  Most will know I still attend the meetings, for "family reasons". I can barely sing the Kingdom songs anymore. I find myself changing the words to more appropriate ones, trying to do it in the ear shot of my wife!

  We've had caption contests on here, what about change a Kingdom song Contest?

  If you want to be reminded of how it goes!....

  “This Is the Way”
  (Isaiah 30:20, 21)
  1. God’s voice keeps on calling; O walk in the way,
  The way that Jehovah has shown us today.
  He has a fine channel that’s surely unique,
  And through it he chooses to warn and to speak.
  This is the way in which to walk.
  O do not wait! O do not balk!
  With our own ears, we hear the call so crystal clear.
  About it we should ever talk.
  God’s spirit will help us to walk straight ahead.
  In tracks of uprightness we do well to tread.

  2. The word from behind us, how pleasant its tone,
  For our Grand Instructor has made his way known.
  We hear with discernment and listen with care.
  Of taking false steps we now want to beware.
  Walk in God’s way of truth and light,
  The way of holiness so bright.
  Our eyes of faith do see that soon true peace there’ll be,
  For Christ now reigns with Kingdom might.
  No right or left turning we dare ever take,
  But walking in God’s way, advancement we’ll make.

  3. The way of Jehovah we need to expound
  To those who will listen the wide world around.
  Like doves to their dovecotes, those hearing now flock
  And come to the true God, their Refuge, their Rock.
  Jehovah’s way is one of peace.
  From Satan’s world He gives release.
  In paths of righteousness and ways of pleasantness,
  He leads to life that will not cease.
  We lift up our heads, then, and quicken the pace,
  With eyes on the Kingdom, our true resting-place.

  “This Is the Way”
  (Isaiah 30:20, 21)
  1. Borg's voice keeps on calling; O walk in the way,
  The way that Gov bod has shown us today.
  There it as a flawed channel that’s surely unique,
  And through it they choose to whine and to squeak.
  This is the way in which to balk.
  O do not think! O do not talk!
  With our own ears, we hear the call, so give us a beer.
  About it we should ever squalk.
  Pioneer spirit will help us to tack too and throw.
  In tracks of uptightness we do well to shead.

  2. The word from behind us, oh how it does mone,
  For the Governing Body has made it's way known.
  We hear with discernment and listen on chairs.
  Of hating false truths we now want to beware.
  Walk in bod's way of "truth" and flight,
  The way of huggliness, so fight.
  Our pies of faith do see that soon true peas there’ll be,
  For the Borg now reigns with Kingdom might.
  No right or left turning we dare ever take!
  But walking in bod’s way, advancement we’ll fake.

  3. The way of Brooklyn we need to expound
  To those who will listen the wide world around.
  Like dubs to their dubvecotes, those hearing now mock
  And come to the true bod, their Refuge, their not!
  Borg's way is one of fleace.
  For Satan’s world He gives increase.
  In paths of brainwasheousness and ways of thoughtlesness,
  It leads to a life that will not cease.
  We lift up our cheques, then, and quicken the pace,
  With eyes on the assimulation, our true testing-place.
