  Change the Channel!

  by perfect1 in

  on another thread band on the run mentioned the jw habit of changing the channel on tv abruptly whenever something spiritually reprehensible might pop up.. recently, when i was visiting a family member, they changed the channel from sumo wrestling so that we would not see such obscene nudity.. of course, as soon as i left the room the channel would switch back.

  id come in and it would switch again.

  this made for a semi entertaining game of seeing how close i could get before the channel changed.

  Inkie- wow what a thing to sit through. How humiliating for the wife!!!

  Chariklo- Yes I know what you mean- similar to the endless repetition of HARLOT. Its strange to emphasize these ideas over positive ones.

  used to be werewolves and vampires.

  thinkin' "twilight" did that in - just saw a commercial for a cartoon where the star is a teenage vampire.

  even the zombies are becoming friendly (seen a trailer about a zombie who falls in love and so reverts to "living" again).

  recently a few threads have remarked upon how restrictive the jws have become in the last decade or so in terms of activities and the amount of freedom alloted to individuals.. well, i can ballpark estimate when it started in my area.

  it was the mid to late 80's.

  throughout most of the 80's, my congregation frequently had potlucks and days at the park when all the local congregations would gather for fellowship.. there was a lot of laughs, lots of grilling, and easy interactions with other jws.

  BORN-INS! What Were The Most Annoying Quotes Your Parents Would Say?

  by OneStepOut93 in

  regarding worldly people, shows or toys?

  etc...what quotes annoyed you the most?.

  for me it was "well, you have to remember, they're worldly"... "don't trust anyone who isn't in the truth" "they may be nice but they are not friends of jehovah"... just a few to name.

  AGuest:

  All things are CLEAN... to CLEAN people. If one is NOT clean "on the inside"... then pretty much nothing is clean to THEM. And so, they try to make everything "unclean" to everyone else.

  I couldnt agree with you more!

  Flipper: No Joke. No Nudity allowed in my family. I did have a JW friend growing up whose family would all get naked in the showers at the beach- and I was HORRIFIED. Having never seen a naked human before. My next shock came next from the National Geographic where I studied the first adult penis ever- which was attached, like a long flaccid brown snake, to an Indian Saddhu. (shudder)

  whathappened- its a high control group, when it dictates what way grown adults should choose their entertainment.

  Problem addict- I think I know exactly the clip you mean- as I was like- why, oh why do they have to do this- show a chainsaw near a ladies head on regular TV!!! I have limits too, but its different that the bizarre channel changing JWs do when people on screen kiss to long or some magic happens.

  Do you have any fun or silly stories of someone changing the channel on you.
