  • Problem with music.

    Hi
    I have this problem and I was wondering about ur opinions about it. My brother, 15, is listening to this anti-christ bands and started buying their CDs. I got nothing against music, but I'm concerned about him. I know that music has a certain effect and what scares me the most is that he started listening at 13. I thought he'll get over it but he didn't. Everytime I bring up the subject he gets all mad and throws things at me. so what should I do?

    Thru the sudden light
    Thru the room
    A ghost preceeds us
    A shadow follows us
    And each time we stop
    We fall"

    I'd be happy to change his mind, but I'm doubting his body will survive. Do you wanna risk loosing a brother?


    just kidding



    Watch him closely and make sure he just listens to the music. Thats all you can do without resorting to violence.

      But, That's the problem I don't know what's going on inside him. He goes out with his friends and comes home late. I think he's gone far enough, he needs to lighten up a little when it comes to music, it already cozed trouble in school.

        then I say he needs a good christian beating.


        the fear of God needs to be put in him, and a 2 by 4 worked for me.

          He is quite religious, I know that he's not totaly into it. I'm just afraid that the music will change him.

            nahhhhhh

            music preferences change over time especially at that age. Just don't let him get too deep into it, like attending rituals and gatherings.

              Talk to him about the music. I mean, discussion, not objections against the whole messages of the music he's listenning to. Make him talk about what he's thinking about the lyrics.
              Coz listenning to music is more often passive. He may appreciate a lot the music and maybe he has never cared about the lyrics.
              Discussions would transform this passivity into an activity and so, a critical sense.

              Music at this age is more a means of rebellion, in order to be different. It does go well with the puberty, when everyone tries to find out an identity.

              I think if you go against this music, he'll go against you, and then discussions would be very hard. Sollicitate his critical sense.

                    jenny, what are some of these bands names ?

                    is it satanic bands ? or just music that is not christian in general ?
