amazing grace have been around since 1779, how great thou art 1885,holy holy holy 1826, be thou my vision (ireland) 6th century, all creatures of god and king (italy)1225. so you think one day we will hear a kingdumb song playing over the radio.
you would think surely jehovah want the world to be familiar with his hymns.... maybe they have instructed the rf to only sing their songs in the kh, only for special folks..
I played under Vern Duncombe,
Brilliant composer,
Wrote and/or arranged the entire song book up to the 1970s,
Where is his work now,
I don't think that this is right,
Why did this happen?
Because there's a new kid on the block,
And the kids want new,
They're bored,
The greatest highlights at conventions are the "new" releases,
Ray Franz talked about this policy in CofC
Even Uncle Freddie's books went by the wayside,
And it applies to song books as well
:(

Also today's music will be suppressed to make way for tomorrow's Jehovah's Witnes wanna be published composers ( all men of course)

No because before that day ever comes today's lyrics will be deemed Apostate!!
i was going to reply to another thread, but thought this might deserve a separate topic.. my observations when i was a still in.. the announcement that jesus christ (the co) is visiting our local kh.. would anyone like to "volunteer" their time, money and accommodation for jesus christ.. all ass lickers of said kh come forward to receive jesus christ.
a concerted effort for all to be out in the ministry that week, along with panicking elders visiting homes of those who have not been at the meetings for at least a week, offering "encouragement" so that the number of attendance is up for the week visit.. the self righteous in the kh who would never speak to you (pioneers included) and look down their noses at you all of a sudden start to speak to you.. during the visit, the elders are on their best behavior, thanking everyone who answers up.
the pioneers are martyring themselves by making cakes and practically washing the feet of the jesus christ.. the attendance does rise, with studies being brought along, to show jesus christ what a good little jw they are.. most indoctrinated jw's practically shoot each other to have a turn on the ministry with jesus christ!.
I object to the JC analogy,
Bible says that JC had a few women following and ministering to him,
COs have WAY more,

so today was a cold and snowy day in my neck of the woods and the wife and i were just chilling around the house waiting to go to the church tonight for a candle lighting service when lo and behold we get a knock on the door.
yup, 2 elders from my old hall.
i figured they were fishing for some time so i invited them in and gave them some coffee and we talked about everything that happened and why we walk away from the jw's.
Tough crowd! :)
That's OK
Have a good night gentlemen!

Earth was made in 1919 wait that was the New Earth or wait I'm confused

in his book crisis of conscience, raymond franz likened the governing body to the proverbial 'iron fist in a velvet glove'.
this would seem harsh if it weren't for the fact that there is ample proof that their policies and teachings have caused much pain amongst the friends.
for example, many families have been torn apart through their shunning policy.
How humble is anyone who has never said I'm sorry?
