Very rarely am I sickened to my stomach anymore. But, this website I stumbled accross made me run for my barf bag.
Why isn't this "brother" counselled for making money off of the society? ...or does he have to pay royalties to the Watchtower?

So far, this Jehovah's Witness (Gary Alt) has compiled Three CDs especially (exclusively?) for other Jehovah's Witnesses and their children to purchase over the internet for $13.50 each.
They include songs like Brooklyn Bound, Marching to the New World, When We're In Jehovah's Paradise, I'm Gonna Be On Time and Pray It Away.
I have had many privileges in Jehovah’s service over the years, not the least of which was playing the piano for the Brooklyn Bethel family in the early 1980s. Making these CDs certainly does NOT rank with congregation privileges, working unassigned Territory, or visiting a dear brother or sister in the hospital. But if you’re encouraged by them, it comes pretty close. -Gary Alt
One of the worst songs on the CD (IMO) is:
I’m Gonna Be On Time
I’m tryin’, tryin’ to get ready now
I’m flyin’, I’ll be on time somehow
Momma says five minutes to go
We must be out that door and on the highway
The meeting’s just about to start
And your daddy has a part and he’s workin’ on timing
Remember, remember your service report
September, is especially important
Daddy says it’s time to go
Let’s get out that door, we don’t have forever
The meeting is soon to begin
And we should all be in our seats together
I’m gonna be on time
I’m not gonna fall behind, behind the eight-ball
I’m gonna be on time
I’ll feel better when I’m in the Kingdom Hall
I’m movin’, movin’ so I’ll be there
Including the opening song and prayer
Jehovah says “Come to my house,
Come on in ‘cause now’s the time to take truth in”
The meeting will soon have to end
And I will be content when it’s concluding
next is this one:
Brooklyn Bound
Packing my bags I’m moving on out for a greater need
I won’t look back and think of what might have been
Yes I’m travelling eastward going to Bethel to serve
And I’m using my strength before old age throws me a curve
I’m Brooklyn bound
I’m Brooklyn bound
And I’m giving my youth to Jehovah to use
I’m Brooklyn bound
My whole heart, my whole mind, my whole strength, my whole force, my whole soul
I’m Brooklyn bound
I’m Brooklyn bound
I’m Brooklyn bound
Work my way downtown cross the East River by the Brooklyn Bridge
Wake up next morning ready for my privilege
If the factory calls me I will be ready with bells on
Or construction or laundry I will cross that Rubicon

here's a review of the CD by a 6 year old:
I like the CD very much. - author: Ryland 6 years old
I like the CD very much. My favorite song is about the resurrection because I can’t wait to meet my papa’s grandma.
