A Recovery from Faith - On Media

Forsaking Faith

Hi all, for some reason this file did not upload to most of our sites, so I thought I'd try it again... four months later.

Heather and Christine talk about how movies, television, and music was restricted by their church, school, and parents when they were Christians. They both say that while the limitations were frustrating, there were still good things that came from it.

Heather mentions how her parents were very restrictive, but had some strange exceptions to some of the restrictive rules. She mentions that she feels left out of some nostalgic conversations today because she doesn't have the experiences of her peers.

Christine talks about the fact that her mother didn't allow any sort of magic in their household, even if the media was by a Christian artist, but that restrictions on music and movies were a little more relaxed for her than Heather. She and Heather also mention a fear of demons that carries through to their adult lives, and how they've tried to overcome that.
