Never heard this, but I can see some reasoning for this because the bars all close after midnight. Those who are most intelligent more than likely drink. You know how alcohol in any form is Satan's favorite tool for leading us all astray. We may even stay up and surf the web. That's another of Satan's tools as well.

I was taught that every hour of sleep before midnight is equal to two hours of sleep after midnight by a dumbass who never worked a night shift.

I heard it all the time and that is why, "just to be on the

safe side" my curfew was 10:00 LOL. I'm sorry, Satan isn't

nearly as scary as some of the die-hard members I have

encountered, including a few family members, over the past

few years. Gross is the only word that comes to mind

Come to think of it, I remember that they always closed our

church dances before midnight and I remember them saying it was

because of that very thing.

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout.
We're gonna stimulate some action;
We're gonna get some satisfaction.
We're gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.

After midnight, we're gonna shake your tambourine.
After midnight, it's all gonna be peaches and cream.
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion;
We're gonna give an exhibition.
We're gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down

I love that song.

Yep. And I put quite the show on for him after midnight, while at the Zoo.

That sounds like something from "Friday the 13th:The Series"! Often any satanic cults the good guys fought always seemed to operate more powerful after or around midnight...

Yes, I was taught it over and over. I thought is was ridiculous, but there was always that nagging thought in my mind.

All I was taught was, "Very few people out after midnight are up to any good."

1. The referred to study ignores those of us who follow:early to bed, early to rise and get up at between 4 and 5 a.m. and have IQs over 140.
2. I hads a college roommate (at MIT) who would go to bed at 5-6 am - no wonder he never (until he was my roommate) failed to get an A in his life. By my bad influence he got a B and almost killed himself for his failure. We hardly ever saw each other.
2. Fortunately, DW disobeyed her curfew (set at 12) and only realized later that it was not 12:10 but 2 am on our first date when she saw my watch.
3. Afternoon has always been down time.

Omg! I forgot all about that YES! I was taught that, too. If I remember correctly, all stake dances ended so that we all could get home by midnight so big bad Satan couldn't have his way with us.
God I hated that rule. my curfew was always 11 p.m. because of that,

I wonder where Satan got all of this bargaining power. God likes making concessions to Satan, I guess. "If my children don't follow my covenants they will be in your power Satan. You will have more power over them when they are in the water. I will also give you increased power over them if they are foolish enough to stay up after midnight. Also, since I want so much to impress you, you can do anything you want to Job just to show he will still be faithful. And at the end of their lives, if they have had sex with the wrong people, or didn't jump through my hoops, or didn't believe in me, you know, like kids are supposed to love their Father no matter what, so if they didn't love me you can just have them, forever. That will show them."

I was always told: "The Spirit goes to bed at midnight."
Oh sorry, didn't realize the spirit was on a timer. Don't ghosts come out MORE at night? lol

Midnight is when God turns off the Celestial X-Box.

I always learn such interesting things from you all!! I've never ever heard this before. Sounds like each generation (or area??) has their own random beliefs.

I think it is more individual GAs have their pet beliefs.

Midnight by what standard time? And from midnight to when? It's like Santa traveling the world at midnight Christmas Eve. Makes no sense. But if they are foolish enough to believe that very vague belief, then what can I say?

I'm usually in bed by then....and the cheap SOB doesn't even give me erotic dreams anymore...so I would say NO!

Was taught it by my dad on one single night, the one night my friends wanted to go fishing up near Kamas. He lectured on for half an hour about how bad things happen after midnight, how people change after midnight, how people let their guard down after midnight, blah, blah, blah, and when he was done he said I was old enough to decide for myself. I went fishing.

Nothing bad happened, I didn't drink any alcohol, smoke cigarettes or even any weed. The worse thing that happened is I saw a flash of panty when she lifted her leg and was wearing shorts. Considering where I worked at the time, I had seen things far worse. With all the beer and smoking and sex going on there, it was a non-issue for me.

"Only bad things happen after midnight"


....well then, what time was it when that (FUCKING) Angel MORONI was pestering PERVERT Joseph Smith by continually waking Joe up through the course of the night?

STUPID ASS MORmONS

The idea of a supposedly eternal being, who never sleeps, wearing a watch and keeping track of day light savings time...

Back before time keeping allowed the majority of humans to 'parse' the day, wasn't sunset pretty much the end of the day? And wasn't any hour of the night frightful?

Mogwai: never, never feed him after midnight.

I don't think satan is lurking after midnight, but having retired from law enforcement, I can tell you that all the other shit birds are out. My spouse (also law-enforcement) has an old adage, "Snakes crawl at night!"

My Midwestern mother-in-law, who never even knew a Mormon, often used to say "nothing good ever happens after midnight" to her kids before they would go out at night. I think it may be a common theme among parents trying to keep their kids in line. Mormonism just adds the satanic part.

Now that the gloomy shadow of the earth,
Longing to view Orion's drizzling look,
Leaps from th' antartic world unto the sky,
And dims the welkin with her pitchy breath,
Faustus, begin thine incantations,
And try if devils will obey thy hest,
Seeing thou hast pray'd and sacrific'd to them.
Within this circle is Jehovah's name,
Forward and backward anagrammatiz'd,
Th' abbreviated names of holy saints,
Figures of every adjunct to the heavens,
And characters of signs and erring stars,
By which the spirits are enforc'd to rise:
Then fear not, Faustus, but be resolute,
And try the uttermost magic can perform.—
Sint mihi dei Acherontis propitii! Valeat numen triplex Jehovoe!
Ignei, aerii, aquatani spiritus, salvete! Orientis princeps
Belzebub, inferni ardentis monarcha, et Demogorgon, propitiamus
vos, ut appareat et surgat Mephistophilis, quod tumeraris
per Jehovam, Gehennam, et consecratam aquam quam nunc spargo,
signumque crucis quod nunc facio, et per vota nostra, ipse nunc
surgat nobis dicatus Mephistophilis!

Wow! That is hysterical! Since the globe is turning, it is after midnight somewhere all the time. I guess Stan does rule the earth according to these morons.

People who work nights (like doctors, nurses, fire fighters, police officers etc.) watch out. Stan might tempt you! Oh I'm shaking.

Yep. The Holy Ghost goes to bed at midnight. That was what I was told at Ricks College back in 1986.

We got taught this too in the UK. It made me want to be asleep by midnight. Yet more cult baggage.

My ex-boyfriend's mom used to make him come home before then because "nothing good happens after midnight."

It wasn't quite like that. I was taught that we were more susceptible to him after midnight because we're tired and we could foolishly put our defenses down.
