    NO!

    I think that they were all boring.

    Some were pretty good. I had some favorites that pop into my head from time to time.

    Gods Loyal Love

    Fear them Not!

    We Thank You Jehovah (Always liked that one cause it meant the assembly was over )

    Take Sides with Jehovah.

    This is Jehovah's Day. (His rule is here to stay. He's laid in Zion his chief cornerstone......Oh God, now I got that one stuck in my head)

    Take my Yolk (please)

    and From House to House. (Just Kidding on that one)

    Sometimes one gets stuck in my head, but I can usually dislodge it by bashing my head against a concrete wall several times...

    Actually, I didn't think the melodies were that bad. What really stunk was the phrasing of the lyrics. They were very stilted and awkward, because of the writers trying to make them conform to the stilted readings of the NWT. When I was a teenager, some of my friends used to get all giggly and snickery whenever we sang the one with the lyric about the "bees that were molested".
