  Today at the wt study one of the new songs was used. How has this been going in other congs - at my hall about two thirds had it on either tablets or phones with lyrics on or printed out, rest just stood looking blank. Singing very poor. My view is - wt is a printing corporation which receives lots of cash from us each month (not from me personally) so why should I print out their songs. One which was used at the convention had an extra verse from when it first appeared - waste of time printing it out.

  Any murmuring from other congs?

  What they need to do is go listen to some gospel music and add some beat or more upbeat tunes or something.since they are already adopting some of the "worldly" religions stuff. Still the same ole same ole put you to sleep songs. A few of the old songs at least had a lil upswing to it but they dumbed those down too. One of which was sung at the last convention and i was like oh good i remember this song then boom the lyrics had been changed to something crazy...Ha!

  The problem is that very few every sing anyway for any reason; can't play an instrument, can't sing. It is lucky if they can even appreciate any music. Some only sing at the meetings if that, no practice pre or post. Do they arrange for practice at the KHs?

  There used to be a few melodic songs but that has changed (I was the piano player, a good one).

  They may as well just drop the music and chant the words in a monotone .

  Not only are the new songs very lousy (I had a peek at just the lyrics of the song The Life of a Pioneer [sic]). This song was lame--the sun yet to rise, the sleep in your eyes, we pray (which reminds me of MC Hammer's song Pray--which is better than any of these kingdumb maladies.

  But, eventually there are to be 150 of them. Anyone that knows about numerology will instantly see what is wrong with that. The number reduces to 6, the number of Saturn. You are getting the energy from the planet Saturn, which is a planet of misfortune and hard work for nothing. Anyone that knows the first thing about astrology will see they are using black magic against the flock. One more reason to ban the whole book. At least the old book, before 2010, had 225 which reduces to 9. Which is better than 6. Now, if I could find a way to force them to release another 516 songs and add them to the book...
