My son came home today wearing a KISS t-shirt. I asked him where he got it and he said it was his band shirt for school and they are wearing them to homecoming.
There is no other pictures or writing, except the sponsors on the back, but the front says KISS with the typical backward Z shape of the S letters.
I'm not sure what to do about this. I'd like some advice from the forum members, especially those who have somewhat of a 'rock' background.
Thanks.
BTW, he's 16 and doesn't know KISS like most of us do.
Hmm, maybe not make a big deal out of it.....sometimes that can backfire.
you don't think they're hurtful because you ........ eveyrone and place all the balem on them when they backslide...
Hey lighten up Hoss, do you know who you're posting to? The Elder is not at all as you are stating. A great number of this forum has a great deal of respect for this Brother. Or is it that you just see red when ever a Conservative post?

What are you talking about?

Was that right after the 49th day when you were under the Bodhi tree?

Who are you speaking for? Are you the spokemen for Standards Anonymous?
All the people I know are pretty happy bunch of Apostolics. I guess it's all that praying and worshipping they do.

Well, there you go folks, you see if you don't agree with this individual you are a blind and heartless? I guess that makes him slow and clueless.

What is the church that you love? Are you United Pentecostal Church International?

Imagine if he came home wearing a red shirt with a white circle and a swastika in the middle. Just ignore it and hope it goes away? I guess that's what they call parenting in the U.S.A.

Yeah, EB if my kid came home smoking dope, I wouldn't care. Sheesh, it's a T-Shirt that in her son's mind reportedly has no relevant meaning besides band class.

For one thing, you are reading way more into this situation than you even know about.
For another, there is a big difference in what you are talking about and what the reality is of my situation.
And commenting on anything RC says is for naught, as he's no longer a member here.

Oh I'm sorry I thought you were talking about sticking your head in the sand.
Listen before I get in a go nowhere discussion, let me repeat that the parents in the church family down here make sure their young people know why they do what they do concerning the church, and what the symbols mean out in the world. It's real simple, no problem, I believe in making sure the young Brothers know what is in the symbolism of certain bands. At least making sure they are educated will give them an even playing field when dealing with non-Christians.

For all of his seemingly Type A aggression, E.B. does posit some wisdom.

I didn't notice he was removed. Why was he banned?
Sorry I gave my opinion, you asked a question in open forum.
This discussion has moved away from your situation, am I not correct? RC and I were talking about the band Kiss and then their lyrics. You have already made your decision and your son has made it through to your satisfaction, and his. So time proves all things, may you both live long and prosper.
I don't know you or your son, and I'm giving my opinion on a computer board.
If the discussion then moved on with the posts of other members you shouldn't take it personal, and anyway no matter what it's between you and your son.
The Lord bless you and may Jesus guide you.
