I have not said that the Bible condemns Harry Potter, you have fabricated the
assertion from your factory of assertion fabrications, I have said that it condemns
spiritism, sorcery, casting of spells, again, i have not said that I do not condemn it, I
have not seen it, so how could i condemn it, you have fabricated the assertion from
your factory of assertion fabrications. again, before you fabricate another assertion,
I have stated that the Bible condemns the man who loves violence, and that
according to the dictates of my conscience, i could not watch it.

This type of post is reflective of the type of poster you are FMF, you simply fabricate
assertions and attempt to base arguments upon your own fabrications and then you
have the audacity to talk of 'forum responsibility'. This is the reason FMF you should
refrain from getting personal with people, Karma gets you every time.

No fabrication. On page one. The question of Harry Potter was raised. And you said "the Bible condemns that stuff". You quoted Deuteronomy 18:10-1. No fabrication. Later, you even explicitly disagreed with Rajk999's stance that 'it isn't condemned if it's fictional'. No fabrication.

The trilogy contains 'some virtue', seeing how you haven't watched the films in 35 years you'll have to take my word for it.

For robbie [because i have a feeling you are going to let it slip by]: Can all JWs cast themselves as "umpires", if they want to, in deciding when to agree with Biblical condemnation and when not to?

This was your answer to my question about whether you believe that the Bible condemns "sin'-related stuff being portrayed in films. Obviously you think it does. The portrayal of "spiritism" in Harry Potter is in the same category, is it not? And yet now you say you didn't say the Bible condemns that stuff. It doesn't add up, robbie.

Yes. But this does not square with what he says on this forum 90% of the rest of the time.

that stuff referring to spiritism, sorcery, casting of spells, fabrications on a gargantuan
scale FMF. Please produce the explicit statement where i have stated, according to your
own words, 'the Bible condemns Harry Potter', and anyone can see, that you have been
caught, fabricating mere untruths with which to substantiate your now smouldering
claims!

Well, I asked you:

"Can the Bible also be used to condemn a fictional work that portrays a murderer getting away with his crime or one that portrays an adulterous relationship in which those involved are happy or one that portrays a homosexual person positively?"

And you said "Murder, homosexuality and adultery are all condemned in scripture, whether the matter is fictional or otherwise is neither here nor there..."

So, be clear. You reckon the bible condemns the fictional portrayal of murder, homosexuality and adultery but now you are claiming that it does not condemn the fictional portrayal of "spiritism, sorcery, casting of spells" in Harry Potter?

He is still not understanding the process. An umpire when he renders a decision, he
looks at a number of factors, line, length, pitch of the ball, etc etc, its exactly the
same process that a Christian uses to discern whether entertainment is suitable for
them, they weigh up their knowledge of Biblical principles and try to ascertain how it
reflects upon Gods standards and the dictates of their own consciences. To state, or
attempt to state as FMF has done, that its simply a meter of accepting or rejecting on
some arbitrary basis, is a nonsense.
