It's not new, I would not advertise it here, you people are like trolls and not roleplayers...worst idea possible.
I was seriously asking.

I was expecting the very few religious ones here to answer, instead of the opposistional ones..... I guess that was a next to none chance though.
Well I had to know....
I don't want to just ban them, that'd be power abuse on my part as an admin....especially after I said I hoped they'd stay. And others wouldn't like that..because we WANT members, not more chased off. But at the same time.....
Sorry for posting this if it's not allowed.
But I need to know. If an ex-jw joins a site I admin/help run with a team. One I pay for. Is that interacting with an apostate? I can't just kick them off because of that....the forum needs members. But at the same time....I don't want to associate with someone I'm not supposed to on my own site.
This place doesn't count because I'm just a member. But that site I run.....

A witness just told me it is true. So you didn't make it up?
just wondering...they ssay too stay away from babylon the great and everything about her.
what about music from bands that claim they're "christian?
" some i can kinda see if they have god in the lyrics, but others just claim it and the songs don't have it in the lyrics.. everyone interprets music differently, don't they?
Some "Christian," songs are also kinda uplifting...even if the believe is false. Some are good enough to be JW songs. Like other than Shattered, my current favorite one, that helps in thoughts.

......So it was fake?

Everyone interprets music differently, don't they? Just because the song is meant to be christian doesn't mean everyone see's it as that, music is a thing for the mind and can be seen different by every person, it can motivate, depress, or relate. Lyrics have more than just one "set in stone," meaning after all....I see fights over songs on YT a lot, with christians trying to say it's a religious song, and others saying they don't see that meaning.
I mean bands like RED, Sum41, Casting Crowns (Okay this one does say god in the lyrics..but the songs are so pretty...), Kutless, Lifehouse, Fireflight, Superchick, and many more. Including my all time favorite "Trading Yesterday/Age of Information/David Hodges (Whatever he's going by now.)"
Is it taking part in BTG to listen to it if you interpret it differently?
A few examples.

The first two can be interepreted as about god, but to others can be about life, find yourself, or emo..
The third one at first thought "Okay changing for god." But can also be interpreted as regret for the things of the past...in other senses...
My final example. My all time favorite song forever. Theme song, heh.
Trading Yesterday
David Hodges wrote for churches and was a total Christendom/Christian, so all his music is supposedly christian. And at first listen this song is of course Christian, in every lyric.
But to emo or depressed, you can interperet deeper and see it as far more than that, the lyrics haunt and make you want to scream and shout to the world....but not in Christian interpretation. Especially the chorus...

So is listening to that taking part, or is it okay...?
... I don't know, just freak out in general? I can't help it >.< I am a hypochondriac with severe anxiety. In other words anything that can possibly kill you...sets it off.
Because if it's real, then it's real and I can freak out and get grandma to call someone and call anyone I know to ask...but I'd rather know if it's made-up before resorting to that...
