Singing is now important?

Last meeting there was a lot of emphasis on singing......even giving out the songs for the upcoming ca so we

could practice. And of course they emphasized how we should be present for songs, etc. etc.

My point is.........at any of the elders meetings I went to (many years ago now).......we never sang any songs, even at

the very large meetings when there were brothers from the whole circuit or more.

I doubt this has changed, so unless someone knows differently..........I think the singing thing is off key entirely.

(btw............our congregation absolutely sucks at all of the songs)

The music aids in the mind control process. If I am not mistaken all the songs are ballads no marches.

Yes, sing in purposeful worship to a god that is going to soon murder 99% of the earth's population.

Kind of shows how sick the JW society really is, when you stop and think about it.

The witlesses always viewed singing those Kingdumb Maladies as important parts of their worship. Jehovah is supposed to listen to your singing.

Which I found absurd. Perhaps had that Almighty Lowlife Scumbag gone out of his way to make sure ALL of my needs (not just "spiritual" ones) were generously fulfilled in a timely way, I would have felt like singing better. Yet he still expects good sound--about like expecting excellent sound out of crap speakers.

I agree about the mind control. They even advocate memorizing every single song. Oh and kids are not to be taken to the bathroom during songs. It's not a break you know - time for some more musically focused control!Worship the F&DS!!
