  To you and all those with similar inclinations and questions,

  I am 23 yo. I "came out" in november of 2007. I served at a regular pioneer/territory servant/ sound/ magazine servant/ liturature servant/ ect. I grew up in a 5th generation JW household. Needless to say I was very deep into the JW thing. I was 21 yo when i moved out and 'came out'. I now live in seattle, WA. Please let me know if you have any questions. Id be happy to talk personally with you if you would like via IM or email or phone ect.

  OMG OMG not only are there a bunch of new songs but the lyrics for the old songs have been totally changed sometimes the words are completly difernt and several times they just completly take out a whole verse. looks like most if not all have reduced down to 2 or 3 verses max.

  I can just see it now the songs are going to be all buchered up with one word changes here and there... all the older ones are going to be so confused cause the melody might still be the same but BAM the words are all funky now.

  My grandma would allways tell me about how, when my uncle was younger, he comented on (Revelation 20:4)but said, "And I saw thorns (thrones), and there were those who sat down on them, and power of judging was given them. "
  ...and everyone cracked up laughing.

  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.

  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.
