I learned in church today

[fusnik]

Good hell, everyone complains about loud kids on a plane...doesn't mean we think the parents are evil. It's like when my grandma used to fart in front of my friends. I knew she had an intestinal condition and couldn't help it, but I still complained about it.

Every ahole and person over 68 complains.

I fly more than the average and have never been on a flight where I thought, shut that damn baby up, it's hurting my ears!

And crying kids in sacrament are a blessing, gives me something to focus on besides the Internet which makes my wife happy.

You've probably just been blessed with less sensitive ears.

I thought about starting a new thread for this, but since I want to keep my NTS low, I will give it a shot here: I learned in church today I need to choose an inspirational movie to watch for our combined activity this coming Tuesday night. So, if anybody has some good suggestions for inspirational movies, I'd love to hear them. Preferably no R rated shows. I'd like to avoid PG-13 as well, but if you know a really good one, I think the Obispo would be fine with that.

TIA!

A few random ones that come to mind that probably wouldn't have objectionable material:

Rocky
The Karate Kid
To Kill a Mockingbird
Chariots of Fire
Rudy
Babe

I guess I haven't watched many G or PG movies in the last 20 years.

What is the age group?

Thanks Cardiac. Donut, not so much. The other part of this is that I'd like to find one that may not be quite as well known so most of the people there will be seeing it for the first time.

What is the age group?

12-18

Maybe we need and "I was an asshole in Church today" thread.

Seriously though, I think the answer to this is in the middle somewhere. I get Tim's point, but as a parent I also realize it's not quite as cut and dry as some make it sound. I will say this though, kids CAN be taught to be reverent in Sacrament meeting, at a very young age. I've done it 4 times.

It is inevitable that little kids will be noisy, cry, etc. in Sacrament meeting. The more clueless parents just ignore it to others' detriment. The standard MO though seems to be to take the kid out, let them run in the halls or run around in the foyer, etc. This of course teaches the kid that they can cry in Sacrament meeting and get to go play. Duh.

Here is what we did with all 4 of ours.

1. Bring age-appropriate, quiet toys / activities to church.
2. If they cry or are loud, give them a warning.
3. If they don't stop, they go to the foyer with Dad.
4. In the foyer, they have to sit on Dad's lap with their arm's folded for the rest of the meeting.

It doesn't take long for them to figure out that the foyer is much more miserable than quietly coloring, looking at a book, etc. in the chapel will be.

Obviously I'm not talking about infants. And my sample size is 4 (girls at that) so I'm not saying this will work for every kid. But the point is, an awful lot of parents do just the opposite and get the expected results.

This sums up how I feel pretty well. I know kids will be loud in Church, but there comes a point where they need to gently yet forcefully be removed from the pew and quickly ushered outside. There is a reason your kids are difficult, it's because no one has ever set any boundaries or expectations of good behavior for them.

What's the stance on NC17?

A resounding no for the combined activity, but for the wife and I afterwards - bring it on, baby!
