Did you keep "satanic" LP's as a JW? (page 2)

Finally drew the line one day when someone happened by the house and saw a 'Santana' album and commented that the name was just too close to Satan and it made them uncomfortable. Telling them that it was a man's REAL name made no difference. After that, all music was kept out of sight and earshot.

I guess JWs can't be Buffalo Sabre's fans either, huh? They got a guy on the team with the last name Satan. Pronounced different but spelled the same. O hockey must be demonized. No more going to hockey games or *gasp* don't watch SportsCenter. They might show Sabre highligts. We wouldn't want to see "that name" on our TV screen.

My album collection was purged after a Circuit Assembly that highlighted the debauchery of the music of the time. Not my choice. Parents went through my collection and got rid of what seemed inappropriate to them. Course they kept their Sinatra records. I replaced the most fav of those albums as time went by. Looking back on it, it really was stupid. The whole backward masking thing reeked of illogical ramblings of hysterical paranoid zealots.

Glad you got a kick out of that! Made me laugh when he first told me about it too. On the whole his parents were pretty cool for dubs. They let the kids go to school dances, attend school functions and they even went to see R rated movies which my straight laced family found QUITE scandalous! hahaha. Gee wonder why I hung around their house so much?

Undercover, look up at my post. That song from my mother's generation was sung by none other than Frank Sinatra.

I started feeling a little guilty one day and took it upon myself to cut out one of the pictures from the RUSH album "Moving Pictures", I then told my father I did it and thought he would be overjoyed, but he really didn't seem to care, then I was pissed that I ruined a perfectly good album!

LOL, Blondie. I like Sinatra but nobody ever singled him out along with the music of my generation. My stuff got trashed while parents kept all the Rat Pack stuff and other music from that time. Like those guys were any more moral. Right.

I had that same Rush album. Parents took one look at the cover and out it went.

The music that was demonized from my generation is the music all the elders listen to because....they are my age. It is amazing how respectable the Beatles are now but when I was a teenager, that was the group the elders painted black from the platform.

So we(our generation, that is) have become our parents, LOL. Whatever the "oldie" station plays, that's okay. But this new devil music called heavy metal and rap is obviously demon inspired. Brittney, Christina and all the other little vixen singers are just tools of Satan. We should stay clear, LOL. Bands with weird names should be avoided. Who knows what demon helped inspire someone to come up with the name Audioslave.

When I was about 9 or 10, I had my JW Aunt and Uncle buy me a KISS Album, my Aunt & Uncle are both still JW's, she's about 56-57, and she likes Heavy Metal. My Dad destroyed the Kiss Album, and several tapes and albums later, from Ozzie, Black Sabbath, AC/DC etc. I started to hide it better, god forbid they ever had found my King Diamond Tape. It was bad enough when they found my books on witchcraft.

Funny, I managed to be able to keep any and all albums without any threats yet my older brother was endlessly badgered about pretty much his entire collection. I guess I wasn't worth trying to "save" (read: lucky!) How in the hell Zeppelin's "Houses of the Holy" managed to survive intact is beyond me. I still can't believe that album cover even got released.

My poor brother though...he got SO much flack from SO many witnesses that he finally buckled under the pressure and in a moment of insanity(?) he and several friends headed for Grapevine lake with just about his entire collection. Um, can you say frisbee practice? ....into the lake! Bye Alice...See ya Mick...So Long Pete (Who's Next?) Didn't take too long to get the collection rolling again after the realization hit of what had happened.

I do remember having a garage sale one time and several jw's were going through the albums
I had out. Lots of head shaking and grunting...(must have been the "houses" one).

Ok, that's enough for now :)
