    Do current JW’s still sing ‘We’re Jehobah’s Witlesses!’ at their KH’s and convention‘s ??

    I suspect ..but am not sure if they still use this song….especially due to all the false statements in the words……….

    …Ours is the God of true prophECeeeeee what he fortells comes to be! (cough…cough….)

    Do men still make gods of wood and stone?

    Hmmmm - Kingdum Halls, Bethel buildings, and Witchtower magazines. They're all made of wood and stone...

    1. Men make gods of wood and stone, But the true god they've not known.

    He is the god almighty, As he's often shown.

    Other gods just cannot see what in future days will be.

    For witnesses they look all in vain, Since none their godship can maintain.

    Chorus: We're Jehovah's witnesses, We speak out in foolishness. Ours is the God of true torturing, what he foretells comes to be.

    2. You're my witneses' god said, other gods you need not dread.

    I am god jehovah, sovreign lord and head.

    I both saved and cannot see what in future days will be.

    For witnesses they name near and far; prove that my witnesses you are.

    Chorus:

    3. Witnessing exalts god's name, lifts there from reproach and shame.

    But it warns the wicked Who god's name defame.

    Pardon it holds out to men, if they turn to god again.

    Thus bearing witness brings joy and peace and hope of life that will not cease.

    Chorus.

    Damn, now I'll have that song stuck in my head for a week.

    I can see your point Latte the WTS has a 100% failure rate when it comes to prophecy or even prediction as they want to call it. For 120 years they didn't get anything right.

    And do they ever praise the Christ who is the head of the Christian church in their songs? Or is it all about praising jehovah?

    Not once does that song mention Jesus or Christ. The WTS doesn't refer to themselves any more as "Jehovah's Christian Witnesses."

    Out of 225 songs, these 12 pertain to Christ:

    Our Christian Unity 158

    Christian Dedication 13

    Christ Our Exemplar 205

    Hail Jehovah’s Firstborn! 105

    Recognizing Earth’s New King 168

    “Take My Yoke” 224

    The Bread From Heaven 150

    The Lord’s Evening Meal 87

    The Shulammite Remnant 118

    Showing Concern for “the Flock of God” 101

    “I Want To” 156

    With Christ in

    Our of the 225 songs, all 225 have either "jehovah" or "god" in the lyrics, only 218 mention "jesus" or "christ": but overall, "god" and "jehovah" are mentioned 1511 times but "jesus" and "christ" only 290 times.

    Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also. (1 John 2:22-23 RSV)
