mrsjones5, I would disagree with you slightly. Gospel music (much of which I like) would be considered from false religion and therefore apostate, even if the lyrics did not contradict JW teaching. Other types of music like R&B and good ole Rock and Roll are simply worldly and depending on the lyrics perhaps demonic (demonic is a word that says it all...)
Ok, but what if this music isn't affiliated with any religious group? Most of what I have is music that you can listen to on the radio. (Not all of it, but ususally the main song could be listened to on the radio.) Is it still considered apostate? Like you said, even if the lyrics do not contradict JW teaching, isn't this kind of music better than the so called "demonic" music?
