on his death.
The whole way of their timing as to the ressurection is the greatest scandal that I could no longer participate in. Christ was to be in the grave for three days and three nights. The only sign that he would give the Pharisees as a sign as to his being the Messiah. There is just no way humanly possible for Christ to have died on Friday, to be raised on Sunday to fulfill that portion of scripture.
Also, as it pertains to the Sabbath, there's no real understanding from traditional Christianity that the Sabbath that Christ Jesus was crucified before was not a weekly Sabbath, but an annual Sabbath. A Sabbath that would not necessairilly fall on the tradiotional Sabbath, Friday evening to Saturday evening.
