Amateur Poetry

[Jeshurun]

I've had this poem and a few others that I keep on file that I wrote back in the early nineties, while I was attending a congregation where I used to live. I handed many copies out to the friends. This infuriated the P.O., who looked at me with steely eyes from the moment I met him, when I told him I was inactive for 16 years.

Keep in mind that when I wrote this I knew nothing about the Watchtower's corruption, so please try to get past the faithful slave and 1914 stuff! The entire thing was directed at Christendom, being that I took it from a dirge in Deuteronomy that blows the lid off their Luciferian/Christian hybrid religion.

Yes, way back then I loved the name Jeshurun, in fact it was my AOL screen name at the time, therefore, it's title.

My goodness, Lou!, Ive only ever been inspired to write poems about Girls, and then only 3 or 4 verses, cant say they where all impressed either, but surely Jehovah can see the depth of the emotion you feel towards him in that you go to so much heart felt effort, may he allways bless you.

Can you put it to music? :-)

Yes Lou, you have very deep thoughts about our God, and I am proud to say you are my brother in the Lord! Agape Bro.

Dear Lou,
Your poetry is beautiful! Some of the anointed wrote poetry during the early part of the 20th century and I enjoy reading their verses. May I share something from the Preservation book, 1932, p. 239? It is not our duty to urge others to serve Jehovah God, but rather to set before them the beauty of the Truth, and the privilege of serving God, and let them exercise their own desires in making a choice. If one does not of his own free will see that it is the greatest privilege one could have to serve Jehovah God, then he does not have the proper appreciation of God's Word and Name.
I am not a poet, but my son is. It is such a personal, intimate expression of a person's self. Don't give up on this form of expression. We all can use the encouragement. Please let me know if you would like some of the older society poems...

Thank you all so much!

Post it on up here, Dorcas! Would love to read it. Or if you would rather not then you are welcome to send a PM.

Here's another I wrote back then, since you liked the first one!

That’s beautiful Lou, maybe you and Watchman could put that together and make a video with his great pictures and your text written across them or something? Anyway I think they are good to be published some way. I am sure every one here wants to see more if you got any? This one so far is my favorite it is like going through the whole study book but going straight to the heart.

Really nice thoughts, Jeshurun, really put together nice. Conveys your love for God and Truth. Hope you don&#39;t mind, I printed them out.

I&#39;m honored Clay, thank you, just as long as its "anonymous"!

OK, so here&#39;s the last one. Maybe I&#39;ll try to write something that has application today, from our standpoint regarding the organization.
