plmkrzy, OCD does take a lot of energy. I think keeping up with all the WT rules is a form of OCD.
It's obsessive right? It's compulsive right? It's a disorder right?

minimus: I actually DID get "threatened" with the ominous idea of the judicial comittee for the piercings but they busted me for smoking cigarettes first. It was a long week.

My dear mother told me today that one of the sisters in the Hall gave her a video of the District Convention, MINUS the opening and closing prayers. It seems that the Society has a rule that if you tape the program you cannot record the prayers!!!

That's very strange. Do you have any idea why? At any rate, one of the things that makes me sad is thinking about the number of marriages kids rushed into thinking it didn't really matter and now they could have SEX. 50 years later . . . .

Lucky us European witnesses. The R-rating of films were never enforced in that way here. Only principle - avoiding bad films. That’s it. To me, it meant avoiding e.g. occult movies etc. I hardly doubt anyone here would react on the Titanic movie... It was also rated as a film allowed for pre-teens. I did see the Matrix with a bunch of elders. One left, and no one made a scene about that. I wanted to leave, cause I thought it was too violent, stayed though. As a youth I did see, An officer and A gentleman. But we as a group all left at the time. Later one I heard a sister who had seen it several times with her daughter. No one made a big deal. I know people at Bethel watching James Bond-movies... I know pioneers watching film containing both sex and violence. Is that a reason for seeing or not seeing a movie? Of course not, people choose for themselves.
