Who on earth is scotty? I got it on July 11. So helpful, aren't I? No, it's just that Mr. Pfefferle needed a video of himself teaching a class, so they invited a bunch of us to come be a class and he said it then.
nah its not my place to judge an its not like i think their really bad or anything i just kinda hav a permanent grudge aginst harry cuz in school id get alot of "are you harry potters sister" or somthin like that so after the frst bazillion times i promised myself that i wouldnt help his career, but if you want to than more power to ya we just cant be friends anymore.... jk
I heard that girls with a lot of confidence scare guys away because they are too scared to talk to them. (but that's just what I heard) But I think you have to be confidenct and sure of who you are before you're ready for a relationship.
So it's between Sarah Casis and my Aunt, from which Vanima heard that guys don't like confidence. I think both are valubal sources, but I tend to agree more with Sarah Casis. But over confidence could be a bad thing... but I don't think your over confident, Megan.
anyway im gonna be gone for like two weeks so i will tok to yall later and im gonna be havin surgery a week from tmorrow so you should all cum visit me when i get home. luv you guys! ttyl
Bye, Megan! We'll miss you! I'll pray that your surgery goes well. I suppose maybe it would depend on the guy. You know how some guys are scared of a girl cuz she's so pretty? She can't even help it! So I think some guys are just scared that they're not good enough for the girl. Since when have I given in to peer pressure? Why on earth would I not read it? Besides, I've already read all the books so it's too late.
It's not that I don't like Harry Potter... just that my parents will have nothing to do with it and they have basically said the same thing for me. I hardly know what it is... it's just about a boy who goes to witch school??? Honestly I'd probably like the story just not the magic. And if Rosie wants to read them and God hasn't said no to her then I think it's fine for her to read them. Although I've never read them and don't really know how much witchcraft and stuff is in it.
And just because the majority says one thing does not mean it's right... there was a time when it was common to believe the earth was flat and if you believed something else you were the odd one out.
Just one more thing... as odd as this sounds I just like to debate... so I'll argue for a side that I don't believe in just for the sake of having a good debate. And I like to look at it from all sides... so yeah.
ok its on! lol.... but really God doesnt just tell specific people yes or no, His rules apply to every believer. and in the Bible witchcraft is spoke of as an abomination which is the worse sin.
furthermore if you say well i would never do witchcraft or i dont believe in that stuff but still read about it you are opening your mind to the things that you shouldnt and so your defense is slowly brought down. im totally not saying that rosie and all the people who read harry potter are going to get all interested in witchcraft but you are opening your mind to things that you should block out. like the saying "what cums in must cum out" thats kinda what happens when you start accepting things. bcuz then where do you stop? im not trying to nag you or mother you or anything but i strongly believe that you shouldnt accept or show interest in those things and if my belief isnt good enuff then the Bible will tell you what the Lord thinks about witches and spells and all that stuff. but in the end just do what you think is right i gess.
Wow, you all posted a lot while I was gone! Warning: what follows might sound argumentative, so please forgive me--I mean to debate, not insult! And yeah, debating is fun, though I tend to lose, and I know what you mean, Beautiful, about arguing for the other side to make it fun! OK, first in reply to Megan's comment about smoking: the situations are totally different. I already read all the books so the damage is done in my case, while in the case of smoking, it's ongoing. However, if you persuade me that it is wrong to read Harry Potter, I will not read the last book. OK, now for the debate: The Bible does say witchcraft is wrong (Exodus 22:18, Leviticus 19:31, & Leviticus 20:6). So if somebody started doing magic in the real world, like Wicca for instance, that would be wrong. But I think that J.K. Rowling's books are justified because it's fantasy. There are SO many books out there about magic and everything--do you believe Cinderella's fairy godmother should have been put to death? Oh, no, you've watched the movie, opening your mind to that stuff! (Sorry for the sarcasm.) So I think that as long as everybody who reads the books knows that this is only a fantasy, we're OK. About the opening one's mind to sinful things: I totally agree. That is something to be very careful about. If you do manage to persuade me that it is harmful to read Harry Potter, then I won't. Thanks for the concern. But I don't really think there is any danger. There are even good lessons in the books--Harry is fighting against evil, using love. And about things being wrong for everybody, well, there is a passage about the weaker brother (1 Corinthians 8), but then again, what's wrong is wrong. I bet I beat your long post, Megan! Post back as soon as you can! By the way, where did you go?
