Mike, first of all you are an idiot. i love how you think that how many shows you have seen determines how much you know about music. whatever happened to actually listening to music (not just goin...
lol i may be an idiot, but in this instance, i am a CORREECT idiot, and you... are just a poor pathetic misguided musically challenged CHILD. I have never ONCE just gone to a show to dance or mo...
mosh pits of the shows i go to arent like what you are thinking of... the people in there bounce around and bump into each other, and nobody is really trying to hurt anyone... now a hardcore sh...
i really hope that you don't reason with people like this in the ministry, because i'm pretty sure insulting & bashing someones thoughts or opinions is NOT the way to get through to them. "it's not what christians should be listening to" ???????? i don't think you have made an ounce of difference on your side of the argument.
lastly, how do you feel about punk bands that cover old tunes: ie: brown eyed girl, 99 red baloons, just like heaven. do these songs become "unchristian" because they are sung faster & with a heavier edge??
one of my biggest pet peeves is when you discuss a conscience matter with someone and they state their side of the issue as fact. it's so gratifying to then look something up in the WT library and see that it is in fact a conscience matter. ie: christian brothers & sisters having an operation to become sterile. (thought i'd try to round up a new controversy.) haha
i guess this is one of those things that the saying "JW's never discuss 2 things, movies they watch, and how they count their time" applies. i think we should add..."and what music we listen to".
You may be onto something.
I think the goal was to get a rise out of some people. I succeeded.

No, I don't insult people in the ministry. If you're insulted then you are just being silly anyway. You can rip right back at me. It doesn't bother me. Don't hold back, Mike doesn't, that's why he's somewhat cool. Whoops...did I say that out loud?
You shouldn't be proud of getting a rise out of people who are defending their spirituality. I mean, Mike and I were joking around, but you brought in service to Jehovah, and that's not cool.
Obviously you are a huge fan of this music which is why you are getting perturbed.
What are you, 12 years old?
No, but you're the one getting mad, not me. Most of these posts I said this was my opinion. Maybe the one you are referring to I should have stated the same.
