March 2005 Our Kingdom Ministry:
A number of publishers have telephoned the branch office regarding certain recordings of Kingdom songs sung in a popular style that are presently being circulated among Jehovah's Witnesses. They wonder if these recordings have the organization's approval. We are aware of these recordings and would like to inform you that they do not have our approval. Please do not circulate or download these recordings from the internet.
Ironically, the duet of former singers Philip Ingrim and Sheila Hutchinson who were featured on the afformentioned disapproved album, recently sang an original song on JW Broadcasting, (I Give You My Best), and it sounds almost the same. (Ingrim also performed a solo on JW Broadcasting, Jehovah Welcomes You Home). As a matter of fact, ALL the original songs on JW Broadcasting are 'sung in a popular style', except now it's okay for some reason.