ok.... witchcraft is not fantasy! and battling evil with love thats like saying theres "white witches" or something. see your already trying to soften witches and what they do. theres no such thing as a good or white witch. everything about a whitch is satanic. in the Bible witches were stoned. that is why there is a big difference btween the fairy godmother and hairy potter. fantasy is not real - witchcraft and spells are. try not to confuse the two. and i repeatedly sed that i didnt think harry potter was harmful i just sed that it warms you up to and justifies witchcraft and the real evilness behind it like you sed yourself that its just fantasy but it is so not. and you may be thinking that i dont no cuz ive never read it but i did in fact read the first book and stopped about 2 chapters later cuz it was really bothering me. also about a month or so ago i read a poll in people magazine (i still have the magazine- somwhere- if you dont believe me) that they did on teens that sed almost 75% of the teens that saw the movies and read the books became more interested in wicca and spells but agin im not saying it will harm you im just saying that its probly wiser to guard your heart then become interested in those things. and agin- where do you draw the line? but whatever. if you wanna read them- go ahead- but now you no wut i think of them. and i luv you rosie and i hope i didnt sound too defensive and argumentative.
I don't want to take either side... I just want to debate (in other words I'm going to say stuff for both sides)
I wasn't allowed to watch many of the Disney movies because they had magic in them and my Mom didn't want me to get confused when I was young.
I think certain things are always sin... murder is always sin (although what about wars? God told the Israelites to kill entire peoples in the Bible) I just mean... well, I'd say it's wrong to kill people, but in some cases it's not wrong.
I think the only potential problem with Harry Potter is the want to do witchcraft and stuff. For a young/"baby" Christian that could be a big problem... but maybe if you are strong it's not such a big deal... if Aletheia knows that witchcraft is wrong and she never wants to have anything to do with it then it might be ok for her to read it.
Then again, sometimes it's best just to stay away from anything questionable...
So what about Lord of the Rings? that's full of magic and wizards... is that wrong too? There are lots of things to love about LOTR and I do love it. For me the focus is not on the magic it's on the friendships and stuff... I could care less if it had magic in it or not, that's not what matters to me. I think when Tolkien wrote it his focus was not on the magic either, and I think that makes a huge difference. It's hard not to get caught up in magic if it's on every other page...
If Aletheia's focus (and the author's) is on the magic (not suggesting that it is) then yeah, it would be wrong for her to read them. But if it's about friendship and not about magic... then I think it's probably ok... Obviously I don't really know... I've never read them so I can't really say what the book's focus is on.
I think that's really interesting, what you said about 75% of teens warming up to the ideas of Wicca and stuff. I had no idea. For me, the books are merely fantasy. You see, it's not like Rowling is suggesting people do magic. She's making up stories about how the world would be if there was magic in it, if God had made it like that. It's just like LOTR or Cinderella. And I must say, I do not see the difference between fairy godmothers and Harry Potter witches. It's just the name that's different. They both have magic wands and do spells. Everybody knows it's just fantasy. I think the problem comes because Rowling's books are set in modern times; they're believable. So people find it easy to believe in and desire a magical world. It would be totally wrong for them to try to make one using Wicca or whatever, but Rowling's witches didn't sell themselves to the devil to get their magic; in her books the world was already like that. It was a power given to them just like the power we have of planting a garden or building a house. I'm not sure I'm making sense... Here, let's take it from a different angle. I'll bet there's something you've always wanted to do--fly or climb walls or be magically healed or do all your chores by saying a single word or something. If you actually had the power, it would be magic. But is it wrong to just wish you had the power? I think that's how it is with Harry Potter. Of course, people are going to wish they could wave