I used to listen to the WT discourage us from listening to music that had the name Satan in them.

I just checked the Sing Praises song book, and guess what? The Name Satan is in there 30 times!!!

We had to sing the name Satan @ the KH, I remember one song was changed as the light got brighter with regard to demons!

(w86 10/15 23-4 Praising Jehovah With Music) with kind permission of the WT

Improvement in Thought Content

As the light shining on Gods truth became ever brighter in harmony with Proverbs 4:18, it was found necessary to change songs that had been in previous songbooks. That was true with the current Song 215. In 1974 we came to understand that Noahs ark pictured our spiritual paradise, not the Kingdom. (See The Watchtower, 1974, page 634.) So the line in the older songbook Flee at once to the ark of salvation, To the Kingdom of God that is here! was changed to Act at once! Make a full dedication; Serve the that is here.

Among other refinements in the interest of accuracy are the following: In the new system of things, there will be no more evils to dread, rather than no more demons to dread, for Gods people do not dread demons. (Song 129) In line with Jesus words at Matthew 6:22, Song 26 admonishes us to keep our eye simple rather than our sight single.

In several instances a certain melody was given a new set of words that appeared to be more effective and useful. Song 60, Gods Kingdom of a Thousand Years, uses the melody of Song 86 in the previous songbook. The lyrics for Song 2, Obeying God Rather Than Men, are an expansion of those of former Song 79. It seemed that this theme deserved a full page rather than a half page.

Thanx JK for Harry Potter

Why are sisters not allowed to wear trousers???

by Tish in

after posting a reply to another thread i wondered if anyone can answer these questions??.

1. why are sisters not allowed to wear trousers?.

2. when sisters where a skirt why have they got to be below the knee?.

frogit

Hi Tish

I know the answer to No: 6

6. Why do mums put their baby boys in bow ties?

Its a form of child abuse, they think it looks cute, sometimes they dress the said kid up in a suit as well, this makes the kid look like a real JW. At home the parents give the kid a false moustache and cigar, just like Groucho Marks.

did everyone uk based enjoy their bank holiday weekend, what'd you get up to, anything exciting?.

saturday i thoroughly enjoyed.

we had a cloud burst and a big thunderstorm in the morning, absolutely tipped and lashed it down, the weather then cleared beautifully, so took the dinghy out onto the helford river for a 4 mile row, very peaceful it was, stunningly gorgeous, most relaxing.. yesterday, bank holiday monday, went to a local vintage vehicle rally, complete with steam engines and morrish dancers and many a cornish flag waving.

M.E illness amongst jehovahs witnesses?

by haujobbz in

jw
friends

.

i have always wondered why so many jws i knew suffered from the illness "m.e" previous to being a jw i never heard of this illness but when joining the borg i noticed noticed so many jws saying all of a sudden they had m.e maybe its a jw disease trend.

anyhow what does m.e stand for.. haujobbz

ME was first known in the as Yuppie Fever, (A Yuppie was a young wiz kid in the late 80s early 90s) this was said to do with all the work related stress that they had from the stock/money market.

You can understand how JWs also get this aliment, what with all the stress of living up to all that is demanded from you as JWs. Im thinking of, do more, pioneer, meetings, guilt of not being worthy, gossip, pre-study, FS, the fear of losing Gods favour, and all the other pit falls of being a JW.

No wonder many Jws are depressed and ill, it makes you being a JW.

Another Newspaper Editor Who Needs To Be EDUCATED

by ErieGuy in

here is another quick-build pr newspaper article.

this editor would be a good target for the recent st pete times article, various silentlambs articles, etc............................................ http://www.dailyprogress.com/frontpage/mgb49c4ga5d.html

frogit

I notice from this article that the some of the Brothers are wearing shorts!

I have worked on many Kingdom Hall Builds in the , UK and if a Bother wore shorts, he was refused entry to the site and sent home! Of course he was given counsel! And made to feel thast he was worldly ( Humiliated )!

Brothers who wore Tee Shirts with Logo's on or trade marks again sent home to change, even brother that wore vest type Tee Shirts (showing too much flesh) had to go home and change.

The brothers in charge always wore ties!

Yes this as been in the media every day for 2 weeks now, and the whole country as been waiting for the 2 Girls to be found. But it now looks likely they have been murdered.

Do you over in the not get news from the ? We over in the get news.

We will have to wait now to find out what happened to them, but I can not even think how the family are coping.

Children are special and should be cared for and loved by all, and anyone harming them should be removed far away from children. Im not sure about the death penalty for killers.

Sorry could not see your sad%20smily.gif
