=======================================

Dear Friends,

I received this info from Sr Janet Wang, ex-Principal of St Anthony's Canossian Convent, now Head of the Canossian Chaplaincy Team. The information below is a very important warning for our teachers, parents and children about this film.

There will be a new children's movie out in December called 'The Golden Compass'. The movie has been described as 'atheism for kids' and is based on the first book of a trilogy entitled 'His Dark Materials' that was written by Phillip Pullman. Pullman is a militant atheist and secular humanist who despises C. S. Lewis and the 'Chronicles of Narnia'. His motivation for writing this trilogy was specifically to counteract Lewis'symbolisms of Christ that are portrayed in the Narnia series.

Clearly, Pullman's main objective is to bash Christianity and promote atheism. Pullman left little doubt about his intentions when he said in a 2003 interview that 'my books are about killing God.' He has even stated that he wants to 'kill God in the minds of children'.

Don't let kids see 'The Golden Compass'.

While 'The Golden Compass' movie itself may seem mild and innocent, the books are a much different story. In the trilogy, a young streetwise girl becomes enmeshed in an epic struggle to ultimately defeat the oppressive forces of a senile God. Another character, an ex-nun,describes Christianity as 'a very powerful and convincing mistake.'

In the final book, characters representing Adam and Eve eventually kill God, who at times is called YAHWEH. Each book in the trilogy gets progressively worse regarding Pullman's hatred of Jesus Christ.

'The Golden Compass' is set to premier on December 7, during the Christmas season (and staring Nicole Kidman), and will probably be heavily advertised. Promoters hope that unsuspecting parents will take their children to see the movie, that they will enjoy the movie, and that the children will want the books for Christmas.

Please consider a boycott of the movie and the books. Also, pass this information along to everyone you know (including church leaders). This will help to educate parents, so that they will know the agenda of themovie. I am sending this to those of you who have kids or friends with kids, grandkids or have influence with kids.

I have checked it out at http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/compass.asp and it is true. Read the info on the link.

So many things today are darkness concealed in what appears to be innocent.

PASS THIS ON AND LET'S HELP STOP THIS MOVIE DEAD IN ITS TRACKS!!!!

Shalom (May God be with you),
Francis
=======================================

Personally, I find this a little freaky. As in, I'VE WATCHED THE TRAILER MYSELF. And it SERIOUSLY looks really exciting and interesting, and bears much resemblance to Narnia. But I've heard from MANY church friends that this movie is INADVISABLE TO WATCH. It is seriously bad, especially to Christian kids.

So please, DO AVOID WATCHING THIS MOVIE.
