Old Fashioned Fundamentalist's Fear against Contemporary Music In Worship

This is a picture of The Harvest Praise Band, a contemporary Christian band.

Today many old fashioned fundamentalists still greatly fear any contemporary and upbeat sounding music being used during their religious services. These conservative old fashioned types like the very strict versions of Luthern or old fashioned Presbyterians, Seventh-Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons fear the sound of modern music. They seem tot think only a piano or organ is acceptable sounding and that gatairs or drumbs are evil. Yet where they get such crazy non-sense ideas is a mystery. Do they think in the Hebrew days they used pianos or organs? Middel Eastern people like upbeat happy celebrational music with as seen the picture here. When the ark of the covenant, representing Jehovah's presence, arrived at Jerusalem, David arranged for some of the Levites "to call to remembrance and to thank and praise Jah." They accompanied their vocal praise "with instruments of the STRING type and with harps, . . . with the cymbals playing ALOUD, . . . with the trumpets." These men were "designated by names to thank Jah, because 'to time indefinite is his loving-kindness.'"—1 Chronicles 16:4-6, 41; 25:1. The superscriptions to the psalms indicate the widespread use of musical instruments. Psalm 150 makes mention of the horn, harp, TAMBOURINE, pipe, and cymbals, in addition to STRINGS.: "Every breathing thing—let it praise Jah. Praise Jah, you people!"

Does this picture look like happy upbeat danceable music or funneral music to you?

Realy, Jehovah's Witnesses ideas about worship music as well as those held by old fashion Presbyterians is NOT really based on Bibical reasonings but rather ideas from a Victorian age culture.
