None match the average untrained voice. There is no base parts for males no high parts for females voices. No praise and that crap recorded piano music. Ugh!

Sing Dirges to Jehovah?
by donny inback in 1985 my then-wife and i were having a lunchtime "gathering" at our place to show some support to the ones in our congregation who were full-time pioneers.
i had just recently received the vinyl collection of the songs featured in the song book "sing praises to jehovah" which had been released the previous year.. .
many of these melodies sounded depressing to me although i would have never admitted it at the time.

Moustaches vs. beards - one of the contributing factors to losing my cognitive dissonace
by Pacopoolio inas a little background - i was born-in to being a witness, back in '79, in detroit, in mostly black and poor congregations.
baptized when 10-ish, stayed around, was on the fast track to ms, but faded when i moved out at 24ish.. there was a combination of a few things that got me on the road to "freedom" from the cognitive dissonance that kept me "in the truth" for so long.
the main thing was, being an artist and studying marketing, my thinking was patterned to constantly question if i was doing something "correctly," as constant improvement and questioning is what facilitates artistic and mental growth.

I had a beard once and with no notice at all the Service meeting was devoted to beards. Me. The only one. All the time the elder went on his adult daughter was sitting infront of me in her usual string strap backless skimpy attire. My wife opened up on this type of dress and all the shoes off once the sisters sat down. Hmm red faces.. none of them mine.
I wrote a letter to the DO after this never got a reply.

We have a saying here. "If it sounds to good to be true it probably is".
A few years back jw were all getting into some buy everything u need off us and save and get your friends into it as well-- scheme.
Then there was another one "All Australian company" that went belly up with lots of debts and HQ in NY.
jw seem particularly prone to getting into these schemes.

Health Advise Needed.
by RottenRiley in.
if your sister and brother died of cancer and now your body is starting to show all the effects of the disease, would you want to know even if it might mean a death-sentence?.
my dad, sister, brother and now mom will die from this ugly disease, all of them had aggressive forms of stomach cancer, my mother's battliing it has me putting my health on the back burner because i am very obstinate and hate doctors, why should i go see a doctor if the last four people i loved all died of cancer once they got their dx?.

UN vs. The Vatican - Ex-JWs, are you sure?
by gold_C inso about a few years ago, thanks to this site i became convinced that everything that the jws have been saying is a bunch of nonsense and that i shouldn't worry about it.
it gave me some comfort, since there are several things i disagree with when it comes to the way one has to live in order to be a witness.
however, this business with the un attacking the vatican seems a little too much like what the witnesses have been preaching about to simply ignore:.

why would the UN attack the Rc church? Well for a start it is very high profile and the biggest. It has therefore (the biggest) a very public situation to face with the matter of child abuse.
The wts has held itself up as the one true faith and has so many times at so many conventions and publications slammed the rc church for its failings and doctrine. (as perceived by the wts) But the crows have come home to roost as ther scandals and pay outs from the wts are becoming ever more public and by means of this the web right around the world.
It may well be that the stench of child abuse coming out of this org the wts will see it caught up in the net of prosecution if it comes directed at the rc church and many others. Remember that the majority of nations in the UN are not 'christian' and would like any chance to knock down and kick the biggest christian org in the world. And for the wts with its million dollar temple recently opened in NY USA ever bragging of its moral superiority will get a kickking too. It will only take the US govt to say no more tax exemptions and they will scream 'persecution' from their rooftops but no one will give a damn.
How will the gb take it if the forces of law boot them out of their Bethel onto the street? For one, they will know just how others felt when ejected from their years of devotion to the wts and they will have to move in with other bros and sisters if they will have them or crawl back to people they have shunned for years.
Interesting times. We may see the prosecution of the RC church over these matters and other orgs (churches) will get get swept up with the same large broom.

These days the wts is found to have been an affiliate of the UN and voting with the tiniest announcement is now up to your 'conscience'.
I wonder if Errol Burton is still a jw?
