I was just wondering if anyone remembers actually singing Hymn number 54 in the RED Redemption Hymnal (for the oldies), which became Hymn number 23 in the BLUE Assembly Hymn Book? If you don't have your Assembly Hymnal on hand this hymn is none other than the famous Christmas Carol "JOY TO THE WORLD"  ... hang on isn't GRC against Christmas???

I also can't remember ever singing 135 in the RED Redemption Hymnal / 79 in the BLUE Assembly Hymn Book - "HARK THE HERALD ANGEL SING"  ... mmmm ...  Just one more - 130 in the RED Redemption Hymnal / 80 in the BLUE Assembly Hymn Book - "OH, COME ALL YE FAITHFUL" ... but when I was in the GRC I was taught to hate Christmas carols and never to join in singing them???

But I do remember singing every year at the Christmas" camp 768 in the BLUE Assembly Hymn Book / this one wasn't in the RED Redemptiona Hymnal (but we sang it anyway) "GOD SAVE THE QUEEN" ... whats wrong with this picture???

y_no_m, 
    
               Your right and it must be very confusing to anyone new to the Cult let alone to the current followers  who  simply   ' just-get-over-it '  and follow as they are told to. There is logic to it thought and that is  ....  keep them in that 'Grey Area ' of confusion and say ......    " it's the way the Lord's people do things".  It is the way all religions 'do it '.
      
              Meanwhile,  we normal people get to enjoy this time of the year without prejudice, back-biting or looking over our shoulder. We have the good fortune to actually enjoy a 'Xmas Holiday' period for what-ever purpose we may desire, a time to enjoy Family spirit of giving and receiving. If I wish to praise it to God  .. I will, and if to the Queen .... I will, but more than likely, I will share it with the ones I love and by MY choice ,


    Seasons Greetings to all

Hi Y_no_m,
I remember one year (I think it was RCI, or was it RF) a pastor made a big point that Christmas Carols are sung in Revival and just to show that we do "Hark the Herald Angels" was chosen as the hymn. This was a first for me in Rev. There must have been a little nostalgia for Christmas Carols as there were big smiles and it was sung with great enthusiasm.  Some giggled their way through like naughty children getting away with something they shouldn't, but the pastor allowed it so it was OK.

The Christmas talk which followed was all about Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus in Bethlehem, the shepherds and the wise men following the star. It is after all scriptural.  However, in true Revival oppositional fashion the Carol was sung and the talk was given mid year (June or July).  December is the time the saints gather for isolation camp.
