Purged songs of the Watchtower

by LogCon in

my memory of singing the kingdom songs go back to when i was a child in the 1950's.

they still hold a place in my memory and my heart.

how can something that is so much a part of your childhood not stay embedded in your heart.?.

Would be surprised if all seven of the old farts in Brooklyn proabably had to give there stamp of approval before it was released.

The green songbook, the purple one, then there was another one that came out after I left, now there's another songbook?

Take Side with Jehovah, that one always seemed to popular, is it still around?

Another song I can't quite pinpoint, I think it was called Dedication, "take my arms and take my "eyes" are whatever can't remember but the song used that "take my" line in it a few times.

Logcon- I guess you remember the first song in the old green songbook, that was like an old Baptist tune that got the church rocking, I think the title was Hail Him. I also remember the song Rejoice, I'm thinking of a few others but can't remember the names of them.

hey Captain, whenever I do something on my phone that has to be sent out, it always gives me the option of Chrome of or Browser, whatever the Browser on my phone defaults to have no idea, since I'm not a tech person, don't have a clue, but Ido remember when I got the phone almost two years ago, I was told Android uses something called "ice cream" could that be it?

To the gullible jw who beleive (worship) the GB

in this weeks wt study p20 para 17 the gb directive in part says "all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive,whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not".

it behooves me,how anyone would obey such an organization,when you were told to preach and exhort people with a message(bible doctrine) for over a hundred years(and not question the message or the gb) only to find out the message was false.see wt july 15,2013 p8.-great tribulation did not begin in 1914.judgement of the sheep and goats did not begin in 1914.jesus arrival to appoint the faithful slave did not occur in 1919.wt 1984,1914 the generation that will not pass away.. in your clean christian conscience are you willing to obey such a vacillating organization.the proper thing to do is resign from this organization.

go apolize to the people for misleading them with a false message(doctrine).go preach the true gospel of jesus christ..

384 Priests Defrocked Over Abuse in 2 Years

by ShirleyW in

the above is title taken directly from the nytimes.com and below is just a snippet of the article.. i specifically recall when my mother used to do the dial-in when she was sick, i heard a brother mention in the wt study make a comment about the catholic church and all the child molestations going on (knowing damn well that the same thing was going on in the borg) all i have to say is at least they're making an effort to get rid of the problem by getting rid of the offenders, instead of telling them to "study more" or go out the in preaching service to rid themselves of the problem.

"the vatican defrocked 260 priests for the sexual abuse of children in 2011 and 124 more in 2012 after the scandal exploded in europe and beyond and bishops forwarded hundreds of cases to the vatican, according to statistics compiled by the associated press.. the numbers were confirmed by the vatican on friday, and were based on statistics published in its annual reference books.

two vatican officials had the statistics in hand but never cited them when they defended the churchs handling of sexual abuse cases before a united nations panel in geneva on thursday.
