Apostasy is leaving the teachings of christ. The organization of JW know this, and so they had to define apostasy they own way. The org of JW by straying from the teachings of christ, giving their own interpretation and understanding of Jesus' words, they become an apostate organisation. That is what makes them apostate. Just like the nation of Israel strayed from the laws and teachings of Jehovah, so with the jw org.

Drhauwal: Some JW's do listen to secular songs while some do not. it is a matter of personal preference. we listen to our own "gospel" songs and do not listen to other churches gospel songs because the contents of those songs do contains doctrines that we Jehovah's witnesses don't believe in such as Christmas, trinity, hellfire, immortality of the soul, birthday, calling Jesus God among others. Even a Christian Jehovah witness who listen to secular songs also have to be selective as some songs may encourage or "hype" immorality, violence or spiritism. take for example I deleted a song by olamide ft lil Kesh ft phyno on my phone some couple of years back. the "ladi" song. for more about JW check www.jw.org buh OP those pictures at the fore of this post shows how degraded your brains are. don't try tanish the image of Jehovah's witnesses, try and be reasonable unless you wanna incure God's wrath!

bizie: I am a JW and the op is right. We play secular songs but not all. The ones with debasing lyrics or immoral contents are not allowed. But not all songs are bad. Not all secular songs have bad and immoral lyrics. I play lots of Adele, Brymo, 2face and others. Am very selective.
But I don't play any single so called Christian music cos I've found that most of them have misleading lines. How can you start a song by praising God and then next line you r worshiping Jesus. For example a church here in sango was singing a song. It said.... Adonai I worship you, son of God you r so good. Now how can I sing that. They make it look like Jesus and God are equal. Jehovah is Adonai and Jesus is his son. Two different persons with a long lasting relationship. Well that's for another day.
So bottom line is that church songs carry doctrines not found in the Bible. Like trinity, helfire , everyone going to heaven and the likes. They aren't in the Bible. So I can't sing what's not true.

Wanna knw more about the witnesses visit [url]jw.org[/url] enambobo: JWs actually listen to secular music but not all. We are usually choosy in our choices of entertainment because we serve a holy and clean God who will not permit any form of dirty sayings from his servants in the name of entertainment. For such reasons we listen to wholesome secular musics only.
Regarding Gospel music, we very well do but not what is obtainable outside in the secular world. We have our own very encouraging and highly inspiring gospel with words that are in line with our believes as found in God's word the bible. Therefore it's a falacy to say that JWs do not listen to gospel musics. Biodunkuye: Op that's a very good question.yes I have noticed it too,even during my sec school days,most of the jw pple I knew don't sing praise and worship songs sang during assembly, instead they keep quiet.they rather listen secular music than gospel music.i think it's becos most of the gospel musicians are not members of jw,so they don't see them as thier member, the songs are not ordained by the jw body and they have thier own songs sang in Church.i just think it's not a part of Jehovah's witness doctrines. Suregod: 100% truth. Got couple of JW as friends,they will rather listen to circular music than listening to any Gospel music. The same goes the preaching,they don't listen to any other preaching except theirs. Suregod: The op is 100% correct! They don't! My cousins r JW,and I also have couple of JW friends too.
