This part got me to thinking Dawn. Using the word practice, you infer an attempt to learn. Whereas most children use them to pretend. My 2 year old, will take golf clubs and pretend they are swords. He’s also seen bits and pieces of iron man, and will run around pretending he is shooting something from his hands.

He also watched the last airbender, picked up a towel and started swinging it around like he was bending air.

Now, Ironman draws his power from technology. The Last Airbender, I’m assuming draws his power from the elements. Harry Potters is supernatural I guess.

So, buying those toys or not children are going to pretend. We adults sometimes forget how amazing the imagination of a child is. So, I don’t see any practice of the occult if my child were to pick up a wand and pretend to cast a spell that he knows is not going to have any effect. Neither is it going to bother me if he picks up a stick and tries to do the same thing.

Much like I use to play Hank the cowdog, I knew taht I’d never be a dog or have dog like abilities. But, I was allowed to have my fun.

That’s great!

Hopefully, when your children are in High School, like ours passed through-their friends won’t get “bored” and, for the heck of it, want to learn something about Satanism.

Been there-done that. Our childrens’ friends, not our children.

This is why I encouraged everyone who is not familiar with the subtle enticements everywhere-to read “Beware the Night” by Ralph Sarchie and “Hostage to The Devil” by Malachi Martin.

And now, Father Euteneuer’s “Exorcism and The Church Militant.”

Gear yourself up-as it is coming. Even in the small town we live in. The internet has opened up a whole world of possibilities.

Beware.

God Bless you.

Indeed.

Going by Dawn’s paradigm we ought never read our children Mother Goose, 'cause Geese can’t talk. If they do, it’s only by power of the Dark Side!

Ouch! That really hurt-your personal jab.

You know, I didn’t say anything about Mother Goose.

Deceptive!

Okay-well, have a Blessed and Holy Day, All.
God Bless you.

And that’s where common sense and good parenting come into play. My children will not have internet in their room, the computers in my house will be on lockdown during homework time, they will be protected from adult content.

And hopefully, between things like FFA, baeball, basketball and softball for my daughter to be born in a couple of weeks. They will not have time to think about stupid things like that. And if I do my job right, they will see them as stupid things as well and not think about satanism when they are bored.

But as Sarah Palin found out, it doesn’t matter how good of a parent you are, children can and will always find a way around parents. So if any of my children get into trouble, I’m not going to be embarrased by it or wonder where I went wrong. I’m just going to chalk it up to a stupid mistake that my teenager made using his/her own bad judgement. Live and learn, we can’t lock them down completely no matter how much we would like to.

Pretty hard to prove don’t you think Reservoir Dog? However, it was said of Charles Manson that the Beatles song “Helter Skelter” was the thing that pushed him over the edge, isn’t that so?

Excellent point! Faithful Catholics should not allow their children listen to The Beatles! 😉

Great! I was waiting to see how many posts it would take on a topic wholly unrelated to Sarah Palin for her name to be mentioned on the thread. 😃 👍

LOL

Over 500 posts, which is much better than the Bush name drop which usually occurs on the first page, if not within the first couple of pages.

And it was totally apolitical. 😃

And, don’t forget Hitler. Sooner or later, der Führer’s name will come up on any thread, though it might take a bit longer than most. 😛

Yes, it is usually preceded by Obama’s name though. 🙂

Yes, and last but not least there’s the priest sexual abuse scandal that always seems to get brought up even if the topic is “The History of Felt in the Catholic Church.” 😃

You can make fun if you like. Maybe you would think differently if you had a family member pulled into the occult.

I know multiple practicing wiccans and my own niece was pulled in for a while.

I’m not saying that if you watch or read Harry Potter that it will happen, however these things create little cracks in our armor that allow satan in. Especially in children / teens that may not have sufficient faith and exposure to the sacraments.
 
And it includes the following disclaimer on the front cover: “This book has not been prepared, approved, or licensed by any person or entity that created, published, or produced the Harry Potter books or related properties.”

Exactly. People always seem to forget the primary motive for these things: Money. People see a chance to make oodles and oodles of money and they jump at the chance.

On the other hand, that person has a high chance of getting the pants sued off them (Yay for the American Lawsuit, I mean Legal, System :p)

Rowling has been especially vigilant against people infringing her intellectual property rights. Many, many lawsuits and some innovative injunctions.

Is that particular Harry Potter book one of them?

Show us the proof.

If so, even Amazon.com (along with any other book seller) would be liable.

God Bless you.
