In the light of the lifting of sanctions on glass clinking and recent threads on chess and DVDs of Lord of the Rings, was there anything you did for fun, as a hobby or for recreational purposes that you felt might be "taken the wrong way" if it came to the attention of the elders or Sister Busybody?

Any science fiction...
Went to fireworks events...
Attended R-rated movies after I saw 2 elders and their wives come out of theater showing an R-rated movie and was told by other elders that was no reason they could not go to an R-rated movie...
Went to movies such as Sleeping Beauty (witch in it), many Disney movies have that theme, one elder said if it was a Disney movie it was okay to watch....
Any hobby...was considered a time waster, get out there and make recruits...
Read science non-fiction books on archaeology and fossils...
Pick anything they "suggested" we not do, I would decide for myself (I did not go out speeding, that makes sense not to)
There are 600 addendums to the Torah called the Talmud...I think the WTS has more than 600
