Sing to the Lord!
Ephesians 5:19 Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jehovah's Witnesses have a songbook "Sing Praises to Jehovah". A song is sung before and after each meeting and also during the assemblies and conventions. Although an exception to this is the Book Study meeting. It's unclear to me why no 'praising' with songs are given there.
There are 225 songs in their book, but only 7 songs are decidedly focused on Jesus Christ. Even sadder, they don't sing to Jesus, just about Jesus.
In Revelations 5, there is an engaging and dynamic song glorifying and worshiping the Lamb.
Perhaps later I'll discuss this in greater detail, but I would like to share one piece of music which I found lyrically more moving than any of the more than two-hundred the Watchtower has produced.
Enjoy!

Nice blog, it is so obvious to me and other former JWs how wrong and mislead JWs are. They are always bending and cut and pasting scipture to fit their doctrine, evidence of this is every time they change their doctrine they use scripture, even when they are flip flopping back and forth on the same issue.
Yes, it is scriptures taken out of context and disfigured to fit their preconceived theology. In fact, their arguments are flimsy, but the hold and control the WT has over these lost souls is what is damaging.
Thank you, keep up your blog!
