i have not been able to find any photo's of satan the devil in the watchtower.
there are photo's of the serpent with eve, satan's hand offering kingdoms to jesus and a shadowy cloaked figure speaking to jesus on the mountain.
apart from that i cannot locate any of a proper looking devil.
Check out this link at the official site. The pic at the top left. http://www.watchtower.org/e/20091001a/article_01.htm
I remember this picture not too long ago but can't remember what publication it was on. It hit me for the same reason: I had never seen an illustration with Satan's face. Sorry, but I couldn't figure out how to post the pic. I didn't want to post w/o the actual pic but couldn't find it. Just happened to browse across it by accident... ;)
hi, i usually don't post here a lot but, i spent some time with my aunt and uncle last week.
he's df'ed and she's inactive but still makes some meetings.
we somehow got into how bad some of the new songs are and they both mentioned a few interesting things about the songs back in the 60-80's.
Thanks for the help everyone... I was able to find a few of the old songbooks. Boy were things different back then!!! I'd love to hear 5,000 people try to sing double chorus at a convention these days.... LOL
Neonman you're right. A lot of titles are the same, but w/o the music it's kinda hard to tell. Also, the words to some songs did change quite a bit between 1900-1930's years.
So far these are the ones I'm missing: I looked everywhere but can't find them. I find it odd specially since one of them is not that old...
Singing and Accompanying Yourselves With Music in Your Hearts (1966, 119 songs)
Songs of Praise to Jehovah (1928, 337songs)
Kingdom Hymns (1925; 80 songs)
Songs of the Bride (1879, 144 songs)
I think the first two would be the most interesting to compare with their counterparts. I'm sure there's quite a few changes between "Accompanying Yourselves" vs "Sing Praises" and "Songs of Praise to J" vs "Songs of Praise to J".
Anybody have an extra copy of "Accompanying Yourselves"??

I guess those were the days back then when they really told it like it was and didn't take no from anybody
Thats what got my attention. My uncle said he still remembers his favorite song from one of those books: Song of Reproach against Satan, or something like that... Where they pretty much "thrashed him". LOL
I was like: "What?!! We had a song like that?? Sweet, I've got to see it." I know they used to use the word "Zion" too a lot.

When a cousin was visiting here from Latin America during the summer, she also said our grandma is not very happy and keeps saying how much better songs were even back in "her days"... I'm guessing back in the 30's-50's.
I thought it'd be interesting to look into it and see what differences there are in music and doctrine as well. Does anyone have any older songbooks you want to get rid of or give away??? Or any PDF's would be helpful too. Thanks.

Looks like others have had trouble with it but eventually made it work. Try PM'ing them, or see if any of the suggestions they offer might help you.

(((((((((((((NVL)))))))))))) So sorry you had to go through all that crap... But like others have said, at you're now free at last. And can continue to live YOUR life as fully as never before. Hugs again.
my health is good but i do worry about how the economy affects my income.
you just never know if $$$ comes in or if business is slow.. what's your biggest worry in your life?.
Health as well I think.. I suffer from chronic depression, and I'm in my mid20's. It really sucks. And of course by following the Society's advice about college I don't even come close to being able to pay for therapy and medication. And it all becomes harder with my trying to leave and family shunning.... aaggggghhhh all the drama.... I'm thinking about going back to college. I think that'll help with depression as it'll keep me busy. And I'll then have a realistic way (money) of dealing with it.
ok, so this weekend was dc for me.
i still need to go from time to time and attend them just to see the old "friends" and keep a reasonably civilized relationship with my family.
kudos to those of you who've endured the whole thing, i've already got a knot on my stomach.
Oooohh beks you're right!!! Snoozy as much as I'd love to take you on on that, I'm still kinda paraoid about giving away too much info about myself on this site. I had already thought about writing a review online and writing a letter. Unfortuntely, it's a local hotel only, nothing like a Radisson or double tree. I already tried getting corporate online but there's only three hotels in this city and that's it. I had already though of Billys suggestion. I'll try that, but they took that deposit out back a couple months ago. aaaaaaahhhh!!!! I"m so screwd. I guess beks and WWTwizard are right. I decided to come more for the old gigs, walking around all dressed up, saying hi to the pretty sisters, and just kinda see some old friends. Unfortunately, I couldn't just pretend I'd attended a different one as there is only one convention close here, so either I go or everyone will know. This is so frustrating!!!!!
