... or singing in our homes!  Since Satan long ago lost his mind, I wouldn't be surprised to  hear secret Police arrest Witness in the shower for humming banned biblical song. "Couple arrested in their bedroom  for illegal praying" .... nothing would surprise me now....

First, they must catch them in the act.

 

Then, an investigation: "Who are you praying to?"

 

 Answer: "The One who can hear us, Jehovah".

 

Response: "Prayers to that one are against the law !  Now you must be punished" .

 

Answer: "Well, if we are to be punished, then we may as well continue praying".

"Justice and truth have been pushed aside by men

The name of the Jehovah the wicked seek to ban

These must be restored to their places

By Christians with bold beaming faces...."

No, they don't need it at all.

Actually they need nothing except their will.

“God and his Kingdom are mocked and pushed aside;
His great name is slandered, its holiness denied.
Let’s share in its sanctification,
And declare it to ev’ry tribe and nation.”

Just for singing? That is so sad.
