Eh, Harrison Bergeron does that much better. I wonder sometimes how I came into that book!
You “Harry Potter is the Devil” people are ridiculous, and you NEVER have the facts straight. You ALWAYS make up garbage and try to pass it off as the truth. Harry repeatedly shuns gaining personal power.
I wondered why The Sound of Music wasn’t on there too.
I guess they don’t consider it a kid’s movie.
That’s interesting, because the lady that wrote those books is a friggin’ loon.
Toy Story 3 is a great and reminded me of Animal Farm, on a level intended for children and enjoyable for adults.
The Prisoner was redone last year...at one time all 17 episodes were online somewhere. Check Wikipedia for descriptions.
Sorry, but it is YOU who are ignorant of the dangers of this movie. But, carry on your love affair with the occult. Its none of my business.
I rest my case. Therein lies the deceit - to label it fiction. However, you may carry on with your love affair with the occult. Its none of my business, but, it is God’s business, and HE has the ultimate say. You must be truly ignorant of the wiles of the devil, and from reading your post, I’d say that you are.
I don’t have an opinion of them because I haven’t seen the movies. However, some dismiss the Narnia movies as not exactly Christian family entertainment.
By all means then, enjoy your toe-dipping into the world of the occult. The author has read many books on the subject and fashioned her stories from some of these areas.
Hey, enjoy the deceit that is Harry Potter! You can defend it all you want, but, it is occult material. Children don’t necessarily see the good and evil. What they DO see is that they want magical powers.
Subject your household to anything you wish. None of my business, but, people used to say the same thing about the OUIJA boards - that they were harmless fun. When you crack open the door to the devil - you invite him in. He always uses deceit and that is how he entraps people.
But, hey carry on your love affair with the occult - none of my business!
Many parents, regardless of their faith, may not wish to have their children read about evil non-physical beings who drink the blood of animals to gain power. But the books are marketed to children ages 9-12. For Christians in particular, the acclamation given Harry Potter’s world should be extremely disturbing.
Might Harry Potter seem as real as life to his young fans around the world? Do children accept Harry’s lessons in practical witchcraft as an open door to an occult reality? Many Christian leaders have denied any such danger, but author J.K. Rowling admits that this happens. In an interview with Newsweek’s Malcolm Jones, she said...
“I get letters from children addressed to Professor Dumbledore [headmaster at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the books’ setting], and it’s not a joke, begging to be let into Hogwarts, and some of them are really sad. Because they want it to be true so badly they’ve convinced themselves it’s true.” (-Malcolm Jones, “The Return of Harry Potter!”, Newsweek (Online), July 1, 2000, page 4.
