A JW woman just chased her son away from her shop, just because the dude potted to Anglican after being a hardcore and corrosive JW since his birth.
I have discussed few things with the guy concerning the Bible, but he remained adamant until he read the bible with open mind and the holy spirit spoke to his heart.I Now pity the woman cos she is suffering alone now. The dude came to help his mum with all his energetic blood and business sense. but the mum valued the religion more than her blood (his son)

apostasy threaten to contaminate
you spiritually, cut them away
quickly! (Compare Matthew 5:29,

elders." Watchtower 1989 Oct 1
p.18
this is the reason the woman chased away her son, he read the bible was full of doubt concerning their teachings, then he left

And you think that by calling me names, and quoting the Scriptures, you have achieved anything? Or it will make me lose God's favour?


Apostasy is leaving the teachings of christ. The organization of JW know this, and so they had to define apostasy they own way. The org of JW by straying from the teachings of christ, giving their own interpretation and understanding of Jesus' words, they become an apostate organisation.

That is what makes them apostate. Just like the nation of Israel strayed from the laws and teachings of Jehovah, so with the jw org. But they have become too haughty and proud that they will not admit it, those that discovers these are hunted and 'killed' in a sense.

Some JW's do listen to secular songs while some do not. it is a matter of personal preference. we listen to our own "gospel" songs and do not listen to other churches gospel songs because the contents of those songs do contains doctrines that we Jehovah's witnesses don't believe in such as Christmas, trinity, hellfire, immortality of the soul, birthday, calling Jesus God among others.
Even a Christian Jehovah witness who listen to secular songs also have to be selective as some songs may encourage or "hype" immorality, violence or spiritism. take for example I deleted a song by olamide ft lil Kesh ft phyno on my phone some couple of years back. the "ladi" song.
for more about JW check www.jw.org buh OP those pictures at the fore of this post shows how degraded your brains are. don't try tanish the image of Jehovah's witnesses, try and be reasonable unless you wanna incure God's wrath! Peace!

I am a JW and the op is right. We play secular songs but not all. The ones with debasing lyrics or immoral contents are not allowed. But not all songs are bad. Not all secular songs have bad and immoral lyrics. I play lots of Adele, Brymo, 2face and others. Am very selective.

But I don't play any single so called Christian music cos I've found that most of them have misleading lines. How can you start a song by praising God and then next line you r worshiping Jesus. For example a church here in sango was singing a song. It said.... Adonai I worship you, son of God you r so good. Now how can I sing that. They make it look like Jesus and God are equal. Jehovah is Adonai and Jesus is his son. Two different persons with a long lasting relationship. Well that's for another day.

So bottom line is that church songs carry doctrines not found in the Bible. Like trinity, helfire , everyone going to heaven and the likes. They aren't in the Bible. So I can't sing what's not true.

I hope yall got it.

Secular music that are simple, speaking of life realities,love...so on...
Sanmight85:
There is no beating about the bush. How does the OP know or say what he really doesn't know? Hasty generalization is a big problem of the OP. Here is no medium to answer your questions. If you are serious about an answer, kindly please visit jw.org or ask directly one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Are we before your 'court'? This topic has allowed a lot of uncultured individuals to be spilling venom out of nothing all because of their hatred for JW. Never still forget that like I said, we are no part of the world. Jesus said' If you are part of the world, the world would be fond of you. But now that you are no part of the world, the world hates you.' So continue the language of hatred. It's nothing new. But you can't stop us for this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth as a witness to all the nations and then the end will COME( Matthew 24:14).


The following answers from fellow JW members who are not hypocrites like you tells it all. I will not post whatever I have not observed. Quit hypocracy. I plead with everyone to read through some of the argument shared by fellow JW members on this very thread to see where this observation comes from not not just a mere say.

Thanks

feldido:
Lemme go straight to the point;
1.Listening or playing music is a personal decision, but then you should mind what you listen to, are the lyrics glorifying immorality, violence or use vulgar words?
2. Most 'Gospel' music portrays Jesus as God, teach about Trinity, immortality of the soul etc, which are totally against what we believe in.

enambobo:
JWs actually listen to secular music but not all. We are usually choosy in our choices of entertainment because we serve a holy and clean God who will not permit any form of dirty sayings from his servants in the name of entertainment. For such reasons we listen to wholesome secular musics only.

Regarding Gospel music, we very well do but not what is obtainable outside in the secular world. We have our own very encouraging and highly inspiring gospel with words that are in line with our believes as found in God's word the bible.
Therefore it's a falacy to say that JWs do not listen to gospel musics.
Biodunkuye:
Op that's a very good question.yes I have noticed it too,even during my sec school days,most of the jw pple I knew don't sing praise and worship songs sang during assembly, instead they keep quiet.they rather listen secular music than gospel music.i think it's becos most of the gospel musicians are not members of jw,so they don't see them as thier member, the songs are not ordained by the jw body and they have thier own songs sang in Church.i just think it's not a part of Jehovah's witness doctrines.
Suregod:
100% truth. Got couple of JW as friends,they will rather listen to circular music than listening to any Gospel music. The same goes the preaching,they don't listen to any other preaching except theirs.

Do me a favour, u want you to zero your mind, that is make your believe neutral, forget whatever the elders and leaders has told you. Pick up a Bible ( king James or good news) and read for yourself.
Even your explanation of the apostate is what the leader instructed. Do something with open mind, and the spirit of God will speak to your heart, do not believe what I said, but try and forget what they taught you all long and allow God to minister to you, hope they won't find out if you try and do this privately on your own

you don't wanna listen to reasoning, this is why people perish, but it shall not be so with you, cos Jesus Christ came that we might have life to its fullness.

Some of the things you mentioned that forbid you from listening to gospel lyrics are not correct (though it isn't a must to listen to a particular song), Your guys reject the worship of Christ even when it litters all over the bible. you mean to tell me that they are not in your bible? if yes, then those were interpreted by jw org to suit theirs teachings. let me give you one example ;

The account you quoted is good but the translation is misleading. Translating the Greek word that occurred there " worship" is against other part of the scripture where Jesus stated that ONLY his father should be worshipped. See Luke 4:8

NWT used "obeisance" there.

You are entitled to your opinion. However, I can also say the same thing to you. Call you false, say you don't draw people to Christ etc.

But if you are sure of your belief, bring it to the table, raise a topic and let's see who's beliefs are bible based.
