    The lyrics have nothing to do with it, but this song reflects how barking mad life is within the confines of the organization...

    "On second thoughts, let's not become a Jehovah's Witness. It is a silly faith."

    If I was then - I want to break free - Queen - which oddly enough is playing on the radio now...

    Also U2 - All Along the watchtower - no reason

    I don't know if describes me as a JW but it described how I felt inside ... ..My Sweet Lord by George Harrison

    I really want to see you
    Really want to be with you
    Really want to see you lord
    But it takes so long, my lord

    I remember as teenager starting crying over this song ...

    U2 All Along the Watchtower? How about Bob Dylan since he actually wrote the song

    REM - "Losing my Religion"

    ...

    Life is bigger
    It's bigger than you
    And you are not me
    The lengths that I will go to
    The distance in your eyes
    Oh no I've said too much
    I set it up

    That's me in the corner
    That's me in the spotlight
    Losing my religion
    Trying to keep up with you
    And I don't know if I can do it
    Oh no I've said too much
    I haven't said enough
    I thought that I heard you laughing
    I thought that I heard you sing
    I think I thought I saw you try

    Every whisper
    Of every waking hour I'm
    Choosing my confessions
    Trying to keep an eye on you
    Like a hurt lost and blinded fool fool
    Oh no I've said too much
    I set it up

    Consider this consider this
    The hint of the century
    Consider this
    The slip that brought me
    To my knees failed
    What if all these fantasies
    Come flailing around
    Now I've said too much
    I thought that I heard you laughing
    I thought that I heard you sing
    I think I thought I saw you try

    But that was just a dream
    That was just a dream

    That's me in the corner
    That's me in the spotlight
    Losing my religion
    Trying to keep an eye on you
    And I don't know if I can do it
    Oh no I've said too much
    I haven't said enough
    I thought that I heard you laughing
    I thought that I heard you sing
    I think I thought I saw you try
    but that was just a dream

    try cry fly try

    but that was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream, dream

    I'm still in. Here's the song I picked: " Stuck in the Middle with You"

    "Well I don't know why I came here tonight.

    I got a feeling that something ain't right.

    I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,

    And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs.

    Clowns to the left of me,

    Jokers to the right.

    Here I am stuck in the middle with you.

    And I'm wondering what it is I should do"
