As the saying goes ... garbage in = garbage out. Unfortunately a lot of christians think what they listen to, watch or read doesn't affect them ... it does.
Haven't heard KOL, don't really care to after reading some lyrics and song titles.
Read this thread it is an eye opener.
They were born in the home of a Pentecostal Pastor. Said pastor/father had a bad fall, the Kings, (all brothers I believe) became bitter towards God, the UPCI and all things Pentecostal (or some such)
They are now a highly acclaimed Rock band with Pentecostal soul and backslider’s attitude.
Some here know their family and even them I believe. I feel greatly for these boys because they have suffered greatly at the hands of our "religion" and I mean that sincerely. I wish them great success and pray they find their way thru the bitterness to a relationship with God despite what they have suffered.

I knew they came from a UPC background ... even named an album "Because of the Times."
Ferd...that is a nice post. They say their lastnames are Followill...think that is a take off of Follow the will of God. Not sure..I don't know that much about them. I think that they are from TN originally...not sure what the actually name of the family is though.

Ferd....i don't believe all of your facts are correct. for one...they are not all brothers. as for them becoming bitter towards God....i consider it rash to judge someones heart....but further i would ask how many of us haven't become bitter at some time towards God?
i am not defending them, thier lives, music, choices....they are all of age and can speak for themselves....but would rather people post facts that are true...not rumors...not opinions. if its an opinion...then say that...but to call these things as facts is simply not true.
regarding "our religion"...are you refering to the UPCI?

Did you read the beginning of this thread? There are some details and several people who know their family personally. Ferd didn't just make that up.

In fact i did say "I believe" when I suggested they were all brothers... because I am not sure of that.
for the "bitter" comment, I believe they themselves are "on record"
As it relates to "our religion" I would include the UPCI but extend it beyond that to the larger OnenessPentecostal "religion"
my friend, I dont play fast and loose with facts as a general rule. What I have said I am comfortable standing by.
It is no slant on these boys. If anything the indictment is to our charge.

Probably one of the best rock bands I have heard in a long time. If you are not a strong Christian you might want to stay away as their music might stir up affections for the wrong kind of lifestyle.
So it's ok to listen to music that stirs up affections for the wrong lifestyle if you are a strong Christian? Or maybe if you are a weak Christian you'd be more inclined to give into the temptation of listening to that stuff to begin with?
