consiglieri Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 I am pleased to announce that last Monday night, I finished the new Harry Potter book at 12:20 a.m.The day before (Monday) I was in court, proudly sporting my green Slytherin rubber bracelet and an attorney acquaintance of mine registered shock and asked if I really read that stuff, advising me that it was "Satanic."He said he doesn't let his kids watch that stuff. I asked if he lets his kids read that stuff?He said no.He assured me that he and his kids agree that it is Satanic.__________Next morning (Tuesday) I saw the same attorney in another court and told him that I had finished reading the new Harry Potter book the night before, and that after reading every word in it, I could assure him that it is not Satanic.To that, he had no response.All the Best!--Consiglieri

consiglieri Posted July 27, 2007 Author Posted July 27, 2007 Maybe he was concerned that you belong to Slytherin, evildoer.As well he should be, inasmuch as I am a criminal defense attorney.But I had Slytherin on my right wrist, and Ravenclaw on my left.I would have had Gryffindor, but my 10-year old got first dibs on it.All the Best!--Consiglieri

Matthew J. Tandy Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Just watch the jesus camp video about Harry Potter to understand their views. In a way I can understand where they are coming from.... but then I remind myself life and literature isn't meant to be taken seriously all the time.Harry Potter is denounced at Jesus Camp
emeliza Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 I finished on Wednesday and it was a good book. Only a tad bit Satanic....
urroner Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 There is a family in my ward who refuses to let their children play D&D since it's an absolutely satanic game that will destroy any who play it, but they let their children play all sorts of war and sorcery games on the computer and they have played "Magic" for years. They went to see all of the "Lord of the Rings" movies as a family and they love watching "Cinderella" and "Snow White" with their grandkids.What is wrong with that picture?BTW, the last book was an awesome book and I truly hope that it isn't the last. I always loved Snape.
consiglieri Posted July 27, 2007 Author Posted July 27, 2007 Just to rub salt in the wounds, I also told the attorney that Harry is a Christ-figure in the last book.

Bill “Papa” Lee Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Lets see...witches...warlocks...spells...disembodied spirits. Although I don't think it is a big deal. What qualifies as "Satanic"?Pa Pa
consiglieri Posted July 27, 2007 Author Posted July 27, 2007 I always loved Snape.My wife loves him, too. And especially Alan Rickman. I am starting to get a wee bit worried over her obsession with Snape.But Snape ends up being one of the most tragic figures in literature. Beautifully done by J.K.Oops! I forgot it's Satanic. Nothing good can be said for it.All the Best!--Consiglieri

Matthew J. Tandy Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 I have a friend who won't watch or read the Lord of the Rings or HP because they are Satanic, but her favorite show is Charmed. Go figure.
Doctor Steuss Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Those who are inherently evil rarely have the ability to recognize Satanity (did I make a new word?) when they read it.Satanic all the wayâ?¦ I thinkâ?¦Maybe not.
Bond...James Bond Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 I'm just glad my bi-annual Satanic indoctrination comes in such a wonderful story. Viva La Diablo!

Therefore, according to logic, my mom was innoculating her little chrildren with SATAN!!! I guess that's why I don't see the harm in them... I've been possesed from my youth.

Need I say more? Is "associating" defined so broadly as to include posting on a thread started by a lawyer?
Matthew J. Tandy Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Great... I should have stayed away from this thread... I haven't had the chance to read the last book yet and now I know more than I wanted.
Bond...James Bond Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 If it glorifies God, then it is of God. If it doesn't. Then it is not.I do alot of things that aren't "of God" then....washing my hands...brushing my teeth...paying bills....driving.....
