I saw this same story on TV. The priest claims he thought he hit a deer, but the authorities found out that he was trying to cover up the accident....if he hit a deer, why wouldn't he report it right away?

As far as the flattened molester, it was too easy a death for him.

my daughter and i just love the harry potter books.

Dedalus:

J.K. Rowling might not be a Hans Christain Anderson, as Mr. Bloom in the article seems to point out, but she definitely has got kids reading again.

I have never read The Chronicles of Narnia, that will be the next book that my daughter and I will read together.

My book came this morning.....

front and back pictures of the book....

and it came in the cutest box...

The FedEx guy said, "IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE!"... and I asked him how many he had

to deliver today....and he said about 50 himself. After he left, I thought that maybe I

should have given him a tip....oh well.

We did it -- we're married now!!

june 20th marked a new beginning for me and yourschelbie.. we had a justice-of-the-peace wedding, with just a few family and friends on hand.

the judge did a marvelous job of capturing the essence of the meaning of marriage in just a few minutes.

(and we weren't reminded that serving a publishing company should be the #1 priority in life, lol.).

Fortune Favours The Brave?

by Englishman in

now that you've left the witnesses behind, do you feel that you have become a more courageous person?.

i mean, more courageous than the average person?.

do you find that you can cock a snook at officials and remain untroubled by them?.

Shakita

Also waiting for what "cook a snook" means.

Nah, I'm not any braver because of being a JW. More cynical and distrustful, but not braver. And, if I feel less intimidated by authority, I think age and life experiences has something to do with that.

Ewww...I'm so jealous. Still waiting for mine from FedEx! I have to go to the dentist, better not come while I'm gone!

I have also seen different covers, I thought it depended on what country it was published in.

Predictions for New Harry Potter Book.

by searchfothetruth in

all you adults out there that are waiting as eagerly as your kids for the new harry potter book, make your predictions now.. like everyone else i know, i started reading the first book to my kids and couldn't put it down.

great books that i wish had been written when i was a kid.. but the books are written with a lot of parallels to other famous stories, like lord of the rings and star wars.. j k rowling was interviewed last night on bbc and discussed some of the things in the book, but the main thing was, is that she has killed off one of the main characters.

my guess is...albus dumbledore ( obi wan kenobi ) harry's mentor.. what do you think?

Shakita

I, too, became a fan of Harry Potter from reading the books to my daughter. My daughter and I were talking about this last night before reading the fourth book for the second time before bed.

There are 3 main characters that I can see being killed off without affecting the integrity of future books:

Albus Dumbledore

Hagrid

Neville Longbottom

I thought maybe Draco Malfoy, but his character is too important for future plots. Then, I thought maybe someone from the Weasley family.....I hope not, that would be too sad.

If I had to pick one, I would choose Dumbledore. His character can be killed off and he still can come back as a ghost at Hogwarts, giving Harry advice.

Harry Potter Versus The Watchtower.

by SpannerintheWorks in

jw
friends

does anybody have any wbts literature references that criticize, condemn or warn against harry potter books and films?.

you see, my wife and family (jw) "love" harry potter, and so it would be great to be able to show them how absurd the watchtower society is for condemning harry potter, if indeed it does.

i am assuming the wbts would disapprove of such demonic witchcraft and the like that is contained in the harry potter publications!.

Shakita

The JW's are a "do as I say, not as I do" bunch.

As was pointed out in another thread, the people who can not distinquish between fantasy and reality need to take a chill pill. Harry Potter is FICTION! The same people who condemn Harry Potter, are the same ones who go see "The Ring", "The Others", and don't forget "The Little Mermaid".....chalk full of mythical creatures from the sea!

I have read all four Harry Potter books, and am looking forward to reading the 5th. If God doesn't like it, so what! What's he done for me lately anyhow!
