I do not believe in going to movie theaters! In my own opinion, I think it is dangerous! Think about, you are in a dark room where anyone can grab you and do horrible things to you.
Also, the commercials that advertise movies that are soon to be let out are full of sin. No Christian who lives for the LORD has any business going there!

It is a tragic thing to live your life in fear. Besides, in my opinion, those most terrified that someone is going to "grab" them and "do horrible things" to them in a dark movie theater are those least likely, aesthetically speaking, to be the object of such attentions.
Better not leave the house after dusk as someone might grab you and give ya a goosin' in the dark. In fact, better keep your bedroom lights on all night, that Teddy Bear has a sinister leer in his eyes. See if mommy will sit up all night with you.
What a co-inky-dink! I just read an article in today's Washington Post about how young people in Saudi Arabia are using modern cell phone technology, including Bluetooth, to make contact with the opposite sex and get around their extremely limited dating options. The article states that "Cinemas are banned men and women sitting in the same dark place is considered too likely to arouse mischievious hormones."
Just more proof that fundies the world over think alike. Different doctine, same old poop.

And I can promptly smash their face in.

Only if you're weak willed. Wait...

That thread was a trip. Bro. Randy kept talking about abstaining from the appearance of evil and about how it could damage your testimony if someone you knew saw you at the theatre. About how they may not know you're not there to see a "bad movie". Someone asked, "what about gas stations? They sell lottery tickets and beer and cigarettes" and Bro. Randy claimed he spends an extra .15 per gallon on gas so that he can go to the only gas station in his area that refuses to sell lottery tickets, or some dumb shit like that.
You know, come to think of it, more scandalous things take place in public parks after dark than in a movie theatre. I wonder if these same fundie fruitloops think it would be sinful for someone they know to see them attending a family picnic that extended past dusk.
Wound just a little too tight, methinks.
Oh, and I had a friend once whose fundie mom wouldn't let him go with me to a planetarium laser show with rock music; she said it was immoral. Not the rock music -- THE LASERS. o_0

"As Christian teens we are to be seperate from the world. Let me ask you, if the Lord was on the earth today would He go to a theater? I believe NOT! Stand Up for Jesus! Don't bend down for the world!"
When examining whether a group is a cult, one of the key indicators is whether the group attempts to restrict access to family, friends and conventional sources of information (e.g., TV, movies, magazines, etc.)
By any measure, what we are seeing here is teens being held captive by a cult.
Think about, you are in a dark room where anyone can grab you and do horrible things to you.
And, worse ... you might enjoy it! :-O
Then your soul will be damned for all eternity.
Well, only in Gibson's passion it will not happen. By the way, how many of you have been to theatre to confirm her stupidity?(by the same rule, I will not attend late services in Church or weddings for that matter)
I won't argue with you. If you don't want to go to the movie, fine. In fact, we'll be happy for you. Most of us don't like annoying jerks who shout on cellphones or shout about their gods anyway.
Actually, I never go to the movies either. There's never anything good playing.
"I’m too terrified to walk out of my own front door
They’re demonstrating outside I think they’re going to start the third world war
I’ve been to my local head shrinker
To help classify my disease
He said it’s one of the cases of acute schizophrenia he sees
Well the milkman’s a spy, and the grocer keeps on following me
And the woman next door’s an undercover for the K.G.B.
And the man from the social security
Keeps on invading my privacy
Oh there ain’t no cure for acute schizophrenia disease
I’ve got acute schizophrenia paranoia too
Schizophrenia, schizophrenia
I’ve got it, you’ve got it, we can’t lose
Acute schizophrenia blues
I’m lost on the river, the river of no return
I can’t make decisions, I don’t know which way I’m going to turn
Even my old dad, lost some of the best friends he ever had
Apparently, his was a case of acute schizophrenia too
I got acute schizophrenia paranoia too
Schizophrenia, schizophrenia
I’ve got it, you’ve got it, we can’t lose
Acute schizophrenia blues
They’re watching my house and they’re tapping my telephone
I can’t trust nobody, but I’m much too scared to be on my own
And the income tax collector’s got his beady eye on me
Oh there ain’t no cure for acute schizophrenia disease
No there ain’t no cure for
Schizophrenia disease"

That's why I like to take hot, horny chicks to obscure arthouse movies where they get bored with what's on the screen.
Julian, where do you get your hot horny chicks from? Is there a shop? Of course, if the theatre is dark enough, I'm prepared to be flexible about the "hot" requirement ;)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
