    Got this poem sent to me and wanted to !!

    IF YOU KNOW JEHOVAH

    ’S DAY IS COMING TOMORROW

    THE TIME IS SHORT WHAT WILL I DO?

    I’LL STUDY MY WATCHTOWER

    MY KINGDOM MINISTRY, TOO.

    PREPARE FOR THE BOOK STUDY,

    READ ALL THE SCRIPTRES

    MAKE SOME NOTATIONS,

    EVEN STUDY THE PICTURES!

    THEN SUDDENLY YOUR’RE ZEALOUS.

    AND ALSO QUITE NERVOUS,

    AND REMEMBER HOW OFTEN,

    YOU NEGLECTED THE SERVICE.

    WHERE IS MY BIBLE?

    WHERE ARE MY BOOKS?

    GIVE ME MY BAG,

    I FORGOT HOW IT LOOKS!

    AND, OH, SO IMPORTANT,

    SINCE THERE

    ’S ONLY ONE DAY,

    I MUST NOT FORGET,

    TO INCESSANTLY PRAY.

    MEETINGS!! MEETINGS!!

    THAT’S WHERE I MUST GO.

    FORGET ABOUT PLAY,

    IT’S NOT IMPORTANT, YOU KNOW.

    JEHOVAH’S DAY IS NOW HERE,

    AND IT DID NOT DELAY.

    I WASTED MY TIME

    MUCH WORK AND MUCH PLAY.

    HIS DAY IS NOW HERE.

    HE SITS ON HIS THRONE,

    IN RIGHTEOUSNESS JUDGES,

    TO UPRIGHTNESS PRONE.

    GOD SPEAKS HIS JUDGEMENT-

    HOW OFTEN I TOLD YOU

    THE KINGDOM TO SEEK,

    AND ALWAYS BE STEADFAST,

    THUS AVOID GETTING WEAK.

    SO HERE IS YOUR JUDGEMENT,

    WITH REGRET I DO SAY,

    YOUR RECORD IS WRITTEN,

    AND THIS IS MY DAY.

    YOUR BIBLE IS DUSTY,

    YOUR RECREATION WAS FIRST

    FOR SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE,

    YOU SELDOM WOULD THIRST.

    YOU NEGLECTED YOUR SERVICE,

    AND MEETINGS FORSOOK,

    YOUR PRAYERS WERE NOT OFTEN,

    YOU

    YOU

    ’RE NOT IN MY BOOK!!

    Yeah, I remember poems like this being shared as part of the public talk (sermon).

    Good Girl or Bad Girl?

    That'll learn ya, Kerjy.

    Was this a chain mail or personally sent to you? How's it feel to be judged?

    I didn't know Jehovah had email.

    I thinking about turning around, going back and this poem is the reason!!

    Here's my response to the people who apply the above advice...

    You may go to five meetings a week
    And knock on door after door
    You may fancy yourself very meek
    And righteous right down to the core

    Your mind you may work hard to train
    While you reach for the utmost in piety
    You may feel you have much to gain
    From some men at the Watchtower Society

    You may study your lesson each day
    And mix with only the friends
    You may pour out your heart when you pray
    To be on earth when life never ends

    You may wonder why some go to college
    To you it seems full of anxiety
    ‘Cause the only approved sort of knowledge
    Comes from men at the Watchtower Society

    Then you find at the close of your life
    That the end never came as they said
    Your children, you and your wife
    Down a fine garden path have been led

    All your life you’ve been sold quite a load
    And you find with the greatest sobriety
    That your brain had been fully bestowed
    To those men at the Watchtower Society

    -Confession

    Thanks kerj for the "puke" alert!!

    Any place in there does it mention reading the Bible? Don't think so; just the scriptures cited in the societie's literature. Meetings and field service. yep yep yep

    That was a real sappy poem; JWs like this kind of stuff. Makes em feel all warm and fuzzy.

    Wow If I was only in a poem writing mood, I could give them a good rebuttal poem, but alas Im not. I did write a good XJW poem back in 2005 though.

    I re-worked my poem several times, but it goes like this:

    You stand on the corner with your watchtower and awake,
    all dressed prim and proper your smiles are so fake.

    You hand out your books and magazines galore,
    as you peddle your lies from door to door.

    You finger and you point out Christendom's flaws,
    While molesters run free through your kingdom halls.

    You said it would be wrong to plan a career,
    But when your checks roll in, you grin ear to ear.

    You would deny your kids a college education,
    While screaming "freedom of religion" through the courts of our nation.

    You claimed 1914 and 1975 were true,
    Now who's the false prophet, Christendom or you?


    These are a few stanza's I remember

    Here is another verse I reworked:

    Your still on the prowl for unsuspecting buyers,
    When we catch you red handed you still call us liars.
