Everyone with kids and/or grandkids needs to be aware of this one.


The Golden Compass
-----
Please check out the link. It is scary stuff.
You may already know about this, but I just learned about a kids movie coming out in December starring Nicole Kidman. It's called The Golden Compass, and while it will be a watered down version, it is based on a series of children's books about killing God (It is the anti-Narnia). Please follow this link, and then pass it on. From what I understand, the hope is to get a lot of kids to see the movie - which won't seem too bad - and then get the parents to buy the books for their kids for Christmas. The quotes from the author sum it all up. I'm going to tell everyone about this movie.

I've forwarded this to everybody in my addressbook...

Thank you so much for preventing a huge mistake on my part.

God bless you.

I too have forwarded this info to all I know and asked them to do the same. No one should support such garbage!

You all can check out "The Seeker: The Dark is Rising" instead this winter. It's another fantasy movie, (and the first of a trilogy) but this time, the Light is actually portrayed as something good, and the boy in the movie fights against the forces of darkness. It's made by the same studio that filmed the Chronicles of Narnia. I've done a review/comparison of the two movies on my blog, see

A Tale of Two Movies (part one) (part two)

honestly, the idea of killing a god is cool, and an interesting concept, just killing THE God, is what turns me away from this book/movie/possibly Game

I'm starting to see the previews for it on television. We don't watch much of it so if I'm seeing them for the short time it's on I can only imagine how heavily it is being promoted.

Now it's taking over the homepage of myspace. I know myspace isn't exactly the best website but I do use it to communicate to family and friends who live far away. I share photos of my kids their and even blog my opinions sometimes. Now I'm not sure if I should remove myself from the website or stay. Part of me thinks I should stay and start blogging and sharing my experiences and faith with others, and that if I leave then it would be like running from adversity. The other part of me says I shouldn't have anything to do with a company/website that receives funding from a movie that is based on killing God. HELP!

Stay on there and be a light.

Let's not forget to pray for this guy Pullman who wrote these books from which this movie comes. He just asked for it! Imagine if 20 million Christians started praying for him! He might become the next Saul of Tarsus! Otherwise, we know what it says about causing little ones to stumble...

As for the "Death of God?" Psalm 2:1-4 "He that sits in heaven laughs"

I'm surprised throughout history how many people have worked very hard to try to prove the Bible wrong...and ended up becoming Christians because after studying the facts, they saw the truth.

YES! We've started praying for him at both of my prayer groups and I'm adding him to the top of my list! When you come to a Christian website and bring up a topic like this and you are reminded to pray for a person like Pullman it makes it very clear that you are truly among Christians! Thank You and GOD Bless You!!
