Too right! It's difficult enough at the best of times, you have to put stuff on the floor and stand on one leg and use your knee to lean your notebook on!! I'm thinking now that if Jehovah really wanted us to go on the door-to-door work he would have created us with three arms!

Windchaser, how on earth is she supposed to use the counsel she had about gesturing at her last No3 carrying around that mess!

ISP,
Six months? I once moved to "where the need wasn't great"! I left a congregation that got round their territory once every 14/15 months to a congregation that got through their maps once every 2 weeks!

Alternative lyrics to kingdom songs

by Matty in

have you ever sung alternative lyrics to kingdom songs during a meeting or a convention?

to qualify they have to sound very similar to the actual words so you can get away with it without too much attention being drawn to yourself.

here are three examples, i'm sure there are many more, so please feel free to add!.

Thanks Ang for the links. Dolphman, can I continue in the theme you set?

Myriads and Myriads of rubbers
All clad in fetherlites
Each one electro-tested
Serving us every night
Myriads there are on Myriads
Truly a mighty shroud
In all the nations of the earth
We all are standing proud

(127 Myriads of Brothers)

after i have read a lot of this here, and evrything bill say, i must say this is a very delicat and difficult issu.

almost unbelevebel difficult.. i dont want to defend abusers, fare from that, i hate them,and think the best is to take ther balls away, but i think it is important that this not turns out to be a witchunt on men, like it was inn in sweden in the some time ago, some swedeish famus writer say this is the moderm times witchunt.. in 1600 children was turnig inn ther mothers and say they was witch, and they was burnd , who can go against children.. here some social educated peopel find when they ask children, that if they think wery carefull, they must remeber that some have abuse them when they was littel children, we have also some case where fadher was realesd from prison after the children confesd that they was lying.. so this writer say that men is modern times witch, if you understan what i meen.. intresting thaught on a very difficult issu, but i think it is easy that this thing can turn out to be a hunt .. wher even some innocent is condemd.

this was only my thaughts late inn the swedish summer .

The problem is very clear. If serious accusations are not handled by the proper authorities then the rumour mill can kick in. This is dreadful for all parties concerned. Unless these matters are handled by professionals and investigated thoroughly, nothing can be proven outright. Firstly, evil criminals can go unpunished, and on the flipside, innocent people's reputations can be destroyed.
