Well, for openers, the Na'vi are BLUE, the same color as <gasp!> SMURFS! They might be the offspring of fallen angels!
My daughter has a JW friend at our home for a sleep-over tonight !! Help!

yup...saw it...but having never been a judgmental person....not judging if you are a JW or not by a movie!

They are watching Adam Sandlers, bedtime stories. She wanted to watch another movie, but my daughter just said it was too Christian, "we're Jewish, my daughter told the girl. When asked what church she went to she just said, "kingdomhall" in a quiet voice.
Outlaw, I'm not giving up those chairs!! When they tear down the old KH, I want those two tiny windows, too!
Movies were a big deal back in my day- Remember Star wars, The force be with you? JW's were warned about that "force" .
I have been keeping track of that families Meeting attendance and I would say their car is in the driveway an awful lot of Sundays - they don't appear to be dressed up for service either on Saturday.

Hmmm, doesn't sound like the JW robot-family. I think you're safe. Just be good hosts and take a friendly interest in these friendship starved humans.

You are right Billy, maybe my wife and I will invite them all over for a cookout.

So the girl goes home, and the parents asked her what she did to pass the time?
"We read "C of C" together.

When I was an "active" Witness, I was told that Disney movies were bad because the movies had *magic* in them, and, also, *bestiality* because, you know, Beauty fell in love with the beast, and they kiss frogs and stuff like that there. . .It's just wrong man, you see. . .Avatar has turned humans in to beasts. That's *bestiality*! Porneia! You see?

haha...I agree...but time passes...in the end, like I said, a movie doesn't determine what your "beliefs" are, or "who" you are. Unless it is an orgy involving women, small children, and donkeys....it is just a movie!!
I always hated when people judged me for the movies I watched, even tho I was VERY selective. The final straw was when my brother-in-law, who was a former circuit overseer, wouldn't let his daughter watch Charlotte's Web because there was dying! BALANCE people...BALANCE. That goes for us that are no longer JW!
Moshe...I think that is an excellent idea! Have them over, you never know what will come of it :)
