a few still do not allow it but not many. even some ultra cans allow it.

Hunting and fishing have never been off limits for ANY churches.

The Giants,Oakland riaders are better teams (down right now) and don't you ever forget that EVER

The times they be a changin...
I remember golf being wrong; my dad always said it was a rich man's sport.
I can remember my mom telling us they preached against radio
programs.
There's a church I know of that stopped letting their youth group go to a popular amusement park because of the skimpy clothing they would be subjected to . Does this mean they never leave the house? go to the mall,the zoo, even school...

I've never felt tainted at a college game. I will admit that I have mixed feelings about attending any more NBA games due to the cheerleader
dance squads. That should bother any redblooded man.

Quoted from the Manual

"We wholeheartedly disapprove of our people indulging in any activities which are not conducive to good Christianity and Godly living, such as theaters, dances, mixed bathing, women cutting their hair, make-up, any apparel that immodestly exposes the body, all worldly sports and amusements, and unwholesome radio programs and music. Furthermore, because of the display of all these evils on television, we disapprove of any of our people having television sets in their homes. We admonish all of our people to refrain from any of these practices in the interest of spiritual progress and the soon coming of the Lord for His church."


.
When the word "theaters" is mentioned, does it mean the theaters where music/dancing/comedy is performed at Branson, OpryLand, Six Flags, etc.?

SInce each church is autonomous, as you look around the country people use their own interpretation of that word and more... which is fine..IMO

The only NBA game that I have attended was at FedEx Forum, the home of
the Memphis Grizzlies.

Consider this, how can we watch something unlawful for us to do oursleves. Like would you wear a tank top and shorts?

Why is there a difference in watching a 'live' play at the theater versus a recorded one (movie) at the theater?
