I have to say, thank Jehovah for allowing this wicked system of things to last long enough for mankind to invent the Walkman twenty years ago, and most recently, MP3 players, thereby ensuring privacy when listening to music the WT doesn't approve of. On one hand I wouldn't argue that some rap music, some metal, some punk, some R&B, some Soul, etc., have questionable content for a Christian. I agree with the analogy that if you don't participate in the questionable behavior as spoken of by various rappers and bands, then how do you justify listening to it? The Devil's Advocate side of me however can't help but notice that the same people who dislike the content in rap music, love watching Law & Order, or CIS. My own mother would toss my rap CDs in the rubbish, and then sit down and do what she loves best other than pioneering. That being crime based TV shows which she doesn't even call by the correct title. She'll say, "It's time to watch Jessica!!!!", in other words, Murder She Wrote. Or she'll go, "It's time to watch Jack kick some butt!!!!", in other words Law & Order. She loves reruns of that skank with the irritating voice in the mini skirts, Fran or somebody. My brother in law, aww man, he'll never listen to rap music in a million years, but violent action movies.......loves em!!
Applying that same magnifying glass upon hypocritics and flunkies, it's fascinating how the WT loves ranting and raving about the violent entertainment of the world, meanwhile they're printing literature that encourages hating former JWs, and barely stops short of giving the stamp of approval for JWs to go out and kill former JWs. To satisfy the blood lust they're fostering through the literature, they provide so called encouragement and reassurance telling their pew to just wait on Jehovah who's soon going destroy all nonJWs in the most violent of ways possible, but keep in mind that when He does this, he'll be keeping His promise of not doing so via Flood waters again. He might open up the earth like a huge vagina and swallow Korah-esque apostates, or he might give Ministerial Servants the ok to hunt down couples who didn't marry only in the Lord, and have them drive spears through those couples during their intimacy just like Phinehas. Maybe JAh will bless children with spirit annointed slingshots just like a young David, and those children will be able to sling rocks at their teachers heads for not allowing them to do a book report based off of The Bible Teach book. Regardless of how its done, it's encouraging to know that it won't be via Flood like those wicked worldlies in Hollywood that made the film, 2012.
