I received this e-mail in response to the new movie "The Golden Compass":

I had a dear friend send this to me. Please
consider.............Jim
The growing idea for many atheists is to convert people to their
way of thinking. On December 7th, 2007 the movie, The Golden
Compass, will make its mark, as the author of the series of books put
it, to kill God in the hearts of our children. The Golden Compass,
or The Northern Lights in the UK, is part of a trilogy of books
written by Phillip Pullman, a devout atheist. These books are
written to show, in his words, the other side of the picture. The
trilogy entitled, His Dark Materials, ends up with the two main
characters finding God as a fraud. The Authority is the name given
to God in the books and in the last book, The Amber Spyglass, found
to be a senile, old, decrepit man that is carried away by the winds
after his death. Our plea is for God-fearing people to make a stand
and not allow this movie to prosper.
We ask you to help us by doing two things: 1) Forward this e-mail
to everyone in your address book and let all be informed and 2) We
invite you to join us, not in a loud demonstration, but in a silent
movie theatre. The weekend of December 7, 2007, we are encouraging
all Christians to boycott all movies at your local theatre. We are
asking that for the entire weekend (Dec. 7-9), you not attend, rent,
or purchase any movies. Hollywood understands one thing for sure:
money. We, as a body of believers, can show Hollywood that although
we are quiet, we still have strong voice. My hope is that the silence
in the theatres will be deafening to the producers, actors, sponsors,
and supporters of movies like The Golden Compass.
On December 7th, 1941 the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and began
the events of World War II for our country. I find it ironic that
this movie will be released on the same day. If this movie succeeds,
the second movie is ready to be produced and the atheistic teaching
will continue to infect our children! I pray that we will, as a body
of believers, let our voices be heard. God needs us to be His voice
and speak out boldly!

I have already talked to our children about this movie and thank the good Lord they are not into these types of movies or the Harry Potter stuff..they made me proud when I told them their friends might be talking about seeing this movie and they would not be able to go..they would rather watch a veggie tales and have popcorn...with their mom and dad then go see it...

I guess they had already heard the downside to this movie...

I have an online site that has them for a reasonable price I'd be interested in that. Our family loves board games too. I bought several at yard sales this summer...good prep items to have...they don't require batteries and can be played under candlelight! :wink:

(Off topic: Has anyone ever played "The Worst Case Scenario"? board game? I thought about getting that for the family for Christmas.)

I will not spend a dime on movies this weekend. Actually, we probably only see 4 movies per year. That is about all that comes out worth seeing. Fortunately my kids want nothing to do with this movie or any of the Harry Potter stuff.
