Just been watching the movie Gremlins, and wondering what the Witnesses thought of it, given the demonic like beings that those cute little Gizmos turned into?
What did Witnesses think of the movie "Gremlins"?

I watched it when it came out and loved it....never gave a second thought of whether they were "demonic"....they were just creatures. But I bet wacky Brother Tuh-Macky would have thought otherwise.

I distinctly remember when that movie came out. It was a "secret sin" to watch it. It seemed like everyone was saying it was wrong to watch, yet everyone seemed to have a copy of the VCR tape.

I think anything that requires the least bit of imagination is viewed as demonic by them. I never thought of demons when I watched it either.

Uh huh, just as I thought! By the way, I don't actually think it is that great for a children's movie. My kids would have nightmares with some of the scenes, but as adults, my spouse and I laughed and were grossed out together (especially at the blender and microwave scene--who thinks of these things?). The kids were nowhere to be found...

This thread reminds me of how we where forbidden to watch Howard the Duck because of the naughty duck titties that were shown.
Maybe there was a problem with bestiality because too many of the local brothers were getting woodies when they saw the duck boobies.

We should be forbidden to watch that movie because it's so horrible.

I used to watch it all the time. I don't think I ever recall any Witnesses looking down on it though.

What's a woodie?
