Before I had my experience with god I used to listen to a lot of satanic music, behemoth, venom,rotting Christ etc etc..I've only just realised the negative effect that this music had on my mind and body a slow burning corruption I would say..as a metal head I'm discovering some great Christian rock/ metal bands as well as some knights Templar chants/music..the devil

My husband loves metal too and the words will breathe life or death into you. I'm so happy to hear you are seeing the benefits of life music.

I think I need to acknowledge you are understanding that the music itself brings about a bad spirit onto your spirit? Is that what you are finding out?

I love all kinds of music. I hate when a catchy tune has rotted lyrics (Blurred Lines for instance) and I'm forced to delete. I try to "cheat" and avoid lyrics when I can, but usually a line in a song catches my attention and I'm forced, once again, to make a decision to keep/delete. Recently someone who repeatedly persecuted/oppressed me and my family met a violent end. I kept listening to the same song over and over as I tried to process what I felt and thought about the event and what he had done to us in the past. The song was Believer by Imagine Dragons. I had never really listened to the lyrics, but apparently my spirit knew that song struck a button in me. I finally followed a lyric version of the song on Youtube.......I was flabbergasted,
When you think about yes..bad spirit.. music has a profound effect on people and even though I thought I enjoyed at the time it was sucking the life out of me

If you can, do you think you can elaborate on the feeling you would get? I can't even listen to some metal music, it irritates me too much. I just want to know the other side, when people seek it out. I just asked my husband why he likes it, and he said he gets pumped up. Whatever that means?

For me it expressed the pain, anger, sadness, hopelessness, rebellion etc I felt from surviving extreme abuse with no relief/help in sight.

I can understand that Dan, it just doesn't work for me
But then I am a bit odd
Black metal made me feel energized yet angry..the satanic music made me feel aloof and Superior to others and gave me a real feeling of not giving a damn about others..not good..I'm done listening to it

wow - thanks for this commentary - good to know
Heavy metal can take you to a place you really do not want to venture into. It's not so much the music, but the lyrics. I remember when the band Stryper first came out as I believe they were the first heavy metal Christian band. So many thought they were a satanic band as they never listened to the lyrics, but only the head banging music.
Even today many come against the heavy metal Christian bands that are helping to lead many of the youth to the Lord. We might not understand what the lyrics are by how they are screamed out of the mouth of these bands, but the kids know all the lyrics as being the word of God.

To me heavy metal is only a bunch of screaming,.. but if it brings people closer to Christ then so be it.

Thank you for describing the feelings it gave you. I appreciate the reflective nature and honesty.

Dan, this is giving me a better compassion for those who listen to this. I really couldn't understand why people would want to listen. I'm glad you are feeling more hopeful nowadays.

Yours is a perfectly normal response Tess. It's my response to it that is potentially harmful. The music doesn't serve to bring me closer to the Lord, it only serves to bring me closer to the emotions and thoughts that plague me. Why do I put myself through that? To bring out suppressed memories and feelings so I can try and process them. Kinda a self psychological therapy. My story is so unique, I have no idea how to work through it. I tried the mental health route, but each "doctor" was much more concerned with giving me honesty test after honesty test instead of hearing me out. They kept giving me these tests in hopes of finding contradictions ,but couldn't get the results they hoped for. Every time I tried to tell what happened, my "doctor" would leave me alone in their office with other patient's records and/or money left laying around. i suppose I was supposed to take the money and rifle through the records, which i did not, but they just kept on and on with no actual therapy. Thus I was left to my own to figure out a coping method.I can understand that Dan, it just doesn't work for me
But then I am a bit odd

Dan that is disgraceful way to treat anyone. I am totally shocked. How you have managed to cope I cannot imagine
If they don't believe you it would make it impossible to trust them enough yo be able to talk to them. They are a waste of time.
I'm sorry you've had to go through all that suffering Dan.
They need to be able to listen.

It's all about corruption. If it were ever proven that my mother was sexually abused by Episcopal clergy as a teen and passed from city to city (Waco, Corpus Christi, Victoria, Houston, Corpus Christi again) and that she was so brainwashed that she continued this into adulthood and into her marriage......then you could imagine the damage to the Church. But imagine one of those clergy getting her pregnant(with me). And abortion being illegal(1959). Then the Episcopal Church trying to gain custody. Then "Dad" taking out a life insurance policy on me ($100k) and placing me under an A/C window unit installed right over my bed, stripping me naked with no covers.....not even a pillow resulting in double pneumonia. He then tried to give me away to his sister(I suppose to finish me off). My mother handed me over to her married priest boyfriend to be molested....I refused to cooperate. I walked out in front of a car a few months later. They tried sending me away to an Episcopal boarding school in San Antonio(probably to be broken through rape) but I ran away. I wasn't even vaccinated...I only received boosters in middle school but she somehow convinced(paid off?) a doctor to falsify immunization records. I currently test positive to exposure to TB. I cannot donate organs/blood. My lungs are heavily scarred. There's more........but my question is.........how much is a lawsuit like that worth? How much are they willing to do to silence me? I believe my story would heavily cripple, if not destroy, the Episcopal Church.
