Tinkerbell a witch?

[Can Do (Phil 4:13)]

I've been wondering about telling Fairy stories to my kids, but I'm not too comfortable with it. Is my heart leading me the right way? Are fairies another dillusionary introduction into witchcraft? Is Tinkerbell another way to take our kids off the Right Road?

What do you think? By the way, I am NOT suggesting that Tinkerbell IS a witch, it was a suggestion of the topic.

Hi Faithie,

I know I don't see any good in anything but are there good witches and bad witches? NO. And what was the story about? A rebellious boy who didn't want to "put away childish things" whose name is forever linked to "Pan" the greek god most associated with Satan.

Read the bible to your kids. It is not fiction and is adventuresome enough if you read it as such. A children's story bible is better than fairy tales.

Hey, isn't Mary Poppins a witch?

[Trinity]

Your guys read into to many things... Tinkerbell a witch? No a fairy mythical being having diminutive human form.

Mary Poppins is not a witch... she is a mythical being. Mythical means not real, Just for fun.

Next time i see a fairy ill tell you, but untill then don't worry about it. Its not a witch its a fairy.

1. A witch is a person that has supernatural powers who is an aid with the devil.

2. A Fairy is a mythical being having diminutive human form.

See the difference? One is fake one is real.

Trinity, I agree with you. But I would like to express caution here as Tom Cruise's acting career started with a movie called Legend. I watched it and many characters were refered to as fairy's. Unfortanetly the devil himself was also a character in this movie. It was good fairys verses the evil ones movie. I shut the movie off as it had deep tones of evil laced throughout the movie. Is'nt it better to stick to things that are real and good ? I would say focus on things that are true of this world and positive. Anything that is fake does not have any value... Faith if you are not comfortable with reading them those stories, "Don't " Movies and books that depict fairy tales truly have no value. Thats my take. Hope it helps..

In His Peace, Michael

Why not check out the Christian bookstore, or websites for stories aimed at little kids? Im sure they have some that are based on Christian principles, and are wholesome. The bible would be a preferable read as well, but if you are going to read fictional stories to them, better to have Christian values in them than to have tinkerbell et al.

And in so doing start new traditions that will point our children toward Jesus Christ instead of away from Him as much of the present traditions have done.

Can I still watch Snow White and the Three Stooges?

I say we have a good old fashioned book burning. We could all run down to our local libraries and confiscate all children's books containing faries, talking animals, elves, mythological characters, and folklore.

Of course, we'll need to focus in on some of the classic authors of children's stories too, like Anderson's fairy tales, Mother Goose, and Grimm's fairy tales. We can't afford to be picky either, mind you, we have to get rid of C.S. Lewis' books. After all, there are witches in his stories too!

No more "Where the Wild Things Are," no more "Peter Pan," no more "Wizard of Oz," and no more Caldecot or Newberry award winners. They all must burn! After all, we're saving our children from the pollution of the "Liberal Satanic Children's Bookwriter's Association"! Don't you know that for the past 500 years there has been a vast conspiracy to pollute our good little Christian boys and girls with this liberal Satanic propaganda?

Seriously, saints. Think about this one. How far away do you think we are from this: http://fcit.coedu.usf.edu/holocaust/gifs/01622.gif
