  Sorry for the dislike, I meant to like. This is a good parody of Colin Kaepernick's Nike job that took him out of unemployment 🤣

  hey guys, so, i went to the hall today with my parents (they needed a ride) and there was this song that i wasn't familiar with.

  must be a new song or i might be simply ignorant of jw songs (i hate them).

  to my surprise i actually liked this song.

  I've heard that before about song 42 and I honestly don't get it. Just a little bit of the pacing matches up, but it's otherwise couldn't be more different, both in tone and where it ends up going.

  It's possible. One of the other songs from the latest songbook has been widely recognized to contain similar rifts to the score from Jurassic Park.

  It hurts just to read this story. The whole setup is just so cold, cruel and inhumane. It takes great strength to react the way you did and be the bigger person.

  Yes, I remember that one. From the Sep. 1st, 1987 WT. The article in question is here:

  https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1987641#h=9:75-9:499

  “One night we were called to help a sick woman troubled by a spirit. The leader of the group​—the medium of a stronger spirit—​tried to chase the spirit away. For a whole day we pleaded for his spirit’s help. We danced and played the drums, and gradually the woman improved. He ordered her spirit out, and this worked. ‘We gained the victory,’ beamed the leader. Then we sat down and relaxed.”

  Izaak’s gesticulating arms rest for a moment while he pauses meaningfully. Then he continues: “For a while all looked well, but then a scream broke the silence. We rushed to the house where it came from and saw the leader’s wife. She was crying hysterically. Inside the house, we found her little daughter​—her head facing backward! Some force had wrung and broken her neck, killing her like a chicken​—apparently, the revenge of that ousted spirit. Sickening! Those spirits are sadistic murderers.”
