Walt Disney should be exposed and avoided by Christians. Not because I like exposing everything in the entire world as being demonic/evil, but because they pump out trash to the world. In other words, their fruits show they are wicked(Galatians 5:21-23). Not only that, the world LOVES Walt Disney! And we know how God sees the world:

"If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." John 15:19

One thing you may not realize is that gay day has been held at Walt Disney, Orlando FL since 1991. They are very proud of this(see for yourself-http://www.gaydays.com/). Homosexuality is a sin(Romans 1:25-27). Why are so many professing Christians happy to participate/associate with Walt Disney when Walt Disney CLEARLY showcases homosexuality as fun and something to be proud about? Maybe you never knew until now.

Also, I would like to expose some of the godless filth it produces and how it can corrupt the minds of children and anyone who watches them. I'm not going to expose every show on the planet from Walt Disney, but I will expose some shows so you can see the tip of the iceberg.

1)Narnia- showcases witchcraft and occultism. Witchcraft is a sin(1 Samuel 15:23, 2 Chronicles 33:6, Galatians 5:19-21). Also, another example of wickedness, Tumnus who is pan(the god of sexual lust in mythology), only the tip of the iceberg.

2)desperate housewives- showcases fornication and other sexual depravities. Unbiblical(Hebrews 13:4)

3)Hercules-blasphemies the gospel. The song "gospel truth" is wicked to the core, brainwashing kids to hate the truth of God's Word. How can "mythology" be anything near "the gospel truth"?

4)Evan Almighty-blasphemies God. The line "God thought it would be funny" is utter foolishness and blasphemy to God concerning the great flood( God says exactly the opposite in Genesis 6:6-7).

5)Tarzan-portrays man as an ape. Brainwashes kids into believing evolution. The creation of man(Genesis 1:27) and other animals in Genesis show man and animals as something completely different.

6)Lion King-portrays many New Age wickedness and various unbiblical themes. King Mufasa tells his son in a vision "Look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars. They will always be there to guide you... and so will I." Nothing more than spiritualism and new age. "circle of life" is New Age to the core which is evil(Deuteronomy 18:9-13). This show tells us to "look inside" for wisdom and guidance, but the Lord says otherwise(Judges 21:25, Proverbs 2:6).

7)Casper-portrays occultism and fantasies. God says otherwise(Philippians 4:8)

8)Matilda-portrays magic, vengence/violence towards enemies(eg: Ms. Trunchbull), etc. Magic is wicked as evidenced in Genesis 41:8 and many other places. Vengence towards our enemies is sin, in fact God says for us to pray for those who would slander us/persecute us(Matthew 5:43-45).

There are COUNTLESS other movies that I could expose as being wicked and anti-Christian. What more evidence do we need to discern a bad tree? Walt Disney is wicked to the core. All the filth and worldly movies being spewed forth by this money making machine is not only destroying our kids, but teaching the newer generations of people, lies from the pit of hell. Walt Disney makes money at the expense of harming the world through its garbage! Walt Disney loves, supports, and praises gays! I hope and pray that us Christians will take a stand against such evil and avoid such filth!

"Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?" Psalm 94:16

"Ye that love the LORD, hate evil..." Psalm 97:10

"Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good." Romans 12:9

"Abstain from all appearance of evil." 1 Thessalonians 5:22

"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." Ephesians 5:11

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." Phiippians 4:8

I'm not saying the television is evil. I am saying there is a lot of godless filth on TV. Hollywood is saturated with wickedness too. They promote more fornication, violence, disobedience, pride, etc...Than almost any other company! I was a fool for EVER watching Walt Disney shows!

"And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. " Romans 1:28-32

Oh puh-lease! So why don't we just go back to the stone-age. How about we live like the Amish or the Exclusive Bretheren and not have television or the internet for that matter, because it's evil!

Give me a break! In all honesty, I think you are just looking to post controversial topics... and quite frankly it's getting annoying. These things require discernment as Christians.. if something isn't wholesome... well yeah don't watch it. eg: I think Family Guy is trash... so I choose not to watch it, and if I had children, I wouldn't allow them to watch it either.
However, I do not think Cinderella, or Mickey Mouse, or Pluto, or Donald.. are going to corrupt anyone. I watched them... and I'm fine!

