What I was trying to point out was that the GN's, numerous Family "spirit stories" that are written for the sole purpose to strengthen whatever "message" is coming out at the time... is all taught as FACT. Remember "Eager Beaver"... when Berg ranted about only telling FACT to our children. So, the Family Care people had to stop any fiction from being made and only put the so-called truth out... the Mo Letters, the supposed "message of god"!
Harry Potter is a writ of fiction... and not supposed to be believed and put into practice... it is a literary production... nothing more!
Even the "Left Behind" series is a fictional story... only based on some people's interpretation of the endtime events... but it's fiction. The rows of Christian fiction written for the edification of Christian readers is still only that... fiction.
I guess since I'm an avid reader, I read EVERYTHING that the Family put out... we weren't supposed to get any kind of worldly imput from the library. So, to satisfy people like me, they started a campaign to have people pray for "spirit stories". These spirit stories had to be believable and based on Family truths... strange truths, as you know.
So, I hate to offend any Harry Potter fans... just to make a point... the Family is still MANIPULATIVE AND DECEITFUL!
