    I do not understand how such a F%&$D up org. could put out such beautiful music.

    i think the thing we have to bear in mind is that these tunes were composed first and foremost by gifted composers/musicians, who were no doubt later dragged into the org and felt it their duty to give up the goods and score for it.

    i remember someone in the congregation i was in knew a guy who had composed one of the melodies and they remarked how he cried the first time they played it at an assembly, so i guess even for jw's music is an emotional experience.

    i also found a sickening article on hov.org on the journey to find these wonderful midi files...

    "Susie's first love was music. "I started to play the piano at the age of 6, the violin at 10, and finally the harp at 12," she explains. Susie later attended the Royal College of Music in London, England, to study the harp. She studied for four years with a famous Spanish harpist and a further year at the Paris Conservatoire, gaining an honors degree in music as well as diplomas for playing the harp and teaching the piano.

    Susie became associated with a congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in London. There she found genuine interest and love among fellow Witnesses. Gradually, her love for Jehovah grew, and her zeal for his service prompted her to seek ways to serve him. This led to dedication and baptism. "Having music as a career is a dedicated way of life, so a life of dedication was not unfamiliar to me," Susie observes. Her time for concert performances decreased as she engaged in the Christian ministry of preaching the good news of God's Kingdom in obedience to Jesus' instructions.?Matthew 24:14; Mark 13:10.

    Now that she spends only a limited time performing music, how does she feel? "Sometimes a little frustrated that I don't have more time to practice," she admits, "but I still play my instruments and enjoy music. Music is a gift from Jehovah. I enjoy it more now that I have put his service first in my life."?Matthew 6:33."

    i feel so sorry for people like this who are so brainwashed that even though they hate that they can't do what they love, they cannot say it openly... i do not know on what planet that is encouraging.
