Someone in a previous congregation told me that Crystal Blue Persuasion was written about The Truth (That Leads to Eternal Life) book. I never did find out if that reference was true or not.
But back to the topic, if we dared to listen to anything but kingdom melodies, then classical music was always ok. Anything that mentioned evil, devil, demons was obviously bad, but so were things that mentioned God / Jesus, because they all had all stemmed from wrong teachings.
What points did you appreciate from today’s lesson?
i realize this is an older posting on jw.org, but i’d come across it again after reading holden’s thread.

no, jehovah’s witnesses are not a cult.
Matthew 26:64: “You yourself said it.”
it seems like we are all getting pigeon-holed into a category that may or may not be applicable to us.
personally, i am a "d" but i am sure there are a few (though statistically insignificant) who would otherwise fall into an "o" or other category.. it just seems like society needs to label us in the l g b t q c g d communities.. rub a dub.
Do you mean besides Disfellowshipped?
has anyone experienced that family members of the general flock and those of the elders were treated differently, unfairly, or just put on a pedestal just coz they were elders kids?
where i grew up ,elders kids used to steal from their dads wallet right in fron t of us , and say to us that " if you say anything no one will believe you, i am the elders son".this went on from bad to worse , he grew up a constant liar, wore earrings to college and questionable association and clothes, involved in all things worldly.
.i know this coz he had a worldy friend who lived next door to me.this neighbors house was his go to for a double standard life style.
If you want to be bold about it and call him out on it, you can take advantage of the next time that you’re assigned a talk. You can play the marking game, just like the elders do. Call out the type of action in your talk. Make it specific enough so that people get the point. But don’t mention any names. If I were still in, that’s what I would have done.
i’ll start it off.
boy did we get drunk last night.
“I was hoping that we could go through the old Ezekiel book or Revelation book again .”
do you think the watchtower will sell off any more kingdom hall after the 3,000 have been sold of and why do you think that.
Why, did you want to buy one?
I’m waiting for the Armageddon sale prices, personally.

the finnish government has ruled that the current law allowing jehovah's witnesses to avoid military service, in place for several decades, is discriminatory and contradicts the constitution.. .
in the future, finnish jehovah's witnesses* will be obliged to either serve in the nation's military or perform civil service on the same terms as everyone else, the government ruled, submitting a corresponding proposal to parliament, national broadcaster yle reported.. according to the 1987 law, jehovah's witnesses were not only freed from the military draft, they were freed of any obligation to perform community service as a pacifist alternative, a common option among other young people in finland.
Well, if it’s not for religious reasons that they want to avoid the draft, why would it be? Possibly because the young men at Bethel might be taken away from them, and there goes their free labor?
two years ago i started stand up comedy.
here is a recent video.
thx.
You get a G for audience contact and use of notes. We look forward to your next assignment!
my wife and me have a booth at the local framers market.
there is usually about 12 t0 14 vendors each week on a small short street in town.
what is funny on each end of this short street are cart setups with 3 people on each cart.
It looks like the JWs found a new, convenient use for the wheels on their carts. You never know when you’ll need to escape quickly!
