Surprised

I too sat down with my children to watch this movie some time ago. Usually we have a hard time finding movies we can watch together as a family, especially since they're at the tender ages of 19 and 21. I was appalled at the kissing. My 19 year old was especially upset. He became agitated and eventually began crying. We had to stop the movie to bring him to talk to our pastor who was able to calm him down. Our pastor thought it would be a good idea to try and continue watching the movie, not for enjoyment, but so that our children would get an idea of the evils they will be confronted with in this world. After all, their mother and I won't always be able to chaperon when they go on dates with members of the opposite sex, despite how much we'd like to. After kneeling in our prayer room together and praying, we started the movie again. To make a long story short, when it was over, my wife suggested we burn the DVD as we prayed over it. I, as the father of the house, decided it would be best to also burn our DVD player, as I didn't want any residual impurity lingering in the damned contraption. In order for it to really burn, I had to pour some gasoline on it. The fire got out of control and spread to the rest of the house from the prayer room. We are now living at a shelter where my daughter met an older man (who apparently used to sing in a rock band and does not go to church regularly). She started seeing this man behind our backs until we learned that she and my wife have both become impregnated by him. And it is all due to this movie. If you ask me, I believe that the level of sin in the movie is really what drove these events. By bringing this movie into our home, we invited evil itself into our lives. Watch at your own risk.

score 4/10
