Grocery shopping?

[Jennifer K Harvey]

Greeting brothers and sisters.
I have a question....I know that wordly music is unpleasing to the Lord, so how should one shop when almost all stores play worldly music in them? Should we still shop in these stores?

Sorry if this a bit off-topic, but just yesterday I came across this video of two orthodox Jewish men playing "worldly" music in Israel, so I wonder why you think it's forbidden

What's "worldly music"?
Is it satanic or what?

Welcome to CF! We are still in the world and no matter where we go we are exposed to its goodness and badness. Ultimately it is the will of the Father that we love one another. Blessings

About sex, silly love songs, about money, drugs, violence etc.

You'd think that people would've had enough of silly love songs
I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh, no
Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs
And what's wrong with that?

That its silly and unrealistic, actually damaging real relationships

And its forced into our heads against our will, in malls and shopping centers.

Liking a song doesn’t make you foolish. Making decisions based on silly ideals is.

Given the proliferation of headsets and earphones you can tune it out. If its bothersome shop online.

Not all secular music is bad. As far as what stores play, you are in the world not of it. There are some things you’ll just have to put up with. Try not to be overly scrupulous.

Some bad songs play in your head long time after you left the shop.

Awesome!

Ear-worms happen.

 

[mama2one]

most stores play music at a low volume interrupted often by announcements

if you're concentrating on your list, trying to social distance from people, and focus on getting in & out quickly, the music shouldn't be much of a bother

Lets call it psychological war. The same principle is with tv/radio commercials - tunes and rhymes are made specifically to stay in our head.

Some places are obsessed with music/radio and do not care about our agreement with it, even though their purpose is totally different, like shopping or hair dressing.

Well you can easily ignore a song if you choose to. Greater is He that is within me....

No, you cant. Its subconsious. Thats the power of it and of commercials.

If they were easily ignorable, then nobody would pay for such commercials or songs.

Our brain is not made to ignore sounds that carry a message that rhymes, thats why they do it.

So? Just don't keep thinking about it after you heard it. As Paul already said, "we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" (2 Cor 10:5). Control your thoughts and don't let them control you.
