I am curious if the other Photodrama songs are also still sung/used by LDS now.
Gotta admit, the first chorus (Youtube video) is nice... I like it...

Actually... Jesus being your mediator, the fact that we should be "Jesus's Witnesses", and much more...
We can't really get out of the JW box for now... we have too much "heat" right now from the elders... HATE IT!!
In reality, if I could really speak my mind, I would tell the truth, which is, like you said, the religion does NOT build faith in Christ...

Ever read back your own posts and thinking WTF?
by DeWandelaar inas time goes forward people tend to change... expecially if you get out of a cult.
your brain for some reason gets de- and reprogrammed and you get other insights and new opinions.
you become a other human.. when reading back some of my previous posts (of about a year ago) i could not help but have a wtf-moment... i even felt a sudden way of "shame" of all the bullshit i was writing.. if you want to read some of mine just check my posts of about a year back.

Jehovah's Witnesses View of Jesus Compared to the Early Church
by cofty inthe following is an extract from something i wrote 16 years ago soon after leaving the watchtower.
i am posting it because it may help honest jws consider how far their beliefs are at odds with new testament christians.
if they have "the truth" then their attitude to jesus ought to reflect that of the apostles.

Sorry OTWO =S
(It wasn't my intention)... I just have to say that 2+2 = 5 for now... my GF has no choice...
I haven't gone to meetings in months, I am so glad I don't have to listen to/say such bullsh!t...
I dress up and go to a coffee store, or go watch a movie with non-JW's!
(My first post is how I really feel...)

Here's the end result (sorry, not going to be overly "apostate" but it should make some think, I hope):
(The first part, my GF already wrote, so I will just write the last part):
A: However, I can show you that Jehovah’s Witnesses understand the enormous role that Jesus has had in the outworking of God’s purpose.
For example,
Please open your Bible to John 3:16. Most people know this verse, but it is a very important one.
“For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son,+ so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.”
So, K, what do we need to do to have everlasting life, according to this verse?
K: We must have faith in Jesus.
A: Exactly. There are more verses that show how important Jesus is to Christianity. I want you to open your Bible to Acts 1:8.
8 But you will receive power when the holy spirit comes upon you,+ and you will be witnesses+ of me in Jerusalem,+ in all Ju·de′a and Sa·mar′i·a,+ and to the most distant part* of the earth.”
So what does this tell us?
K: That Christians should preach about Jesus to the whole Earth. But what exactly do we preach about Jesus?
A: Well, we preach that Jesus’s death was necessary to redeem all of mankind. Please see 1 Timothy 2:5-6. Can you read it?
K: “5 For there is one God,+ and one mediator+ between God and men,+ a man, Christ Jesus,+ 6 who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all*+—this is what is to be witnessed to in its own due time.”
A: One last verse. Every Jehovah’s Witness gets baptized in the name of…
K: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit!
A: Exactly! So, K, without Jesus, where would we be?
K: Without Jesus, we would not have the ransom and we would not be able to have everlasting life. We would also not be able to be baptized “in the name of the Son”.
A: And since Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in the Bible, the logical conclusion is that…
K: We do have faith in Jesus!
A: Exactly!
K: Thanks, A, for helping me to explain how we as Jehovah’s Witnesses DO have faith in Christ!

The talk is called "The right religion demonstrates true faith in Christ"
I have to help my fading GF give the talk. If you have any subtle "apostate" ideas, I would appreciate them.
Here is what I would like to say:
As the title of the talk mentions, the right religion would demonstrate true faith in Christ. The Jehovah's Witnesses don't have a true faith in Christ, since:
We do NOT declare that Jesus is Lord (Romans 10:9)
There is no other name (Jesus Christ) under which men should be saved. Acts 4:10-12
We are to be called "Christians", NOT "Jehovah's Witnesses" - Acts 11:26, NWT
Change so many verses and make the New Testament have a totally different message.
