Great post Greybeard
Makes no sense to take away a toy that represents magic from a child
then turn around, and take the child to the magic kingdom
JW parents are just slap damn crazy HYPOCRITS
How many Witness children watch the Disney channel, between every commercial break
there's an actor with a magic wand makin' the outline of mickey
I knew a number of JWs who attended all three LOTR movies and loved them. I have read both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings to Witness children and adults as well as the works of C.S. Lewis (I had roommates who absolutely loved Out of the Silent Planet). The Witnesses were amazed not only at the stories themselves but how beautifully written they were. Of course, we're talking about people who have had virtually no exposure to any kind of great literature and excellent writers. Many had never read Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dickens, Twain, Hemingway, Dickinson, Austen and others.
What was especially sad about those who went to the LOTR movies and afterwards obtained the DVDs was the fact they felt they had to keep all of that secret. All most Witnesses knew about Tolkien's works was that they involved "magic" of some kind and so should be put on their personal "banned books" list. I understand, however, that quite a few Bethelites smuggled copies of Tolkien into Bethel and avidly read him whenever they get a chance.
Walt Disney was named "The Entertaner of the Twentieth Century" by Time magazine. More than 500 million people have visited Disneyland in Anaheim, California since it opened in 1955. Yours Truly has gone more than once and I plan at least one more trip before I die. His movies inspired me as a child, and I still remember bursting into tears when I heard on the TV news that he had died on 15 December 1966. All my mother could do was hold her ten-year old son in her arms while I sobbed inconsolably.
All the WTS knows to do is condemn anything it doesn't think of. The Society seems to especially fear creativity and intellect it cannot harness for its own narrow-minded ends. No wonder it regards fantasy, imagination, curiosity and independent thinking as dangers, because for it these things are definitely qualities that are unwelcome in its rigid and unbending view of the world.

Between LOTR and the Magic Kingdom, I will have a field day with friends and family. Both are very liberal with all this stuff-- they always thought it was just the nutters who bought into that nonsense. Evidently, the nutters include the GB.
With this video, it's an argument they can't win. Either what the GB says is TRUE and you need to rid magic from your life, or what they are saying is FALSE. You don't want to make the GB SAAAAAD, do you?
Yes Quendi,
The WTS fear creativity and intellect, It seems Walt had the power to " Inspire "
the minds of all who visit the Magic Kingdom ( Witnesses included )
And yet, the WTS states :
" They hold to the bible as the standard for all their beliefs"_______Reasoning book page 199
And Yet
" Witnesses do not claim to be inspired "________Reasoning book page 136
The JW's feel, sayin' they are not inspired , separates them from bein' false prophets
Looks to me the only Inspiration Jehovah's Witnesses get is from the Magic kingdom
BTTT
I wonder if this is their introduction to a total ban on entertainment. First, start with the Sparlock. Next, expand that to anything that includes "magic". Disney Land is included here. Additionally, all Disney films feature some magic--or enough so they can generalize and use it to ban them all. From there, expand to all theme parks. Then, add additional toys and games (Smurfs). Eventually, the witlesses will be afraid of doing anything except necessary work, boasting sessions, field circus, and associating with other witlesses according to what the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger wants. After all, entertainment makes Satan happy.
Not that I give a fxxx. I feel that if something so simple as humans living happily makes Satan happy, so be it. That is just one more sign that Jehovah wants us all miserable, and that living forever under him would be infinitely miserable. Better to live with Satan, who wants me happy (assuming those fxxxing angels don't keep throwing themselves in the mix, blocking all communication between me and Satan, and/or second-guessing everything I want), and die rather than live forever with Jehovah. If he is that much a snotty loser, he can take his tyranny and shove it. And he can take his Jesus and shove him--Satan, the one that originally attempted to liberate us from Jehovah and actually walked the walk, is my Savior.
@ WTWizard,
Sorry if this is a stupid question, It is my take that you are an athiest, is that true? I'm just curious thats all...
I guess I'll have to stop using Miracle Grow on my plants. It's very evil.
There is no point they are BOTH organisations created and controlled by illuminati as people controllers and moulders of thinking.
Hey Jake,
Miracle grow is alright to use, Miracles are from God,
Magic is from the Devil, which is a phenomenom that can't be
explained by natural means, you know, like a miracle ( staff of moses turned into a snake )
Hi Jake:
I guess I'll have to stop using Miracle Grow on my plants. It's very evil.
It's not any evil inherent in Miracle Grow; the problem is the salt build-up it fosters (if I correctly understood the explanation given at my nursery). They carry the product but do not recommend it.
