J K Rowling was interviewed on UK TV a few months ago, she thought it was incredibly funny that people should take the books so seriously. She said that all the spells were from her imagination. I have heard real witches say that the spells are made up! I would prefer my kids to read Harry...

Aussie if you are sick of hearing about Harry Potter, I respectfully ask why you bother to post on this thread? I don't think HP has anything to do with true witchcraft anyway. The spells are made up and great fun, where is your sense of humour? I reckon if Jesus was on earth today he...

messenjah I agree with Iyosh The Harry Potter books are just stories and jolly good ones too. Most kids love to read about witches and wizards etc and how many of them grow up to practice witchcraft because of those books? Very few, if any. If you ban children from reading books of which...

You make a good point. However, the Jewish accent as it is portrayed on films, has much more to do with the European countries from the Jews came from, than anything that originated in the Middle East! :D

Seriously, if you are bored why don't you do some voluntary work, you would not be bored for long!!!!

One I like a lot was an announcement in a church magazine for a missionary evening 'Come and hear Bertha Belch all the way from Africa'! A friend of mine from Canada, made me howl with laughter when she related this story against herself. Last week she was to attend a dinner for helpers at...

Most of the pictures of Jesus portray him as caucasian when of course he would have been of middle eastern appearance. A reconstruction of what Jesus' face may have looked like, was done using a man's skull found in the holy land, and dating back about 2000 years. This was for a documentary...

Jesus seems to have been a lot more tolerant than some of the people posting on this forum!

You cannot pretend that homosexuality doesn't exist! Whether people like it or not, many kids have parents who are in same sex relationships and you can't marginalise those children. A show that talks about the topic is probably a good thing. I personally find the idea of homosexuality not to my...

In the UK the decision is usually handed to the courts if parents are seen to be unreasonably withholding medical treatment, like a blood tranfusion for a young child. If the child is old enough to make the decision for themselves, the courts are sympathetic, if they feel the child understands...

I have heard that dolphins can be agggressive! I saw that story on our news in the UK the other day. I don't suppose our animal problems are any weirder than ones you get in other parts of the world!

Although it wasn't very funny at the time, I have laughed about it over the years. I was a tom boy and loved driving cars and riding motor bikes. I was 15 years old, there was a karting track near the beach. I was encouraged to have a go by some friends, I was only wearing a bikini and a crash...

All four Harry Potter novels, I read all of them in four days, I just could put them down!
