We always watched the Dukes of Hazzard, even our Dad who was and is an elder. Bewitched and Jeanie were definitely out. Any show that dealed with magic or the supernatural, even if there was only one scene in it they would make us turn the channel. I can only remember my dad ever buying us a couple toys growing up and if it wasnt for the grandparents we wouldnt had any. My Dad was super strict even for JW standards and when other kids at hall the would get go-karts and dirtbikes, Dad would never do the same for us. I realize that some JW kids had a relatively smooth childhood, but they are in the minority. My father never just bought us something because he wanted to, he always had to have a good reason, and to beat it all he had a good paying job, at least with some of my worldly family members their parents really wanted their kids to have something and didnt do anything just out of obligation. I could go on and on about this, but time is limited here at the computer.
