Would Your "Spirit-Directed Conscience"Have Made You Walk Out Of A Movie?

by Englishman in

jw
friends

this was a fairly frequent occurence amongst the brothers and sisters in my young dubby days.

i was heaved out of the cinema on more than one occasion, generally by my mother who reckoned some things were just too much for my innocent young eyes and ears.

i only half saw:.

Angharad

I've never walked out of a movie, but I seem to remember Dirty Dancing causing a bit of a stir in our hall and some saying they walked out of that. All that sexy dancing, terribly immoral and all

We used to watch Dr Who every week in our house, I remember my uncle coming to stay once and he made us turn it off

We had the book study in our house when I was little, I had the mumps one time and remember being in the back room watching Dr Who (times must have changed) while the group was on in the next room I hid behind the couch a couple of times (hey I was only about 6)

Big Brother UK - I'm not nornally a prude ... but ...

by Faolan in

friends

apparently, on the next uk big brother, the first contestants to have sex with each other have been offered 50,000 .

i'd be interested to know what other people think!.

claire, x

Angharad

Very tacky

Doesn't suprise me - reality shows have been overdone and overkilled to the point people are sick of them - so they are obviously going for the shock factor to try and keep the audience.

I've never watched BB, seemed so boring to watch 12 people sitting around in a house for 2 weeks, with lots of staged arguements
