The only way my mom would let me dance to the song was for me to put on some cowboy boots and "Shake my Boot".
When my wife was a JW teenager, the JW mothers put their heads together and decided that the 80's song with the line about dancing "cheek to cheek" referred to BUTT CHEEKS, and so forbade their teens from listening to it.
This from the same group that read a hotdog package, saw the ingredient "erythorbate", pronounced it "earth-uh-bait" and concluded that hot dogs contained worms. Despite my reasoning that using otherwise discarded cow and pig parts would be much cheaper than harvesting worms, I could never dissuade them from this belief. They still believe it as far as I know...
(This isn't directly a JW problem, this is a hick town problem, but their lack of education and exposure to the real world due to their dubism no doubt makes it worse.)

You could be FORTUNATE all day long
You must have been in one of those liberal congregations. We couldn't even use the word "fortunate"!I figured we were ok with "fortunate" since the Watchtower used it. Nobody ever called me on it, but if they did I was ready to show it to them. (Searching on watchtower.org reveals 9 occurrences of "fortunate" in their articles.) I wonder if JW's with Tourette's go around spontaneously shouting "LUCKY!" and "SMURF!"? Dave

Huey Lewis' song "I wanna a drug"... nope couldn't listen to it. He wanted a new drug...he was tired of all those other drugs and those weren't good enough so he was wanting to invent yet another new drug -

Go to a high school dance or graduation, because you'd probably come home pregnant.

Shop at yard sales (don't want to invite demons in)
I must have missed that study article. Is this for real? No yard sales for fear of demon possession?
