"Make the truth your own

shun the world leave it alone

if your body members you control

you make sure that the truth is your own"

song lyrics that gives me the creep (how come I still remember them)

You know, those lyrics mean only one thing:

"Accept all the crap we teach and believe it in your heart."

Sacolton I know!

All part of the brainwashing!!!

By putting God first, and Him actively praising

This world and its friendship you'll lose

To those without faith, it is truly amazing

That His righteous ways you did then choose

Make the Truth your own

Shun the world, leave it alone ...

Sylvia

if your body members you control.... it was the GB and Elders who tried to control them and us by ruling our lifes in every respect!

 CUT IT OUT!!!! All of you, I'm going to have freaking tune stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Now where's Paraniod on my Ipod that's catchy enough to get rid the JW earworm.

"if your body members you control"

So that's where Prince got the idea for his song!

Gee Sylvia!!!! hahaha

(but that used to be my favourite)

Highdose, true. I wonder if they can control their body members? (guess not)

Sorry Cantleave

Sixofnine, guess it's not impossible!

Mine, too.

I'm trying to think of the stanza that ends in, "For God is your Helper and Friend"

Sylvia

The world and its friendship you'll loose 

To those without faith it is truly amazing 

But in the truth there is no love that is why it is amazing. 

Oh how some of their songs hurt.

The truth is the best way of living?  For starters, you waste all that time knocking on doors and going to boasting sessions (most of which are either redundant or intentionally designed to confuse).  You miss out on fitting in, and more so when you have to say "Thank you, have a nice day" every time someone says "Merry Christmas" to you.  You cannot enjoy the Christmas decorations or music--another thing that p***es a lot of people off.  Not to mention the stagnant crap jobs, not retiring, and having to ruin others' lives (including those of children).

From the brand new songbook :No.123

"God gives us men who have earned our trust

Men who are loyal and true

They show concern for his precuious flock

Love them for all that they do"

I learned this song, JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL, when we used to have morning devotionals at school.

Here's a little background information on its composer.  Charles Wesley and his brother, John, were co-founders of the Methodist Church, I believe.

Contrast it with the Kingdom Melodies!

 

Mrs. Mary Hoo­ver, of Belle­fonte, Penn­syl­van­ia, whose grand­mo­ther was the her­o­ine of the sto­ry, has re­lat­ed to her pas­tor this fam­i­ly tra­di­tion: Charles Wesley was preach­ing in the fields of the par­ish of Killy­leagh, Coun­ty Down, Ire­land, when he was at­tacked by men who did not ap­prove of his doc­trines. He sought re­fuge in a house lo­cat­ed on what was known as the Is­land Barn Farm. The far­mer’s wife, Jane Low­rie Moore, told him to hide in the milk­house, down in the gar­den. Soon the mob came and de­mand­ed the fu­gi­tive. She tried to qui­et them by of­fer­ing them re­fresh­ments. Go­ing down to the milk­house, she di­rect­ed Mr. Wesley to get through the rear win­dow and hide un­der the hedge, by which ran a lit­tle brook. In that hid­ing-place, with the cries of his pur­su­ers all about him, he wrote this im­mor­tal hymn. De­scend­ants of Mrs. Moore still live in the house, which is much the same as it was in Wes­ley’s time.

Thanks SylBeautiful

Bluesbrother, OMG!!! Is the song called "Worship the elders"???

I sometimes still sing it accidentally

That is truly a despicable song...and wreaks of culttalk.

anyone remember the song that started " dark days are here",,,,,,,,, it began very deep and sombre then progressed into a fast paced jingle we used to call it the Psycho song

I remember that one well!  Uggh!

SOunds like one of their public talks.

The 2 songs I used to like were Chrildren-Precious Gifts from God (although now I realize thta song is a song about brainwashing children)- 'We can reach their hearts, if we early start...."

And "We Must Assist those Who are Weak"

I hated Theocracy Increase
