BERILIA..TUBUL..T.’PHON..JERAKEEN

Graphic novels are bad enough but when they're used as a device to sneak in pagan ideas, they become an abomination. Those are the names of elephants. They stand on the back of a turtle. And on their own backs they carry a world where sorcery is substituted for Godliness and a wizard explores beyond those elephants to examine the turtle's gonads. Just sickening.

THE GREAT A’.TUIN

That's the turtle. But were these names conjured up in a fever dream or is there a more sinister purpose? The hindoo bestiary, the savage totems of Africa, spells, incantations, pointy hats, all clearly presented by Sir Terrence (the author) and clearly designed to oppose God.

	The turtle. (so far so good)
	The elephants on its back introduce an idea cooked up long ago as a vehicle for idolatry and systems of exaltation prohibited by God.
	Hell.
	Mission to "examine" the testudinian gonads. Can't these authors think about anything else?
	Unfortunately, owing to a malfunction etc., etc.

Terry Pratchett, aka Sir Terrence, has written any number of these and no doubt other stuff as a gateway to "fantasy" (perhaps innocent enough, although I doubt that: imagining oneself to be a bird is fine until flight is attempted) but immediately the mythology kicks off and before you know it, family members will be bringing home idols, doing yoga, reading horoscopes and tarot cards, even attempting spells.

This author, whether or not done into graphic art, needs to be on the list.

All graphic novels need to be on the list, unless presenting God's message of our need for Redemption and the only means of Salvation in Christ.

What should we do with the Landover book series by Terry Brooks? Is it supposed to be about your church?

Let's be serious here, Padre Rovagmati. All over the world groups try to use our fame for their benefit. This book is about a magical place that exists only in someone's head. Landover Baptist, Jesus, Hell and Heaven are real.

What should we do with the Landover book series by Terry Brooks? Is it supposed to be about your church?

[MitzaLizalor]

Yes. I think the point Caspian was making is that his was the real world. How would you compare the veracity of Douay-Rheims, which I quote sometimes and in the salient elements of, say, The Ten Commandments there's not a lot of difference?

Perhaps, since there's a profusion of Romist annotation, it's a volume needing to be added to the list. But how do your people regard the Narnia allegories? Are they generally read, or adapted for mime, possibly interpretive dance but from what I've seen of that it's very unlikely to be a unit at Landover's junior Church. Perhaps you could discuss that with one of the Pastors.

Didn't C. S. Lewis write something about a flat earth? or at least a world that was flat, where he set his stories. Do you have a position on Lewis?

“Do you mean to say,” asked Caspian, “that you three come from a round world (round like a ball) and you’ve never told me! It’s really too bad of you. Because we have fairy-tales in which there are round worlds and I always loved them. I never believed there were any real ones.”

Other than the fact that the world of Narnia is different from the Real World, we should not forget that Lewis came from the same Church that invented the King James Bible.

I do reccommend adding Tales from Flat Earth by Tanith Lee, as it promotes things that God hates, such as Demons and Flat Earthism.

Knitters are recreating The Grove by so-called "yarn bombing" in a blatant return to other i.e. non-Biblical ways of knowing. In other words witchcraft.



II Kings 23:4a 5a 6a 7 The king [Josiah] commanded Hilkiah the high priest . . . and he put down the idolatrous priests . . . and he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD . . . and he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove.

Almost certainly there will be astrology involved, just as there was in the groves of old.

ANYTHING written by Barbara G. Walker needs to be banned! Her most dangerous works are on "Feminist Spirituality", but I would recommend banning her knitting guides, as well. You can never be too careful.

Poetry is not encouraged due to its effect on dreamy-eyed individuals who really don't need their morals to be relaxed any more than they are already. Examples might include [LEFT] Allen Ginsberg of the "beat" movement or his Welsh counterpart [RIGHT] Dylan Thomas. As a pair of freaks perhaps they had something to contribute (by displaying themselves at a circus, say) whether or not one got to hear their literary output. Godlessness was the salient feature, as glancing over their stuff reveals in short order. I am not going to include any here. Satan, in the meantime, was not idle. His next movement was the "hippie" aesthetic and another Dylan featured centrally, whose scribblings were presented much along the lines of ancient Athenian lyric poetry, pagan, often sensual, countercultural and utterly without hope.

Here he is doing poetry—for which he won a literature prize—into a microphone while wearing a hat.

By now there've been numerous titles released such as Mixing Up The Medicine, 2023, detailing his "journey" whatever that means. Other volumes to avoid must include The Lyrics: Since 1962, which came out in 2016. It's for the Pastors to decide whether these (there's more than two!) belong on Landover's library shelves but since neither Beat sensibilities nor the Hippie subculture are promoted in sermons, Bible studies, prayer meetings and coffee afternoons, I feel sure all of them will be added to the list.

Is there any reason to not ban any of Marion Zimmer Bradley's books?

In 1962 she published, I Am a Lesbian. All her books must be banned. Actually, they must be burned.

The Latin Vulgata Bible was translated by St. Jerome via his inspiration by God. I don't know what are you talking about.

"St." Jerome and all the others were busy chasing alter boys. I doubt he had time to listen to God.

[Romeo Rovagnati]

Jeremiah tells us about the ancient people who ignored the actual Word of God (the KJV Bible) and, as a byproduct of their disgusting "translation" of it into Vulgar Latin, created the cult of Catholicism.
