heard from the platform: "not all rap music is bad"
by Lonestar13 injust last night i was thinking about the numerous talks, assembly parts and wt articles that repeatedly denounced such "debasing music" such as "rap" and "heavy metal".
remember those?
seems like every week during the 80's that phrase made its way into a public talk or wt study.

The "deeper things"...
by Lonestar13 inas much emphasis is placed on study and research has anyone noticed that you if you engage a dub in a conversation about the deeper things of the bible (not the wt), that you will end up doing most of the talking?
i made a personal decision to read more books, magazines etc, (of a secular, historical nature) becuase i do not wish to be that way.
unfortunately i found that within the dubs i had no one to talk to.