their magic wands and be able to fly or unlock doors or even just skin potatoes, but it's not like they're going to actually think it's possible. I think there's more danger in just how Harry lies to his authorities right and left. And that's evil that comes all over the place; that has nothing to do with magic. I do realize the Bible commands that witches be put to death, so in the real world, anybody that tried to do magic would be absolutely wrong. And I agree, the books do make one wish they could do magic. I see how it might be dangerous for some people to read. I'm tempted to say, "Well, I would never be tempted," but it is possible, of course, there are a lot of things I never realized I was in danger of doing until later. I do want to guard my heart. OK, to Beautiful, I think that's really interesting about the Disney movies. I can see where your mom was coming from. If Harry Potter is dangerous, so is Disney, like I said. (And LOTR.) But yeah, maybe it's only dangerous for young Christians. But I don't want to expose myself, however mature I may be. That seems foolish. Like you said, stay away from anything questionable... Well, have a good trip, Megan! You still didn't tell me where you were going.
hi. thanks vanima. i cant sleep. i gess im just kinda nervous about my mom or somthing. i havnt read any of the previous comments but i noticed a superduper long one that had LOTR in it so im assuming yall were still tokin about harry potter. i dont think we should tok about that anymore since we all hav diffrent opinions about it we should just do wut we think is rite. i dont no wut my problem is i gess im just kinda stressed since my moms all sick and im sposed to go in for surgery on sunday. im sorry if im bugging yall with my big load of stress but im just kinda overwhelmed at the moment and at this time of nite this is the only place i can vent myself. geez this really sucks im wide awake but i no i could just drop at any moment. im not reading wut im writing and im probly not making alot of sense so no one has to say anything about this comment but i just kinda need to get it out. wow this must sound really sappy and retarded and i never really like people to no about my problems so this is weird. its also gonna be the sixth annaversary since my dad passed away really soon so im kinda feelin that too. wow do i hav a load of crap on my shoulders or wut...? i should get like a diary or therapy or somthing so i dont unload everything on you guys hehe. isnt this wut we should do though? like tell everyone wut we're feeling so we could like help each other or somthing? i dont no maybe thats just me and maybe its way deep but it sounds nice. .... i just read wut i wrote and its like the most out of charachter thing ever. im gonna post it anyway cuz i dont want you all just thinkin im a drama queen or somthing i want to have good reasons to be prayed for i gess. rosie i need you to tell me somthing cheerfull im like cryin over here! so this is probly the sappiest thing youve ever read but it kinda felt good to write it out. have a good day evryone i may not be on for awhile cuz i gotta be givin my mom some tlc. but yall should visit me in the hospital or when i get home or something. so gnite/morning?
No, no, it's fine... and I sort of get how you feel. I would get like that a lot... and it's a good thing that Ribbons is so patient because I used to tell her everything like that and sometimes it wasn't even that bad! But your stuff all sounds really hard. If you feel bad posting on the blog (which you shouldn't, we all need a place to go) then you can e-mail me, ok? bj_scgl@yahoo.com
I'm sorry about your Dad... I didn't know. And with your sergery and Mom sick it's a lot to handle. I'd suggest giving everything over to God and trusting that He'll take care of everything. Then I suggest not worrying about it. I'm praying for you. :)
Hi, Megan!! *gives biiiiiig hug* I love you!! I've already sent up an arrow prayer for you & your mom, though I hope she's better by now, and I'll continue to pray for you. Thanks for posting that. It's really good to know when somebody else has problems. For me it makes me feel like there's somebody else who has it too! Thanks for that. And, yeah, I'd kinda rather talk over email, cuz everybody reads this blog, but believe me, I have tons of problems, too. And I know what you mean about saying/typing something and being like, wait, that isn't me! I do that a lot in my diary--which, by the way, I would recommend. But all of the weird personalities are part of your character. OK, cheerful things: I love you! God loves you! He has everything under control, no matter how worried sick you are. It's a beautiful sunny day! Here's another big virtual hug: O What day are you getting back? I'll come visit you! Love you!
And Michael, you stink. Just when Megan needs help! Of course, you wouldn't know that since you didn't take the trouble to read her post. >:[ (How do you get a smiley to stick out its tongue angrily?)

