  Did you like hymns as a jw?

  by jean-luc picard in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just explaining to mrs picard........ never a jw, and not english, how we used to celebrate the harvest festival, when i was 7 and younger, before my parents converted to jw'ism.. i loved to sing "we plough the fields and scatter".

  of course, singing such hymns is, to a jw, paramount to apostasy,with the death penalty like punishment the ensued.. how really stupid their harsh rules.. did you have any favourite hymns?.

  i think we would all agree, that they beat the pants off the "kingdom melodies".

  James: I dont feel a desire to go to church/chapel nowadays. I must admit, though, that I have some fond memories of when we used to go to chapel

  I like so many of the songs you've mentioned.

  I really should learn la marseillaise..

  simon: I just love christmas carols. I had forgotten about the salvation army bands though. They do add a bit of ambiance.

  I commisurate with your feelings mrs eden. The problem is:for most jws, your sister included, they just dont know how to talk about normal things.Their sphere of knowledge/interests is just soooo limited.

  ex mrs picard, daughter of an elder, has never been disfellowshipped. lived with one guy for 2 years and now "has a new boyfriend every month"according to my son.

  i though, was disfellowshipped double quick, when they knew about mrs p and I,even though I was living 1000 miles away.

  as my mum said " jehovah sees all" lol