I see the point you think you are trying to make.. but it's a tad extreme. I mean to parallel your point about Gay day- Sydney, Australia hold a Gay& Lesbian Mardi Gras every year... now I think that's filth... and I don't condone it, nor do I watch the televised forecast of the event, but it doesn't mean I never go to Sydney or associate with it. Otherwise where exactly do you draw the line...should I then have switched off my television for the entire 2 weeks during the Sydney Olympics in the year 2000, purely on principle that it's held in that city? Do I avoid taking flights that stop through Sydney? Do I not purchase a product manufactured in that city?
Do you see the point I'm making? You are going off on tangents that are just ridiculous, and at the end of the day of no importance to our salvation. Let's not get ourselves caught up in arguing over stupid, petty, things that don't matter, and lose sight of the bigger picture eh?

I wonder how Roaring would react if a homosexual-loving, catholic, chronicles of narnia, harry potter, lord ofthe rings, passion of the Christ -watching, non-OSAS , Walt Disney-loving, post-trib rapture believer gave him a big hug and kiss.

I agree Ira. The world is going to do worldy things, that's expected. However, when there's little distinction between the church and the world, all of the sudden everyone wants to point the blame at everyone and everything else except themselves. It's past time that we stop pointing the finger at the world for all of the problems that the church is facing and take a long hard look into the mirror.

Where do we start? By stop preaching that a person can live like hell and still be saved. Jesus had a term to describe people like this and it wasn't "carnal christianity". In fact Jesus called them "double minded". He also stated that it was impossible for a person to serve two masters and that people like this would never inherit the kingdom of God.

It's past time the church takes responsibility for it's actions. Stop preaching compromise!

I agree. I'm not saying compromise. We do however have to reside on planet earth, and whilst we are doing so we can't confine ourselves in a little box. We are to be in the world, but not of the world. There is a difference!

***runs up to roaring and gives a big hug and kiss.***

*under the condition that this means homosexual-loving in the "love the sinner, hate the sin" kind of way.

On the note of the general idea of this thread:

there are many things which are terrible in this world that we all come in contact with or support indirectly.
McDonalds promotes homosexual culture through support of gay-rights group. I believe Pepsi Cola donates or cotributed to planned parenthood in someway (which in turn funs abortion). With the way corporations are set up, I'm sure that almost every product we buy, in some way, contributes to some cause that each of us would never in a million years advocate because it flies in the face of our Christian upbringing and morallity. Think about how half the stuff we buy (if not more) has "Made in China" printed on it. Guess what? It was probably made by children or very very poor adults under very inhumane working conditions for an unfair wage. Such conditions are an insult to human dignity and God as it treats human beings who have been made in God's image as disposable resources.

Does this mean that we should not try to avoid unneccessary things that very blantantly go against our faith? No, we should be wary of what we expose ourself and our children too, of course. I have a very difficult time seeing how the Lion King or Tarzan is going to lead to the decay of morality in Western Christian culture. If these movies can do that, then maybe they can also seriously convince our children that animals talk. Then, of course, our paranoid youngsters might kill all the animals because they may be talking and plotting against them. What I mean, is, if kids are smart enough to realize that animals don't talk and sing like in Disney Cartoons, then maybe they are smart enough to know that "reality" in one movie does not equal actual realiy, i.e. when Mustafa talks to Simba from lion-heaven, our kids just might be smart enough not to take that as a concrete Christian teaching on the afterlife.

I'm supprised that All Dogs Go to Heaven wasn't on the list...

