  this was the last song of the Service meeting this week. The new version sounds like a death march anthem. The melody has changed and I think the words have also.

  I truly used to like that song and it was one of the first song's I could sing as a kid. Now to listen to it sung it is just depressing. Only the governing body could take music and songs and take the life out of them. Did anyone else notice it during the service meeting?

  The new song book is further evidence that the retards in Brooklyn are without God's spirit, and also deaf. Praise Jehovah for such horrible music!

  I used to love the Kingdom songs...in the end they were the only parts of the meetings I enjoyed at all...now they've ruined them too....what happened to 'the joy of Jehovah is your stronghold' ???

  I think the GB eradicated it...what a good move.

  I didn't even click on this theme at first, but now that song is going round and round in my head and I just can't get it out. I hate it when that happens.

  Here's my version of the JW song " We're Jehovah's Witnesses " . Maybe with THESE lyrics it makes it more palatable !

  We're Jehovah's Witnesses , we speak out in mindlessness

  Ours is the God of false prophecy

  What he foretells never comes to be

  Other Gods they always know

  Mind control cults always step on toes

  Keep witnessing our cult near and far

  By controlling their minds put in a jar !

  We're Jehovahs Witnesses , we speak out in mindlessness

  Ours is the God of false prophecy - what he foretells we can't see.

  Hoped you enjoyed the satire. Peace out, Mr. Flipper

  I notice when I went to the Memorial last year that they changed the lyrics to the song they always sing. The one that goes "Jehovah our father in heaven; oh this is a most holeeee niiiiight. Twas Nissan 14 when your glory was seen.......something, something, something something...."

  Anyway, the new version is absolutely horrible. It used to at least have a nice tone to it but now it sounds like---as you said---a freaking death march. I'm not sure why they'd go to all the trouble to change the notes but they did just as shitty as job on that as what they do with bible prophecy.

  That's right. Might be written in different key (too lazy to look for old book).
