Just started listening to them...curiousity...and they sound a lot like the mormon tabernacle choir (especially the first one, Joy of Jehovah). How do I know what the mormon choir sounds like, you ask? My boss is a mormon bishop, and he has them playing all the time.

I listened to The Light Gets Brighter, sounded good actually. I like showtunes.

Oh, I don't think I could handle it. I still have to hear them at the hall when I go.

I just don't like how EVERYTHING has to be showtunes, you know? When I was at bethel they were working with George Benson on redoing a bunch of kingdom songs to appeal to kids. Some of them sounded awesome. But...wouldn't you know it...the GB came back STRONGLY bashed the a/v dept for producing "Christendom sounding music". No joke. I was there at the time.

Sorry for overposting on my own post, but I just thought of something. A few weeks ago we had to sing "We're Jehovah's Witnesses" and I was having a tough time with it. So quietly I was singing, "You're Jehovah's Witnesses". MY WIFE CAUGHT ME! BUSTED! All I could do was smile and deny it.

This is one of those moments where I have to cuss, forgive me please....but aint that about a b#$#! They're promoting their own choir now? At an Assembly Hall dedication I heard the full musical arrangement with vocals, and I couldn't help but shake my head in my heart. We've been tearing down every other religion for so long, that I find it difficult to accept we're now imitating other religions.

Did you like this part?
Our Lord has appointed a trustworthy slave,
Through whom He gives food in due season.
The light of the truth has grown brighter with time,
Appealing to heart and to reason.
I kid....don't beat me up.

I'd like to point out something about the use of the choir, misery...
Interesting that they have no solos...any thoughts of independent thinking? Not in the choir either! Although there is 1 guy and 1 girl that I can pick out in pretty much every song.
The music isn't so bad...it's just that it helps to solidify the illusion they've created...
