    ...Then what else should a JW parent forbid under the same rationale? (i.e. Jehovah hates magic)

    I started a mental list and it boggles the mind. Here are a few things I thought of:

    1. The Iliad and the Odyssey by Homer

    2. The King Arthur stories (Howard Pyle and others)

    3. The entire Oz series by L. Frank Baum

    4. The entire Narnia series by C.S. Lewis

    5. The entire Middle Earth series by J.R.R. Tolkien

    6. Alice In Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll

    7. The entire Earthsea series by Ursula Le Guin

    8. The entire Riddle-Master series by Patricia McKilip

    9. The entire Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling (No surprise there..)

    10. The entire Shannara series by Terry Brooks

    11. The entire Chronicles of Prydain series by Lloyed Alexander

    12. The entire Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan (James Rigney Jr.)

    13. The entire Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix

    14. The entire Song of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce

    15. The entire Thomas Covenant series by Stephen Donaldson

    (Feel free to add to this list)

    Anybody who doubts that JW's have a book-burning, anti-intellectual streak in them simply does not know these people

    I saw it mentioned on another thread, that Disneyland would be off limits. I remember being a kid when Star Wars came out, we could not go see it because the force was magic and we all know where magic comes from...

    In regards to Disney, I wonder if it is a question worth posting on a JW DB board.

    I know in the 80's there was a bit of of reluctance in having children view the classic Disney videos that had witches etc. Of course, none more violent than "My Book of Bible Stories."

    I can't wait to see how this plays out.

    Stupid f****g religion.

    Dagney, I agree with everything you said except you left a "*" out of "Stupid f****g religion".

    Cheers,

    The rational of a JW parent is non existent,

    once you enter into the Magic kingdom you might as well have

    seen star wars. Disneyland is not the kingdom of God

    it's the Magic Kingdom
