Songs which remind you of J Dubs....

I was just sitting here listening to a song by Breaking Benjamin called "Rain" and it reminded me of the Witnesses.

" "Rain" Take a photograph,
It'll be the last,
Not a dollar or a crowd could ever keep me here,
I don't have a past
I just have a chance,
Not a family or honest plea remains to say,

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

Is it you I want,
Or just the notion
Of a heart to wrap around so I can find my way around

Safe to say from here,
Your getting closer now,
We are never sad cause we are not allowed to be

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun. "

It almost sounds like he's singing about rain during feild service to me LOL..I must have Dubs on the brain tonight....

So what songs remind you all of the Witnesses??

Actually, this part of the song:

"Take a photograph,
It'll be the last,
Not a dollar or a crowd could ever keep me here"

Makes me think of my best friend (Witness) in Memphis, because I knew I was gonna stop going to the meetings and wouldn't see her again and I have all these pictures of us.

So glad to see you So glad you're here Come here beside me now We can clear inhibition away All inhibitions Throw them away And when we dance like this Like we've never been dancin' before Chorus: Oh, they were swingin' Down at Kingdom Hall Oh, bells were ringin' Down at the Kingdom Hall A choir was singin' Down at the Kingdom Hall Hey, liley, liley, liley Hey, liley, liley, low Do do do do do do, do Do do do do do do Do do do do do do, do Do do do do do do Good body music Brings you right here Free flowin' motion now When we're shakin' it out on the floor Good rockin' music Down in your shoes And when we dance like this Like we've never been dancin' before Repeat Chorus Down at the Kingdom Hall They were havin' a party They were havin' a ball Bells were ringing out And the choir was singin' Hey, liley, liley, liley Hey, liley, liley, low Do do, do do, do do, do do Sugar was there Did you see Sugar Down at the Kingdom Hall Sugar was tough

EELS LYRICS "Jehovah's Witness"

Jehovah's witness leave me alone
Jehovah's witness i'm not at home
Keep on a-knockin' and ringin' the bells
Knockin' your way straight to hell

Jehovah's witness let's not pretend
That for one second you are my friend
Knock on my door and i'll turn out the light
Close the curtains and turn in for the night

Jehovah's witness why must it be
Just when i'm feeling good i look out and see
You walking up in your very nice suit
Like i'm some old lady who'll give up her loot

Jehovah's witness leave me alone
Jehovah's witness i'm not at home

zman

'Another one bites the dust', that song comes to mind.

Brooks and Dunn 'Brand New Man' when you get baptized, and for sure

Garth Brooks 'Standing Outside The Fire', when you get dfed.

Prince 'Seven"

I will have to think of somemore. zman

Peppermint

This song by Alanis Morissette always makes me think of being a witness. For catholic please read JW.

You know how us Catholic girls can be
We make up for so much time a little too late
I never forgot it, confusing as it was
No fun with no guilt feelings
The sinners, the saviors, the loverless priests
I'll see you next Sunday
Chorus:
We all had our reasons to be there
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did
I sang Alleluia in the choir
I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man
My brothers they never went blind for what they did
But I may as well have
In the name of the Father, the Skeptic and the Son
I had one more stupid question
Repeat Chorus
What I learned I rejected but I believe again
I will suffer the consequence of this inquisition
If I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven
Repeat Chorus
We all had delusions in our head
We all had our minds made up for us
We had to believe in something
So we did

And the prize goes to....Blondie

Oh, they were swingin'
Down at Kingdom Hall
Oh, bells were ringin'
Down at the Kingdom Hall
A choir was singin'
Down at the Kingdom Hall

For a while you could send sound to the old H20 discussion board and we had fun hearing each others voices - first thing I sent was Van the mans Kingdom Hall - classic. Us young JWs thought it was great but were too scared to play it in front of old farts and elders.

ah .. memories

*****

my favorite:

...

gentlemen he said

I don't need your organization

I shined your shoes

I marked your cards

but Eden is burning

either get ready for ellimination

or your hearts must have the courage

of the changing of the guards

Changing of the Guards. Bob Dylan.
