Hi,

I've decided to put together an ebook of poems about the watchtower
and upload it to lulu.com. I'm not looking to make any money out of
this, I'll make it available for free download, but it will hopefully be a
fun project.

I'm looking for about 50 poems, the length doesn't matter, and the
only rules regarding being considered for the book is that they
refer to the watchtower experience, activities or doctrines in
some way and don't contain a single word of praise for the org.
Sarcasm is acceptable, and is indeed welcome.

I have a few poems of my own, and a couple that a friend has sent
me. If any of you wish to contribute, please pm me on here or email
me at [email protected].

I look forward to hearing from you

Watchtower org. cult in disguise
I fell victim to all their lies
19 years of wasted life
All I received was countless strife

Internet search revealed the lies
Opened wide my once shuttered eyes
Now I’m free to really live
And feel I’ve plenty still to give

The joy of being fully set free
With others to accompany me
Now amongst true friends who know
Watchtower is just a “Christian” show

Taking scriptures to bend their way
Frightening people about judgement day
So don’t be fooled by their disguise
Their doctrine is just a pack of lies

Just Defy

Will the good sirs lend an ear?
Will they pause to hear the earnest plea
of one who, willing, labored out a will
grotesque?

Will they dignify the honest strum
that underplays the beating drum of laws
exacted, without cause, unfeeling,
statuesque?

Will these Judges heed the cry
of those who die upon false altar
for their faltering toward a life more
Zolaesque?

Will "righteous" shepherds lift and justify?
These ill-born slaves, these knaves, they just defy.

There once was a Witness in Brooklyn,
Who washed windows at Bethel and drank gin.
He got tired of the lies, though well hid in disguise,
So he DAed and now lives in "sin."

Oh I once knew a Sis from Nantucket.

(Oops, I see this isn't in the "Adult" section. My bad.)

Thanks guys.

I hope to start putting things together in the next few weeks, once
I have enough material. I'll post once the book is done and uploaded.

Keep them coming

There once was a Sis from Nantucket
when called to the elders said, "F*** it!
They now want to know
'How far did it go?'
Religion's insane. I should chuck it!"

I DID NOT TELL. Now go here and tell me if you like my Limerick. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/143534/1.ashx

Oops! Wrong thread.

Not "tell," "tolled." You know, as in ring a bell. ;-)

Y NV?

Strange actions, evil forays
not on His List
of agreed-upon Ways.
Righteous displays
are quickly dismissed,
with a gnarled fist
by the tired old men with eyes ablaze.

Destruction
of dire
Constructs
construed to be
Disastrous.

The Masters of Us,
or pretenders there of,
did hassle and harass us
out of so-called love.

Escaped the Dark Tower,
Our Prison-Sanctuary.
Regained Our lost Power
through honest Self-Inquiry.
