MUSIC IN WORSHIP
by Raphael in.
something that always bothered me as a jw was the lack of praise and worship with music at meetings , yeah there were the tapes of dull and uninspiring piano music along with the same songs that noone ever felt enthusiastic about - i actually remeber feeling embarrassed whenever i had invited a bible study or interested person along to a talk and the singing was just pathetic.. singing durring the meetings was never considered a serious act of worship, but an opportunity to visit the bathroom etc.
i also found it sad that those who did have a musical talent could not use that talent in worship - no alternative forms of musical instruments were permitted inside the kh other than the wts piano tapes - no freedom of expression to worship and praise god was ever allowed , it seems that the gb want to rob jw's of the experience of joy in worshipping god.. now that i have experienced worship and praise in a spirit filled church , i can testify just how liberating freedom of expression in worship can be...i recently came across "the psalm drummers" and highly recommend getting the cd.. http://www.psalmdrummers.org/.

Do you still see Doom and Gloom all around you like JW's do?
by JH inwe all know that the jw's think that the end is so close.. in a way, i'm still programmed that way.
i like reading news from all around the world, and you can find bad news all around the world.
example: bird flu, iran nuclear problem, terrorism, and so on.... i'm just wondering if other x witnesses here still are doom and gloom people, thinking that we are on the edge of some world catastrophy?

Truthfully I can see the spirit of '69 coming back again...I see some really good hearted people immerging...Seems like the good spirit is getting stronger...I see a positive change coming...I think God is behind it...another words:
I can see light @ the end of the cave.......

by IronClaw inso did anyone go to the apostate wt study today?

I listened to it on the phone link to the hall...
WT says Satan was the foremost apostate....but NO, Jesus was because..
Satan rebelled against God.....Jesus rebelled against the man-made organization..
Just like we do....so I think we are following the foremost apostate, JESUS>>>>>

Satanus: Yeah...Jehovah doesn't do anything anymore. NOT..
Ezra: Can you tell me why you think that all religious experiences are from the devil? Message me if you want to correspond.
Diamond Blue...MLKing..knew the truth about alot of things..
A Paduan ...Good point, most everyone rejected Jesus as the Christ right from the getgo..right up to his death...

'Other Sheep'
by Honesty indo you feel that the watchtower has a few things 'right' about their two 'classes' of people, 'annointed' and 'other sheep' ?.
if so, what does this scripture mean to you?.
phil 3:18-20 for i have often told you, and now say again with tears, that many live as enemies of the cross of christ.

Greendawn....I was thinking you may be right about eventually we will enjoy the best of both worlds as when Jesus was ressurrected for the 40 day period, he was both a spirit and fleshly man...Is that what you meant????

What do you think of the lyrics to Neil Young's new song?
"When God Made Me"
Was he thinkin' about my country
or the color of my skin?
Was he thinkin' 'bout my religion
And the way I worshipped him?
Did he create just me in his image
Or every living thing?
When God made me
Was he planning only for believers
Or for those who just have faith?
Did he envision all the wars
That were fought in his name?
Did he say there was only one way
To be close to him?
When God made me
Did he give me the gift of love
To say who I could choose
When God made me
Did he give me the gift of voice
So some could silence me
Did he give me the gift of vision
Not knowing what I might see?
Did he give me the gift compassion
To help my fellow man?
When God made me

I liked your quote. Skyman...It's so true...anything that a witness experiences from God, is automatically demonism.. It's like we have to recieve every experience from the Governing Body...as they are supposedly are only mediator to God...Nothing could POSSIBLY come to us without them in the middle. Am I right?

The scripture you pointed out is only talking about the ones fit for destruction and the ones fit for life...
I do believe that both classes heavenly and earthly will be on earth. But the heavenly ones are closer to God anointed with holy spirit.. That's why they are heavenly. I don't think it's because they are going up in the sky.
