Hey, I always felt alittle uncomfortable singing that line in the songbook, not that's it not good advice and all, buuuuuuttt.....
Anyway, along that same thread I wanted to start a made-up lyrics game (using the songbook's lyrics)-thought it would be funny.
Here, I'll start...
(from p. 53- "Theocracy's Increase")
Hail the Theocracy ever increasing! Wondrous expansion is now taking place.
With a .001% increase every year, the math classes we took obviously didn't leave a trace
(from p. 42 "This is the way:")
God's voice keeps on calling: O walk in the way,
THe way that Jehovah has shown us today
he has a fine channel that's surely unique
Can you guess what that channel is?
If you didn't guess Jehovah's Witnesses, surely you are a freak!
(from p. 174 "Stay awake, stand firm grow mighty):
Stay awake stand firm grow mighty
In the warfare that is right.
Carry on as men undaunted
For the victry is in sight.
DOn't these songs all sound so different?
WEll, okay, no they don't!
So you'll continue singing
These bland songs every meeting
Until you find you won't.
Okay, I wasn't great, but I sure gave it hell!
