Spent 14 months in a Trappist Monastery (Moncks Corner, SC). While there, I read the Bible several times. Left when I realized that what I was being taught was not what the Bible was presenting. So, yes I very familiar with the so-called “mysteries of the rosary”. And as Christian, I denounce them all. My “Thesis on the wall”, as it were.
Start a thread and tell the world about it.
It has no relevance here.
Great testimony. Good to read it. Thanks for the post.

Wow! Even the sorrowful ones?
Tell you this, it takes me hours to say that one. The meditation on the Crowning of Jesus with Thorns, and the Agony in the Garden of Gesthemane alone have so many layers of prayer that it’s impossible not to join Christ in His journey to Golgatha.
The Sorrowful Mysteries:
The Agony in the Garden
The Scourging at the pillar
The Crowning with Thornes
Jesus carries His Cross
The Crucifixion - That is a particularly difficult meditation - To realize the extent to which God suffered for the love of us for our redemption.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus, the human heart of the Divine Word...wow, that is also a meditation that is so huge it will take me forever to gain insight if God wills it.
The Crowning with Thornes is another. To realize the extent God completely disregards these human achievements of wealth, power, beauty, fame! He’s born poor and little when the world expected a king and he’s crowned in pain with trash that grows by a roadside and then spat upon and struck instead of honored and adored.
But, if you denounce all these meditations on the life of our Glorious Lord Jesus, that’s your choice.
And obviously learned nothing.

Luther prayed the rosary and was very devoted to the Blessed Mother.
