It is not wrong to teach your children about the uglies in life. They must be informed but even though children are exposed to obscenities in the outside world there is no reason to bring them up in that manner.

We should not allow children to view or practice what they see especially when it is offensive.

There would be no more gentlemen and no more ladies. No more good manners. No more courtesy for anyone or anything.

how do you feel about tv shows & movies at present?.

do you think it is appropriate for children to be viewing comedies with cursing and sexual encounters?.

don't you think movies have more cursing even though they are rated "g"?.

Good going Chimene! Congratulations!!!

By the way people, people! Most of you still did not answer the question.

Do you really think it's appropriate for children to be viewing the types of TV shows & movies at present which supposed to be G, PG rated?

Relationship with God

by dozy in

jw
friends

just a general question , really.. i'm an active witness who is questioning & researching - unsure of any conclusions yet.

i've spoken to a couple of former apostates who have been reinstated as to why they returned (as i know that very few do) and the summary of their conclusions is given below.

i would appreciate your comments.. ...essentially they had a strong relationship with god and felt that this was the paramount purpose in life.

We should always make time for the Creator. Without Him we would not exist.

We ought to spend time in prayer. Praying for world peace.

Chimene that's the "adult" world.

It's amazing when you refer to children "adults" get offended.

What a mess!

Sounds like a lot of marriages, eh? God help us all if they ever stop talking about it and actually begin doing it!

Is it appropriate G rated for children?

"Bite me"

A sexual reference and obscenity.

People at present take these "little things" for granted.

Even the movies like Schrek have cuss words

Exactly so. You can enjoy comedies and movies so much more without the obscenities and "hot" sexualities.

What about:

The Simpsons (enough said)

Grace Under Fire (contained three curse words ("bastard," "bitched," "ass").

Clueless (A teenager told his girlfriend that he's always creative when he's lying under the stars with her. She responded that in reality, "the creativity burden falls on me...having to come up with new ways to tell you 'no.'")

Suddenly Susan ("bite me" ),

Behaving Badly ( woman mentioned having "fifty-five hours of nonstop sex" with a man she'd just met)

The G rating does not necessarily indicate a safe haven for children of all ages. Shows with vulgarities and sexual references have garnered a G rating.

If children are forced to grow up without good role models, they turn to other sources to imitate.

Moesha, Everybody Loves Raymond,

Is there a decline in family values in this country? Parents play an important role in their children's upbringing.

Everybody Loves Raymond (comedy)

This G- Rated series contain obscenity & sexual references.

A thirtyish married couple, deals with their sex life from time to time. One episode opened with Raymond and his wife, Deborah, waking up in the morning.

Raymond wondered, "How about a little?"

Deborah said, "Oh, God, I don't feel so well...Oh, God, I'm so hot," meaning feverish.

"I'm getting mixed signals," Ray remarked. She then asked him to look after their children, whereupon he whined, "We could have been done by now."
