i went on line looking for old jw songs and some of them were pretty good and some were just awful!.
did you ever like any of those songs?
.
I liked the one they used to play at Memorial.
Cant remember the name of it.
It had the line
"Because Jehovah created the universe so grand, to him belong the earth and sky, the works of his own hand,"
It talked about the Israelites crossing through the sea and so on ,
I thought it was pretty and kind of gave a timeline.
Of course, they got rid of it.
The songs now are so inane and people just kind of mumble and stumble along.

do you know how important this man has been to your life?.
do you know your life would have been entirely different (without a doubt) had he not lived?.
What was it about that time period that spawned so many of these types?
its been awhile since i've commented but i come by and read your posts about once a week.
so why do i need a pep talk ?
after almost 2 years into my fade these bastards won't give it a rest constant hang ups on my answering machine and today for the first time in about 6 months they come to my apartment complex but thankfully couldn't get in they did keep buzzing me so they were here looking for me.
Youre doing it right. Good job Logan, keep up the good work~
"go, my people, enter your inner rooms, and shut your doors behind you.hide yourself for a brief moment until the wrath has passed by.
"(isaiah 26:20).
one of the questions that seem to trouble the governing body of the jehovah's witnesses in recent year is this: what will jehovah's witnesses be doing during the destruction of babylon the great?
I do know that is certain states (US) buildings that are safe for weather conditions that are severe, have a sign designating that on the building. Usually schools and the like.
There was a letter read a while back (this goes back over 5 years) stating that Kingdom Halls were not designated buildings to be used as shelters unless specified.
I figured that was part of their ongoing attempt to have zero liability (or accountability for that matter) toward their flock who gives them all their money.
hey there all you singles.
it's that time in the show where we all sign in and tell a little about ourselves.
i guess i will get the ball rolling here.. my name is stephanie.
spiritual but balanced brother
Oxymoron alert!
... and this time it was mine.. mrs. eden decided to part ways and leave home, and so our 25 year long partnership is now dissolving.
.
just another colateral damage in a long list of colateral damages from being raised in the "truth".
So sorry Eden.
many years back, my younger brother and i were the most mischievous kids in the kingdom hall.
we would mischievously take away things like the bible , study magazines, etc from meeting attendees.
soon, they will suspect us if anything went missing.. our parents were annoyed with our conduct and behaviour.. they requested an elder to talk to us.
The JWs have misplaced Jehovah!
It figures...
so 9 months before i started pioneering, i had a hot and heavy moment with this player witness who was just trying to string me along and talked to a lot of different girls.
we made out and he grabbed my goodies a few times you know the regular stuff all teens do at least once.
anyways i never saw him again because when i refused to send him nudes he dropped me.
Hi Addison,
As an older female talking to a younger one let me tell you that every feeling of outrage and indignity that you are feeling are 100% valid.
Do not let them tell you that just accepting their "discipline" is normal or tied to repentance. This is over control on their part. Your reaction to that is healthy.
Go read the Song of Solomon. Those two weren't married and I have always gotten a kick out of watching the puritan leadership of the Org dance around that book of the Bible!

Interesting that the Elder's manual says that if it is discovered that an Elder or Ministerial Servant committed a gross wrong several years ago that they may be able to continue serving.
Shame that your nemesis didn't wait another year so you could plead several years ago! Not that it would matter, you are just a lowly female pioneer!
Yes it is the 3 year rule.
An elder guilty of sexual misconduct of over a couple years (a couple being 2) does not have to be removed if it is not well known.
His time serving during the three years is proof of Gods blessing.
So says the elders manual and it references an earlier Kingdom Ministry.
i would suppose that there are many at very sensitive operations at headquarters and around the world that are moles or double agents a 5th column if you will that are in but mentally out and full of hated for the governing body.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fifth_column.
a fifth column is any group of people who undermine a larger group from within, usually in favour of an enemy group or nation.
the activities of a fifth column can be overt or clandestine.
Many thoughts for you Committee C.
Please know that you are not alone. You have us and we care deeply about your well being.
