I remember at the hall, there was a speech where the brother said that 90% of movies weren't for Christians. The way he talked, about 90% of movies had sex in it or violence or anything that Christians shouldn't watch.
Funny thing is that every time I was invited to watch a movie with the JW's, there was plenty of violence in the movie they chose, and it didn't seem to bother them whatsovever.
Gee, I rented lots of movies with sex and violence, and it didn't bother me at all.
No *giggle* and neither do my parents - who tend to watch whatever the hell they want, mostly R rated stuff. Do I say anything about it? Nope
By the time I started renting movies I was pretty weak in the LIE, so I started watching movies I had been forbidden to see when I was a kid, like "Psycho." I had more fun watching them than you could shake a stick at.
Well, as you know, now that im out, I rent alot of scary movies. Demons, ghosts, any thing like that. I love the scare! Ha, wait till you get here, I will have several of them waiting for you to watch with me! (I know you love them)
At first, yes. But it wore off after a couple of years and I just rented what I wanted to see.
There was this uber witnoid in our congregation who'd rent all kinds of stuff to watch at home, but would fast forward through the "objectionable" parts...as if you couldn't still see what was going on. Seemed pretty silly to me.
I'll watch any movie with ya Butt
Sometimes I'll see a movie and recommend it to her, like Almost Famous. She will then start whining that it's rated R and shouldn't watch it. But then she'll watch it and love it.
My husband, newly baptized, has been on a weird 'can't see' movies for quite some time now. Even tv shows that are humorous and even if the couple are married! the channel is quickly switched. Not that either one of us actually verbalize any of this, I know the reason. Lately all the old black & white sitcoms seem ok. yuk. They were old when I was a kid! At least there's decorating shows on, Discovery is ok usually too. However they do once and awhile have things about evolution. He doesn't like those of course. His favorite? anything gloom or doom, Nazi, or very boring like the history of a lightbulb or something.
Yeah, what a load of rubbish.
