I went to meeting today and the sister in front of me was upset song 134 now song 139 no longer contains jehovahs name. They took it out.

I never even noticed

How weird - it is one of the new songs aswell, it is the only change to this particular song, in the chorus....

NOW - Song 139: See Yourself When All Is New
Chorus
“We thank you, our God, for all you have done.
All things are new by the rule of your Son.
The fullness of our heart overflows in our song;
All glory and honor and praise to you belong.”

WAS - Song 134: See Yourself When All Is New
Chorus
“Jehovah our God, how well you have done!
All things are new by the rule of your Son.
The fullness of our heart overflows in our song;
All glory and honor and praise to you belong.”

It must be the work of a secret apostate @ bethel 😂

Maybe it is a trend, down slowly enough to catch most jws off guard. It's not the first time the WTS has sanitized itself to be more acceptable to secular authorities.

New name for jws coming up?

Why didn't they do

"Thank you, Jehovah, for all you have done"

I can see how "how well you have done!!"

Sounds very patronizing though!

I heard a few recent prayers, too, that kept giving so much glory and praise to the Governing Body.

Really it's quite sickening...The elders go ON AND ON AND ON thanking the GLORIOUS ONES, the govbod, with a quick mention of God at the end. Anyone else notice that change recently??

Now that is interesting!

There is no logical reason why they would REMOVE the name...

"We thank you our God..."

Maybe they knew they couldn't get away with "We thank you, our Money, for all you have done"

Well, now you're saying...I always thought that becoming the "Christian Congregation of Jehovah's witnesses" was such an attempt to become more acceptable.

Shame on WT don't they know it makes Jehovah sad when he is taken out of a song.

When Jehovah is taken out of a song it takes the song out of Jehovah 😣.

She should have gone to Spanish! We don't have the New "new songbook" (grey).

We sing from the old "new songbook". (Yes, the one that had the possibly obscene drawing on the back).
