  DOC, Yup, I have to admit why and how I know this kind of thing goes on. 1: My father did it BIG TIME and it woked every time. 2: My uncle did it. worked great for him too. Knowing how easily COs and DOs are favorably influenced by large sums of money helped me to start waking up.

  Edit to add: EE I totally agree with your point that in Dubbieland "no greater honor could there be" than to represent the FDS and GB at their District conventions. It is a public endorcement.

  There was another which had the line :"The sword of Jehovah and of Giddeon" The pink book changed the lyric to "And work for it's sanctification" It watered down the message. LOL

  I also remember the old green songbook. There was a song I'll bet the society would like to revive. It was something like "Follow the greater Jeptha" The line was "Follow the Greater Jeptha who can not fail. Following him we will prevail." I can still remember my dad singing it with gusto!

  BOC, How much do you want to bet that the bro who dumped his family to marry a sweet young thing lent his platinum credit card to the DO before he was honored with a DC talk?

  Scott, I'm sure you are right about the WT$ wanting to send the message that they back company men and DF those who follow their conscience.

  Apple polishers and brown nosers have always been "used" as speakers at DCs but promoting these two is ridiculous even for the WT$. The "conscience" of the district atendees was rightly offended.

  Still thinking, Thanks for posting Neil Youngs Sugar Mountain. What a blast from the past! Gotta love his haunting sound.