megan i really will pray for you. and if you call me or have aim i could talk to you more, but i do not go no the blogs that much anymore so call me up if you want.

Wow, too many anonymouses! Please translate, whichever anonymous you are: gihmng sieg whaicty! :? That so stinks that people can pollute other peoples' websites with sick stuff on the internet! I suppose it's a risk we'll always have to live with. The picture did appear when I deleted the comment, but I covered my eyes before I could see what it was. Sorry if you had to see it. Thanks, Megan, I'm praying for you! Oh yeah, I could call you at the hospital... what a good idea.
This is the most popular blog. It's impossible to keep up with it. But look! Michael's back! Don't know where he went, but he was gone for a long time. So hi!
As of March 2007, Touche welcomes ForevereternalMike as a contributor! Aletheia is very happy to have someone to help handle the many quotes. Thanks, Michael! And as always, anyone is free to post. You don't even need a blogger account.

I just finished the Half-Blood Prince today.
Isn't it gorgeous and sunny? Praise the Lord!

yup. uh-oh, I feel another discussion brewing.
nah its not my place to judge an its not like i think their really bad or anything i just kinda hav a permanent grudge aginst harry cuz in school id get alot of "are you harry potters sister" or somthin like that so after the frst bazillion times i promised myself that i wouldnt help his career, but if you want to than more power to ya we just cant be friends anymore.... jk
Oh, I see. That stinks. People at Covenant don't say that, do they?
ya they do but its ok (sigh) its a burden i must bear forever...
whered you go chuck?
Hm... I wish he'd said "if you want to lose weight live at your computer"... :P

Ooh! Late reaction, but I just realized that you won't have to bear your burden forever, only until you get married! yup. Look on the bright side.
no im cursed to be single till the day i die too... but nice try
Oh, now we really have to have a discussion. That is ridiculous. Why on earth would you think such a thing????
Sarah C says confidence is the best thing you can have if you want to attract people, anyway, so don't say such things.
than maybe im overconfident. hehe
im totally bushed! me an my mom hung out today and just got home and i hafta wake up erly and im goin to bed! gnite
I heard that girls with a lot of confidence scare guys away because they are too scared to talk to them. (but that's just what I heard)
But I think you have to be confidenct and sure of who you are before you're ready for a relationship.
what a contradicting post... :P
hmmm....
i think that sarah c knows what she is talking about
Ah, there you have it from a guy.
and yeah scotty died
ya.... so wuts up chuck?
So it's between Sarah Casis and my Aunt, from which Vanima heard that guys don't like confidence. I think both are valubal sources, but I tend to agree more with Sarah Casis. But over confidence could be a bad thing... but I don't think your over confident, Megan.
I don't do Harry Potter either, Megan. High five!
sweet!
If I had to make my best guess I think that guys would like confidence but not TOO much...
And we don't do Harry Potter either.
wow this is so cool ive never seen so many people at one time not like Harry Potter!
see rosie its three aginst one so i think that you should stop reading Harry Potter.
wuts so good about them anyways?
anyway im gonna be gone for like two weeks so i will tok to yall later and im gonna be havin surgery a week from tmorrow so you should all cum visit me when i get home. luv you guys! ttyl
Bye, Megan! We'll miss you! I'll pray that your surgery goes well.
I suppose maybe it would depend on the guy. You know how some guys are scared of a girl cuz she's so pretty? She can't even help it! So I think some guys are just scared that they're not good enough for the girl.
Since when have I given in to peer pressure? Why on earth would I not read it? Besides, I've already read all the books so it's too late.
hey im back for a second. so if you started smoking and ur friends asked you to stop whould you say you couldnt stop cuz uve already started?
and one little reason that you wouldnt read them is bcuz its all about witchcraft!
i gess this is our little discusion about harry potter- just a bit delayed.
now i really hafta go but ill try to cum back bfor my surgery and say goodbye.
It's not that I don't like Harry Potter... just that my parents will have nothing to do with it and they have basically said the same thing for me. I hardly know what it is... it's just about a boy who goes to witch school???

Yipe! that didn't look nearly so long!!! I had no idea!

Here, let's take it from a different angle.

