Of all my years as a Witness,
the times were not always good.
Too many mistakes were being made,
the brothers not doing what they should.
As I look back now,
there are times, I can recall,
when I did not even look forward,
to going to the Kingdom Hall.
The brothers showed no love.
They didn't seem to care.
The elders were unyielding,
demanding and unfair.
Meetings were dull and boring,
field service was a chore.
There wasn't much of a "Pioneer Spirit",
while going from door to door.
It would not get any better,
as I hoped it would.
I knew the day was coming,
when I would leave Jehovah's house for good.
But happily, it's so different now,
Jehovah has been so kind.
He has allowed me
a wonderful congregation to find.
The spirit is so strong here.
The brothers really care.
I couldn't be more happy,
if I were anywhere!
Life in Jehovah's ! organization,
is just as I would dream,
but don't get me wrong,
things are not as they would seem.
You see, I'm part of the same congregation,
And I go to the same Kingdom Hall.
I fellowship with the same brothers and sisters,
Same elder body and all.
No the changes that were made
Are not as they seem,
For all the changes made
Were changes made in ME.
Now I love the whole brotherhood.
No other one in the world to find.
Instead of being critical,
I try to be loving, forgiving and kind.
I realize now, we are all imperfect,
And it is so plain to see.
While I was learning to put up with my brothers,
They were putting up with ME!
We are all part of Jehovah's one flock,
And that's where I want to be.
Why, if my brothers are good enough for Jehovah,
Then they're good enough for me.

Surullinen runo, joka ylistää kritiikittömyyttä ja itseindoktrinaatiota :(
