What Up!?

reaf by reaf · May 8, 2003 · 326 views · Journal

Why is it that those very same people who say "how can you go see a rated R movie , are the very same people who drink every weekend, but still act as little angels around certain people like lets say the elders. It just doesnt make sence does it!

Just keep on keeping on and dont let what others do
stumble you they are justifying what they are doing
by saying something is worse...

reaf #1.1 reafOG 2002

it's called being a hypocrite and leading a double life. Jehovah knows what they are doing

thatdarngirl #3 thatdarngirlOG 2002

That is one of the thing that bothers me more then anything else..not just the whole movie then drinking thing but the hypocrite thing in general. And I'm sure a lot of us have a problem with it cause it does happen everywhere but it makes me mad when older people think that the hypocrites should be an example for people younger then them and they just have no idea what a bad example they would be.

if it's not one thing it's another. they take the time to tell you what you should do but don't take the time to analyze their own actions.

skaorsk8 #5 skaorsk8OG 2002

if they are old enough to drink i don't see why this is an issue

ok4now #5.1 ok4nowOG 2002

yeah, i dont get the 'drink every weekend' issue

reaf #5.2 reafOG 2002

Im just saying becasue in one hand there saying rated R movies are horrible but in another light there going out drinking and getting drunk, like thats okay to do and any better! if you ask me Id go see the rated r movie any time than get drunk, (depeanding on the movie) and on top of it preaching to every one that 1)they dont do that 2) look down on other people who do do that.. its just ridiculous, im so sick of do as i say not as i do, im righteos , im more spiritual , im better than you attitudes, its just ridiculous!

i dont know about you... but the other day i was checking out Paint swatches for my house down by the lake.

deanh77 #5.2.2 deanh77Founder

oh! I see now. these people are getting "drunk". you should have been more specific.

reaf #5.2.2.1 reafOG 2002

Sorry!
yeah nothing is wrong with drinking in moderation of course

deanh77 deanh77Founder

cause I have only 1/2 a beer every saturday afternoon, when I know I don't have to drive anywhere, and I felt bad.

deanh77 deanh77Founder

but then again, I don't care if a person watches r-rated movies, that's their personal decision. but if I see someone forcing another person to go, peer pressure and whatnot, that kinda bothers me.

well let me put it this way,John the Baptizer chose to abstain from alcohal, but Jesus first merical, not to mention the fact that his comemoration, or memmorial , includes wine, shows that he drank every once in a while. the key is moderation. but the point is also to allow each follower of Jehovah to choose there own path and road when it comes to things of that nature. now the movie thing has been debated for years. you can do what you want, but think of the example that you ar setting. No mater which way you slice it, the world even conciders it bad enough for a "R" rating. so do what you want, but keep in mind, who ever you are, you are a servant of god 24/7. before and after you leave that movie

skaorsk8 #7.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

carl, i think it's great how your type exactly the way you talk. you make good points here...it's like the scripture we read last night at the meeting, whatever you are doing, do all things for god's glory. I think there was possibly a footnote about the Matrix, though.

cerbrato #7.1.1 cerbratoOG 2002

I am seeing Matrix-Reloaded and I dare any of you to stop me!!!!!!!!

skaorsk8 #7.1.1.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

i'm with you...ahem.

flomojopoanode #7.1.1.2 flomojopoanodeFounder

I could stop you...heh, almost anyone could physically stop you, dan. (haaahaaahahahaha, I'm joking, dan)

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002
