i've been out a while and have only put in a rare appearance at a memorial or brief visit at a convention/assembly to keep people off my back, so i haven't kept up on the songbook.
but one thing i've noticed that the org.
has been doing that they never did when i was in is all these "supplemental songs" that keep appearing.
David Splane, David Splane, and David Splane.
He plays the piano and sings very well.
He told us at a house party oops "gathering", "I served as the liaison between the Governing Body and the music department at Bethel, for the production of the new song book."
The problem he has is that he can't write lyrics nor music, plus his narcissism gets in the way of everything he does.
David Splane, the inventor of the overlapping group generation and the worst songs this cult has ever had.
paul knew that torah with all its rituals and sacrifices did not originate with god (jeremiah 7:22; 8:8), hence he warned christians to guard against deceptive philosophy that would take them back to torah.
(colossians 2:8 compare 2:11, 16, 17) in view of the over-all view of the bible, there is no excuse to use the word philosophy with any negative connotation.
jws built their stand on philosophy based on this wrong (negative) use of the word philosophy found in colossians 2:8.. the greek word philosophi a means love of wisdom.
i've found it interesting that- imho- most of the politically vocal ex-jw's at this website seem to lean left.
i'm personally pretty centered- right on some issues, left on others, but overall have a pretty cynical view of all political/religious leaders.
i find it somewhat ironic that people who leave such a dogmatic group like the witnesses become so politically dogmatic.
i am jehovah's witness, despite some of the questionable teachings, crimes, and other outlandish behaviors of specific people affiliated with the religion.
i know that my relationship with jehovah is not influenced by any outside factors.
i do not condone any crime.
I love how Jehovah keeps the Down Syndrome birth rate at 1 in 700. 1 in 1400 would be too rare. Praise the wisdom of Jehovah!
somebody mentioned in a recent topic that they had a conversation with a former elder whose breaking point was when the overlapping generation was highlighted in recent times and how he would never serve again until somebody gave him a scriptural reason to believe it.
i am in a similar position.
i have gone in the last 18 months from taking the wt study, leading fs groups, and doing talks on the mtngs to doing almost nothing, as i resigned a little over a year ago as an elder due to a combination of family responsibilities and huge doubts.
in this recent episode of the atheist experience "john from london" calls in to the show to give his arguments for god's existence.
matt and tracie use logic to point out the flaws in his arguments - very weak arguments!.
near the end of the conversation, john starts talking about the un turning on religion.

Religion = bad ideas
Will the UN disseminate good ideas in it's battle?

Jesus was NOT talking to ANOINTED people when he said these words. Asshole!
No one was anointed until after his death. He was talking to the "other sheep" version of his disciples at the time he spoke these words. Remember, John the Baptizer was of the "other sheep" just like the rest of the monkeys were until the "outpouring of the holy spirit" at Pentecost 33.
Their BS is really stretched.
