Mormons can't watch PG-13 movies either?

The catch-all forum for general topics and debates. Minimal moderation. Rated PG to PG-13.

Funny story. I should be getting that email from the family any day now...


Oh, it wasn't that bad. I kind of liked it.


What did you "kind of like," The Dude? The movie "Cloverfield," the e-mail that Sethbag received, or dogpoop?

Mormons can watch PG-13 movies if they cover their eyes during the questionable scenes. At least, that's what my mom made me do. :)

Now, my daughters do that voluntarily during kissing scenes. My littlest daughter covers her eyes and the eyes of her kitten, too. He is usually situated on her lap. He doesn't seem too grateful of her protective measure, though.

My seven year old wants to watch the kissy-face scenes, but demands that I cover MY eyes. Weird kid.

Maybe I'm an over-protective mother, but I don't allow my children to watch most PG-13 movies which contain violence. Sex scenes don't bother me nearly as much as violence.

"Kitten," you say? So you aren't talking about either pork or beans?

How many cats do you now own?

This remind me of an object lesson a few years ago during a Stake Priesthood Conference. The SP was up there speaking about how we should only put clean things into our body. He took out a sucker and popped it in his mouth and then took it out and called up a 16-year old priest to the stand. He put the sucker back in his mouth and when the kid came up pulled it back out of his mouth and said "Here is a delicious sucker that I want you to have". Of course the kid was suppose to be disgusted by the sucker since it has already been licked but the kid grabbed it without a second thought and popped it into his mouth and started sucking on it. Everybody laughed and the SP stood there speechless for a few seconds. He then said that in all his years of doing this object lesson, this was the first time that somebody put the sucker in their mouth. It was funny as hell and took a lot of steam out of what he was trying to convey.

ps: I think I just Godwinned this thread. ;-)

Dr. Shades, Pork died six weeks ago. He had been ill for some time and endured two surgeries, and after my feeding him with a dropper for days on end to keep him alive, he was simply too weak to live comfortably.

My girls thought Beans would be miserably lonely, so we got a new kitten and named him Tarzan. We've been calling him Nazrat lately, which is his name backwards.

Here he is with my Annie, who hides his eyes during kissing scenes (It's a big photo, so I'm providing a link instead of posting the image.):

How do the two cats get along?

Awwww, the cat looks like a short-haired version of The Best Cat Ever (c), that I had for a short 12 years (he died 5 years ago, and I still miss him).

Oh - and the kid is cute, too. :)
