onos217:Jw's do not force any to listen to the Bible's message We respect everyone's stand when it comes to matters concerning the Bible. We believe that if one does not listen today he or she may do so sometime in future So you can tell the man you aint interested and save him the stress of 'worrying' you. 2 Likes |

azaino: Very true. I agree completely with everything you said. I'm a JW, but an awaken jw. I no longer believe all the things the teaches. At least, I now believe only what the Bible says, but a JW is expected to believe, not what the Bible says but as interpreted by their leaders. I know it is so disheartening, but true. I was on preaching once, and someone I was preaching to asked me exactly the same question. Why we play all sort of musics but Gospel. I didn't remember answering him something good. But it got me thinking, I even pose same question to my brother. I couldn't help but agree that it was hypocritical. JW are cult. JWs themselves wouldn't agree to these, because they don't know what cult means. Most people think for cult as some gun/machete carry killers, but in the case of religion, it not so. To know more what makes JWs cult, please read this article http://jwfacts.com/watchtower/fear-cult-mind-control.php 2 Likes 1 Share |

iamloyalty: What has the OP said or reveal that has led to such conclusions from you? I remember very clearly, I was asked same question by a householder while I was preaching. You know one thing that detest me about being a JW? Hypocrisy. Hypocrisy of JWs. It comes down from the top to bottom. Right from the legal department, GB till the rank and files. If you are examined very well, you may be living in sin, while carrying preaching bags every Saturday, but you are here to throw the first stone. Look at how easy it was for you to call him names, without dealing with the question or giving a biblical response. If it were another religion that was criticised, the JWs on this forum will be the first to throw stones, but they hate their way of worship being criticised. It scares them to the core. A typical example of the hypocrisy is when the Jw legal department decides to put transcript of the court case of the Russian ban on their legal section of the website (they have been running that story for quite some times now) but no mention of the series of child abuse cases going on in different countries of the world, no mention of Australian Royal commission inquiry, no mention of same inquiry in London or USA. No mention of the Just settled court case in US where watchtower had to pay millions of dollars in compensation. Such hypocrisy is nothing short of same displayed by the pharisee of Jesus' day. 2 Likes |

todaynewsreview: The wtinesse you would say do not play "christian records" but not that they prefer secular music's to it. Yes, many play secular music's, but none would play "gospel music". The choice of secular music any witness would play is personal. No one will judge anyone for his choice (assuming the lyrics are wholesome). Unfortunately though, some do not have a choice. They ve played anything that comes there way in as much as it sounds good to there ear. This is wrong. That isn't the teaching we receive. 1 Like |

JMAN05: It's still doesn't answer the question that a mere hearing of any song that says Jesus or praise God or anything that has to do with Bible, they immediately change the song or channel but can and will listen to music that glorifies sex, immorality, drugs etc without thinking twice. And mind you, even if the Gospel music doesnt contain trinity, immorality of the soul, hellfire etc. 1 Like |

rottennaija: Yap, no witness would play "gospel songs" even if it doesn't mention trinity. And it is quite hard to sing a "gospel song" without including any false teaching. However, we avoid interfaith in all its ways. There are no two faiths, but one. Eph 4:4,5. I must admit that many witnesses have gone far with secular musics. Many don't scrutinize lyrics. They are anything-goes. This however isn't the teaching we receive. There is however, a big difference between secular music and the so called gospel musics. 1 Like |

JMAN05: And what exactly are these false teaching? Because I can mention as many false teaching in the jw org as I know. I was reading an article about the memorial, by Raymond Frank, a former governing body member. In his books, Crisis of conscience and in search of christian freedom, I have never seen those expressions before. He actually was responding to an mail sent by someone about memorial and how it can be celebrated. At some point in the mail, he used the words, "following Jesus’ crucifixion" , and I asked myself, why did he go back to believe in cross? Not stake? Because he later knew that cross is actually supported biblically. Read more at http://www.jwstruggle.com/2013/03/ray-franz-comments-on-the-memorial/ What I am basically saying is, you may believe that what you know is true. If indeed it is true, it should stand the test of scrutiny. By all means then, examine your believes, put it into the test. Just like you asked people you preach to, to do, you likewise do same. You can never tell how much impact it will have in your life 1 Like |

Jascon4: I was born and brought up in what you called the 'truth'. After I started researchjng these 'truth', they fell like Park of cards. So, it may be truth to you, but not to me that knows that there is nothing true about it. And by the way, remember. Gods word says, Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. It didn't say the organisation is. But the organisation claiming to be the "truth" has now turned itself into a second mediator, pushing the role of Jesus and the one and true mediator into the background. So think again before calling the organisation the "truth" 1 Like |

iamloyalty:Do me a favour, u want you to zero your mind, that is make your believe neutral, forget whatever the elders and leaders has told you. Pick up a Bible ( king James or good news) and read for yourself. Even your explanation of the apostate is what the leader instructed. Do something with open mind, and the spirit of God will speak to your heart, do not believe what I said, but try and forget what they taught you all long and allow God to minister to you, hope they won't find out if you try and do this privately on your own ![]() 1 Like |
