What movie did you walk out on when a jw? Have you seen it since? What changed?

Wasanelder Once

Ok I walked out on Austin Powers because I thought it was so crude and god dishonoring. Since the fade I think it is very funny, still not a favorite but not the end of the world either. How about you? Any movies that were a big sin are nothing now? What changed, certainly not the movie. What about you has changed so that it is no big deal now?

Oh please, only time witnesses walk out of a movie or change the channel from a TV show is when they're showboating in front of other Dubs to come off as a pious, uber Dub. In the privacy of their own home Lord knows (and he does) what they're up to !!

A pioneer couple who studied with me 50 years ago took me to see a film featuring Juliet Prowse doing some provocative dancing. They walked out, left me there, returning later to take me home.

Hi, Wasa!

I remember sneaking out to go to a forbidden movie, with my best friend, K. Her family was in town for a convention (lol, of course, as a JW teen, my best friend lived 6 hours' drive away!) ... it was "The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea". My parents had forbidden me to see it (mind you, I was 18 years old) because it had a 'sexual' scene .... lol, so tame... it showed the man's hand traveling up the woman's body UNDER THE COVERS! Scandalizing! I was also forbidden to watch my soap "Another World", because all soaps were 'whore stories'.

Fast forward a few decades ... my mom is RAVING about that awful movie ... Mamma Mia. Oh, it's SUCH a good story! Her best friend even bought her the DVD!

huh? It's about a woman who slept with 3 different men at the same time, and her daughter doesn't know which one is the dad. I thought,,, wow, things have sure changed.

I never walked out of a movie, but was afeared to watch anything that had satan or demonic themes.... that has REALLY changed. I loved Rosemary's Baby, and vampire movies.

My x-husband (the former Bethelite) walked out of Ryan's Daughter - the orgasm scene, leaving me and 4 other jws in the theater.

This in a nutshell gives a strong hint of what was wrong with our marriage.

dazed but not confused

BeetleJuice - I was only 5 at the time and don't remember it but my mom took us right out.

Yes, I've seen it since.

Scully

Young Sherlock Holmes in 1985; during the human sacrifice scene (which obviously would have been thwarted). In my defense, I was pregnant at the time, and the thought made me nauseated. I should have just stepped out for some air, instead of ruining the movie for my hubby too.

Hey, talesin... Another World was the only soap opera I ever watched. It was my guilty pleasure Monday through Friday afternoons. My mom got me hooked on it. LOL

Haha, Scully, me, too! I was gutted when they cancelled it. Jake ... MEOW!

I never walked out of a movie when I was a dub. My teenage dub friends and I watched R movies too. We were such naughty little dubbies.

My dub mom, on the other hand, almost never watches movies. But my sister (an exdub and just a little bit malicious) recently gave her the DVD, "Pirates of the Caribbean." My mother watched it and told me she was never so frightened in her life. I laughed and told her to never, but never, watch "Jaws," "Alien(s)," or "The Exorcist." I think they would scare her to death.
