Today I discovered the musical highlight of Jehovah's Witnesses, recently added to jw.org.
We had "from house to house, from door to door", but this song will be more famous!

This is not a new music. It was released 8 years ago.

Rumour has it that this cart was recycled from a ouija board. -

If the WTS ever had a “jump the shark” moment, it was surely the “singing literature cart”.
What idiot ever thought that it be even a remotely good idea?

The latest "original song" was released for the 2023 convention and it's here (remove the b in borg) https://www.jw.borg/en/library/music-songs/original-songs/It-Will-Not-Be-Late-2023-Convention-Song/
I don't know what the accompanying video for this is as I've not attended a convention, but this is another bland number that would have been repudiated by any JWs before the year 2000 as being too close to the kind of contemporary Christian music played by the happy-clappy brigade and American religious power pop groups of Christendom.
“It Will Not Be Late!” (2023 Convention Song)
Beauty fills the earth, wonder fills our mind
The work of your hands so patiently designed.
Though the world may change, you remain the same.
You patiently wait to make it new again.(CHORUS)
Father, we long to see Paradise come to be.
Give us the patience to wait.
We know your day will come, sure as the rising sun.
No matter how long it takes,
“It will not be late!”Faithfully we wait for the dead to rise.
Jehovah, you yearn to bring them back to life.
Father, we well know how you loved them so.
Instill in our hearts the patience you have shown.(CHORUS)
Patiently you search; honest hearts you find.
You heal them with hope and long to give them life.
Working by your side, sharing what is true,
We use our time well. It draws us close to you.(CHORUS)
Father, please help us to wait!

Strange idea that I was once singing these nonsens. Born into the religion, pomo since 2008.
Feeling better then ever!!

Somebody in the Organisation is channeling "Sweet Charity"! 😱 A pity that video clip wasn't choreographed by Bob Fosse; it might not be so cringeworthy.
I recall a theory that someone in the art department was slipping subliminal images into WT material as some sort of statement against the organisation.
This cart video is so lame that my first reaction was that this is someone taking the piss. It can't possibly be real! If it is, then someone in the PR department of the Watchtower is deliberately doing this to make it look idiotic!

The Cart Song is indeed an oldie.. I can’t believe they would take the P... out of themselves so I have to reckon it is unintentional humour... but it is funny
