Also, when we do find one that is worthwhile, we rent it at Red Box, which means we have to wait for it to become available several months after its initial release.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417401195683808500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624281955555099888.post-2566065156401776602011-07-03T14:12:58.897-07:002011-07-03T14:12:58.897-07:00Mari,Karin, and Debbie

I recall the first time we allowed our three children to attend a movie theater (to see Charlotte's Web) several people in our congregation were offended and let us know about it.<br /><br />Certainly, much of what is offered as entertainment today is horrible dross and not fit for human consumption.<br /><br />And I agree that were need to be careful not to confuse liberty with license. You are each such a good source of feedback.

I remember my grandparents thought TV was bad but would come to our house and watch our TV. :)<br /><br />I think we need to not be so black and white on these issues. Of course, discretion is important in choosing a movie. I'm amazed at what they even show on prime time TV nowadays. I often cringe thinking many children are exposed to things they have no business knowing about. <br /><br />Enjoy this time with your grandchildren!<br /><br />Blessings and love,<br />DebbieDebbie Petrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235978883396499354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624281955555099888.post-90195892594559766842011-07-03T10:07:15.979-07:002011-07-03T10:07:15.979-07:00We sure have this in common and came to the same c...We sure have this in common and came to the same conclusions myself. The freedom that we have is not license however. Some are weaker and cannot handle the freedom and I don't want to flaunt it and lead someone astray. Perhaps they'll grow as well. Hubby and I did go to some movies, but honestly, it's far too expensive and rich for our budget!! We're homebodies and prefer to rent a movie - don't mind waiting until it comes out. We've kept so busy we haven't watched one in months, lol!<br /><br />Have fun with the grands!Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953073381987950597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624281955555099888.post-78991455675257623562011-07-03T10:00:51.117-07:002011-07-03T10:00:51.117-07:00I grew up in the same manner.

I did miss movies though.<br />Things have changed. Most of the people who were against movies have now gone to them!Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289456727508305342noreply@blogger.com
