  *** re chap. 7 p. 36 Rekindle That First Love! ***
  In the songbook produced by Jehovah’s people in 1905, there were twice as many songs praising Jesus as there were songs praising Jehovah God. In their 1928 songbook, the number of songs extolling Jesus was about the same as the number extolling Jehovah. But in the latest songbook of 1984, Jehovah is honored by four times as many songs as is Jesus. This is in harmony with Jesus’ own words: “The Father is greater than I am.” (John 14:28) Love for Jehovah must be preeminent, accompanied by deep love for Jesus and appreciation of his precious sacrifice and office as God’s High Priest and King.

  ... and they're so proud of the fact that they give no praise to Jesus. "Deep love... and appreciation"? I don't buy that.

  I believe they rank the word of Paul, a Pharisee, much higher than anything written about Jesus.

  they might as well just cut out the middleman and be done with it, 'in watchtowers name', amen! ?

  Great post metatron!

  The new songbook is just following the pattern of the last 100 years, demote, sideline and remove the real Jesus.

  Blessings,

  Well the fabrication of Jesus went on steriods with the early Bishops who wanted power and political shoulder room and social parity with the surrounding cultures. Its hard to fathom the mindset that would concoct such a cruel idea of a God but that's religion for ya.

  'Do a little good each day'.
