  DC 2009 “NEW SONGBOOK” Details.

  The New songbook entitled “Sing to Jehovah” will have 135 songs, 42 which are new. Jehovah’s Witnesses start using these "beautiful melodies" in January 2010. Cong may order and begin receiving them after September 1st.

  25 years have passed since our last songbook.

  Expressions like “the new order” are no longer used but rather “the new world”

  Love, Joy and Peace are not “fruits of the spirit” but are rather aspects of the fruitage of the spirit.

  Jehovah’s name will be “sanctified” not “vindicated”

  There is a new song about Children

  New song about Women

  New song for the Elderly

  New songs to help with discouragement from our imperfections.

  2 new songs for Kingdom hall construction projects.

  2 new songs for Christian Weddings

  New lyrics have been made for familiar melodies that (due to subject matter) had previously made them less useful. The new lyrics have been composed with a view to making the songs more useable.

  Unfamiliar expressions have been replaced and awkward words have been removed.

  it seems as if the courts in south africa are taking a hard line stance on children of jehovahs witnesses and blood transfusions.

  a 12-year-old jehovah's witness girl has received a life-saving blood transfusion that she did not want after a johannesburg high court order gave doctors the go-ahead.. .

  Blood transfusions are sloppy medicine for the unexperienced doctor. In some parts of the world that are behind the times a blood transfusion might be necessary but in any developed country a blood transfusion is simply the easy old-school way to perform a procedure. for a planed surgery you should never have to resort to a blood transfusion.

  Doesn't this quote ring a bell?

  by WingCommander in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "when our own thoughts are forbidden, when our questions are not allowed and our doubts are punished, when contacts and friendships outside of the organization are censored, we are being abused for an end that never justifies its means.

  when our heart aches knowing we have made friendships and secret attachments that will be forever forbidden if we leave, we are in danger.

  when we consider staying in a group because we cannot bear the loss, disappointment and sorrow our leaving will cause for ourselves and those we have come to love, we are in a cult.

  in my lifeitme i think the big changes have been since about 2002 with the new tms book and format. since then they have been cleverly manipulating the format of all the old lititure and way the meetings are structured. and there really hasnt been any "omg this is new light" moments apart froma few minor details that they throw in now and then. i think its all about trying to make it apper to blind jws that they are prepareing to enter the new system and that everything will need to be changed. Its all hipe! nothing to solidify a persons faith. just to keep you tethered with a change here and there.
