Your Cong = Which Songs or Band were "Demonic?" Did you toss albums? (page 2)

Never threw away any music. They seemed obsessed with it. I remember them coming out with the ban on death metal and rap.

When I was a teen they had a part on the DC about music that debases. I had every album they mentioned.

in the congregatin I attended? only kingdom melodies were acceptable... and perhaps a little Liberace or '40s music.. wonder why?

I wonder how they looked upon 40s music in the 40s. 50s music in the 50s. 60s music in the 60s. Is Beatles ok now? I bet it was not ok back then...
Maybe Iron Maiden will be perfectly ok in 30 years or so?

My mom burned my Beatle's records in the back yard. "Come Together" was about screwing/fornication. In the '80's she found a Mazarati album under my bed and broke it into pieces. She said the cover was demonized.

"Touch Me" by the Doors was a huge NO NO. Steppenwolf? Burned them all! "Black Sabbath"???? My fave!!! What do you think??? DEMONS are in the house now.

When I poined out that her precious Tom Jones' album and her idol Dusty Springfield's had more sexual content than all of my Beatles records, she had a tantrum, took a steak knife, and scratched out all the offending songs on her albums. "Cause, ya know, I was stumbled! hehe

The group WASP was a no-no in our congo. Some idiot brother said it stood fro We Are Sexual Perverts. Most intelligent people I know, understand it to be an acronym for White Anglo Saxon Protestant

Using this principle of substitution, replacing the bad and destructive with the good and wholesome can change social gatherings from being threats to one’s virtue to being upbuilding occasions. Often there is much eating and drinking, which tend to encourage one to become less discreet. Substitute noisy "jazz" and rock ’n’ roll music with ‘good music,’ not necessarily sacred or classical, but there is an abundance of fine entertainment in the fields of folk, light classic and semi-popular music. The same applies to dancing. Substitute dancing that tends to arouse the passions with dances that are wholesome, joyous and innocent.

So what is simi-popular?

My stepdad used to go thru my CDs every month, and i would just go out and buy them again. Ozzy was out of the question, even mentioned once in an awake, something along the lines of -even songs with the title "suicide solution".

my elder uncle tossed all his black sabbath and blue oyster cult, yet would still play ozzy on his guitar... jacked up double standard.

I tossed a few when I was studying to become baptized. Megadeth, Poison, Queensryche, and some others I forget. Oh Jakkal(?) the one that did the chainsaw song.

I'm a lumberjack now baby! *chainsaw* rrr-RRRR-rrrRR-rrr-rrrr!

I was listening to Beck once and my mom said it was demonic.

Another time one of my friends (not really a friend, but my age group) in the hall told me that my copy of Transmission by the Tea Party was demonized because his cousin once had the same album and threw it out the window in a pang of jw guilt, but when he went outside the shattered CD had allegedly pieced itself back together.

There was also a circuit assembly once where the C.O. (brother Charland, if any of you know him) specifically mentioned a number of groups by name with a disgusted look on his face. Some of these included Santana, Led Zeppelin, and a few other classic rock groups under the wonky premise that since the music had been composed with drug consumption in mind you were either a drug user yourself or you condoned it by your listening to it.

My dad went and cleaned out his record collection after that but he's since re-acquired most of them in CD form.

I never lost one album on the occasional purges. And I was into music that no one really knew that much about in my area. They would at times throw a fit about the Stones ("Let's Spend The Night Together" was mentioned in a mag), But they had no clue about The Mothers of Invention. So I was cool.
