    Seriously, didn't the Apostle Paul say something like that?

    It is in the Bible, right?

    Edited: Yep. Romans 3:4.

    I always liked "Take sides with Jehovah", and I guess that is what I did. I took sides with God against a renegade organization that uses His name and sought to put itself in Jesus place as our mediator. I was so disturbed when they changed the baptismal vows. For me that was very telling.

    And to think I had all those babies MEMORIZED!

    One in particular comes to mind: Hail Jehovah's Firstborn. One stanza goes, Who since He was created ... getting their point across that Jesus is a creature.

    You're right, Gopher. Propaganda set to music.

    Kingdom brainwashing melodies. I hate them all. When traveling in a car with super zealous brother, they always play one of the tapes. It drove me potty, I wanted to dive out the car while doing 70 mph down the motorway. I remember being counseled by an elder about why I'm struggling financially. I sarcastically remark quoting that stupid line from God Loves A Cheerful Giver, "All our time and resources to Jehovah they belong. If to him we do give them, we never will go wrong", I asked him, "why it my life is going wrong. Is it because Jehovah didn't want me to give up my well paying job and now I'm pioneering that I'm being punished." He was speechless when I walked off.

    I enjoy seeing about "molested bees". Very spiritual!

    Every man is a liar? Not very upbuilding, if you know what I mean.

    It really is in the Bible.

    Rom. 3:4.

    Yes and "bees that are molested..."

    And the line:

    "That to Jehovah and Islam, We our salvation owe."

    Well that's how it sounds when you sing it anyway...

    I forget the title of this one, but it never failed to enrage me. Every time I heard this song I wanted to start head butting the elders.

    Jehovah gives us shepherds too,
    Who strive to teach with insight,
    Their educated tongue reflects,
    That in their hearts they're upright.

    Now I'm feeling a little sick.

    OK nvr, I believe you. I still don't like singing about it though.

    Agreed, Amber Rose.

    I don't like the Bible either. LOL!
