Members are not supposed to dance, drink, or smoke;

I don't smoke, but I do drink on occasion, and dance once in a blue moon.

 

watching movies and television is discouraged,

TV sucks-I wouldn't miss it, but I really am looking forward to the other two LOTR movies.

 

and viewing pornography of any kind is prohibited.

It's disgusting anyway.

 

I only scored a 50%. Good thing I don't belong to that church.

So was it the nudity or the dancing that got her in hot water :)

Personally, I don't dance, but any church that bans drinking and smoking sure as hell ain't getting my dollar in their collection plate on Sunday.

I wonder if she'll be attending the end of the year pool party with the other parents? (She'll probably feel overdressed)

This guy became very attracted to a pretty Christian Fundamentalist and contemplating a long relationship with her, he decided to seek out more information about her religion and to take training in the teachings of this religion. He finds a high up church elder and decides to ask him questions about the Fundamentalist beliefs.
First he asks, "Does the religion allow me to drink coffee?"
"Why no," replied the church elder. "We don't believe coffee is a natural product since the beans are treated to enhance their flavor and we don't allow for anything that isn't completely natural."
"Well, what about tea then?"
"Tea's okay because it is totally natural."
"Well what is the church's position on dancing," asked the man.
"We don't allow for that either. We believe that is unnatural also," he replied quoting from the scriptures to make his point.
"Well, what about sex? Do you allow for sex?"
"Of course," replied the elder, "as long as it is between two married people."
"But do you allow for any kinky sex?"
"You will have to describe what you mean by kinky sex," the elder replied.
"Well for example, sex undertaken while standing up," the man responded.
"No, we don't allow for that either.....it could lead to dancing."

Why is it a good thing, "not to belong to that church"? You probably don't really belong to much of anything.