If you actually had the power, it would be magic. But is it wrong to just wish you had the power? I think that's how it is with Harry Potter. Of course, people are going to wish they could wave their magic wands and be able to fly or unlock doors or even just skin potatoes, but it's not like they're going to actually think it's possible. I think there's more danger in just how Harry lies to his authorities right and left. And that's evil that comes all over the place; that has nothing to do with magic.
I do realize the Bible commands that witches be put to death, so in the real world, anybody that tried to do magic would be absolutely wrong. And I agree, the books do make one wish they could do magic. I see how it might be dangerous for some people to read. I'm tempted to say, "Well, I would never be tempted," but it is possible, of course, there are a lot of things I never realized I was in danger of doing until later. I do want to guard my heart.
OK, to Beautiful, I think that's really interesting about the Disney movies. I can see where your mom was coming from. If Harry Potter is dangerous, so is Disney, like I said. (And LOTR.) But yeah, maybe it's only dangerous for young Christians. But I don't want to expose myself, however mature I may be. That seems foolish. Like you said, stay away from anything questionable...
Well, have a good trip, Megan! You still didn't tell me where you were going.
Wow, LOTS of words. I'm sorry, but I don't have time to read all this...
That's a pity Ribbons... you just missed a debate about Harry Potter, witches and LOTR (sorta)
And Aletheia, you're making perfect sence to me :)
just here to say hi and please pray for my mom- shes in the er w/103 temp dehydrated and puking her guts out. ttyl
OH. Wow. I'll pray.
hi. thanks vanima. i cant sleep. i gess im just kinda nervous about my mom or somthing. i havnt read any of the previous comments but i noticed a superduper long one that had LOTR in it so im assuming yall were still tokin about harry potter. i dont think we should tok about that anymore since we all hav diffrent opinions about it we should just do wut we think is rite. i dont no wut my problem is i gess im just kinda stressed since my moms all sick and im sposed to go in for surgery on sunday. im sorry if im bugging yall with my big load of stress but im just kinda overwhelmed at the moment and at this time of nite this is the only place i can vent myself. geez this really sucks im wide awake but i no i could just drop at any moment. im not reading wut im writing and im probly not making alot of sense so no one has to say anything about this comment but i just kinda need to get it out. wow this must sound really sappy and retarded and i never really like people to no about my problems so this is weird. its also gonna be the sixth annaversary since my dad passed away really soon so im kinda feelin that too. wow do i hav a load of crap on my shoulders or wut...? i should get like a diary or therapy or somthing so i dont unload everything on you guys hehe. isnt this wut we should do though? like tell everyone wut we're feeling so we could like help each other or somthing? i dont no maybe thats just me and maybe its way deep but it sounds nice.
.... i just read wut i wrote and its like the most out of charachter thing ever. im gonna post it anyway cuz i dont want you all just thinkin im a drama queen or somthing i want to have good reasons to be prayed for i gess. rosie i need you to tell me somthing cheerfull im like cryin over here! so this is probly the sappiest thing youve ever read but it kinda felt good to write it out. have a good day evryone i may not be on for awhile cuz i gotta be givin my mom some tlc. but yall should visit me in the hospital or when i get home or something. so gnite/morning?
posts...too long...brain...hurts. make...stop
No, no, it's fine... and I sort of get how you feel.
I would get like that a lot... and it's a good thing that Ribbons is so patient because I used to tell her everything like that and sometimes it wasn't even that bad! But your stuff all sounds really hard.
If you feel bad posting on the blog (which you shouldn't, we all need a place to go) then you can e-mail me, ok? bj_scgl@yahoo.com
I'm sorry about your Dad... I didn't know. And with your sergery and Mom sick it's a lot to handle.
I'd suggest giving everything over to God and trusting that He'll take care of everything. Then I suggest not worrying about it. I'm praying for you. :)
Hi, Megan!! *gives biiiiiig hug* I love you!! I've already sent up an arrow prayer for you & your mom, though I hope she's better by now, and I'll continue to pray for you. Thanks for posting that. It's really good to know when somebody else has problems. For me it makes me feel like there's somebody else who has it too! Thanks for that. And, yeah, I'd kinda rather talk over email, cuz everybody reads this blog, but believe me, I have tons of problems, too. And I know what you mean about saying/typing something and being like, wait, that isn't me! I do that a lot in my diary--which, by the way, I would recommend. But all of the weird personalities are part of your character.
OK, cheerful things: I love you! God loves you! He has everything under control, no matter how worried sick you are. It's a beautiful sunny day!
Here's another big virtual hug: O
What day are you getting back? I'll come visit you!
Love you!
And Michael, you stink. Just when Megan needs help! Of course, you wouldn't know that since you didn't take the trouble to read her post.

That so stinks that people can pollute other peoples' websites with sick stuff on the internet! I suppose it's a risk we'll always have to live with. The picture did appear when I deleted the comment, but I covered my eyes before I could see what it was. Sorry if you had to see it.
Thanks, Megan, I'm praying for you! Oh yeah, I could call you at the hospital... what a good idea.
Oh, hey, Michael. long time no blog.