I am a mom. I totally get and understand what you are posting here. I also totally get and understand the importance of allowing your children to have an imagination. I allow my children to dress in costume and trickortreat at halloween. I explained to christian 8 that some christians dont like this as they feel its a time about witchcraft & worshiping satan. He said but mom, we arent worshiping satan. I told him that to me, as long as their costumes dont reflect witchcraft or satanic symbols i have no problem with us going to the pumpkin walk and receiving candy from our local merchants... all the kids cut a pumpkin and about 1000 of them are lit up and on display at our local park. people from neighbouring towns come for this and all of the local public schools participate. I instruct my child as to Gods truth and seriously he rejects what is fantasy as fantasy. he watched brother bear and kept saying thats just wrong mom thats not true. and I told him yeah, its someones imagination at work there... kinda like a coyote ordering blasting supplies from amco to kill a roadrunner... why not just order a bucket of chicken if it was meant to be logical. Anyway, last week i sat christian down he's 8 1/2 and told him the bad news about santa and the easter bunny. he smiled. I told him i in no way ever wanted him to question his belief in Jesus & God & that i thought it was time he knew. I told him I allowed him the experience of believing in those things to give him an amazing childhood but he needed to know the truth at this point because this it the time when kids start debating it and i didnt want him debating a lie. My son prays for his friends, he ministers to his public school friends and has had times where the children openly say negative things towards God. Christian said to his old bf, that he prays that one day he will accept Jesus & this friend said something very blasphemous. Christian immediately rejected him as his friend but keeps him in his prayers. so, basically i think what i'm saying... if we give our Children a deep rooted daily fellowship with the Lord, make him a part of your life, not just sunday & pray for them, they will reject alot of the garbage that is put in their faces on a daily basis. I dont think there is anything wrong with letting them watch chronicals of narnia... they know this is not reality and no, they are not going to become witches & warlocks and hang out in wardrobes hoping the back will open up because we've seen this movie. Harry potter on the other hand... dont know why i feel differently about that , but we dont watch that & we also dont do the video game thing... we play outside... he can play video games at his friends houses as long as they are rated E. Oh... on a separate note, I had a "Jesus Freak" key tag and my son told me "mom get rid of that"... I said why? he said its bad and I dont think Jesus likes it. So I did. Upon reflection I thought, yeah, we claimed that label and made it our own but does it really sound right?? maybe not, at least not to fresh little 8 year old Christian ears. Anyhow I absolutely love Jesus & so does my little 8 year old in spite of seeing Narnia & brother Bear. And as for my 4 year old... well as i was typing this he made me a cross out of paperclips to put on my bulletin board. Attack me for this if you want but I will continue to raise my children in this way because they are a couple of the most spirit filled amazing children and i dont think allowing them immagination and wonder has done them wrong. Blessings to all of my friends raising children in this world its a tough job. And perhaps future posts in this thread should be from people who have children or have already raised children because truly they can relate.

I just watched like an old 'best of goofy' episodes...and they are hilarious...I also love Pluto.

If you want to attack Disney, you got to go for the core...and claim that to be rotten if you believe so.

You have to attack Mickey, Donald Duck, Daffy, Goofy, Pluto, and Minnie...and proove them to be evil...which is practically impossible...

The old Disney cartons are the best....

ps..if Donald ever flirts with Mickey or Goofy, then I might be suspicious...

I agree that Disney as it now stands promotes a world view that is not healthy for our children. It was my understanding, though, that Walt Disney was a Christian man (don't quote me). He loved children, and I think he would be horrified at what his company has become since his death and turnover in management. I wasn't aware, I guess, that Narnia was produced by Disney. I like the Narnia series. There is a distinct difference between CS Lewis books and Harry Potter.

Many of us allow the world in our lives, thinking that it doesn't affect us. How many have done so and found out that what seems innocuous sucks us into a life of degradation and sin? I am thinking of alcohol or porn as an example. Remember, whatever you put in your path in front of your eyes will block your view of Jesus. Sometimes, it will "turn" to the right or the left, maybe in very small, almost undetectable increments, until before you know it, your eyes are completely off of Jesus and you are off the straight and narrow path. I love the children's song "Oh Be Careful Little Eyes What You See". It applies so much more for us adults!!!!

As the Holy Spirit resides in us, try to think of Him being with you everywhere, seeing what you see, hearing what you hear, etc. Is it something you would be proud to show Him?

Stay strong, everyone. This world is becoming progressively more evil all the time, at an alarming rate. We need to continue to pray for each other and build each other up.

I have a weblog page that also has a place to contact me for prayer requests. I would love to pray personally with anyone who would like to contact me.

We can blame Disney, Warner Bros. or who ever but the real truth here is that church has no one to blame but themselves. The American church has a lazy, self centered form of christianity where our answer for everything is to toss money at it. Yet when it comes to actually getting up and doing something for the Lord, if it doesn't fulfill some sort of personal ambition, it's not going to get done.

Self centered christianity, or what I like to call "casual christianity" has rendered the church impotent in this day and age. Churches need to stop preaching against the church found in the book of Acts and begin to model themselves after the church found in Acts.

*sigh* I think it's really sad that we've gotten to a point where we're seeking darkness wherever we THINK it is instead of asking God to reveal things to our hearts. Instead of boycotting the entire world for it's evil ways (which if you REALLY dug deep you would have to do because I have no doubt that most of the companies that produce pretty much everything you see eat hear and use have some link to something that you would find unwholesome in some way) why don't we get on our knees and ask God to protect our spirits, and to enlighten us to anything that might affect our relationship with HIM. Don't you think God has the power to do that??

BTW I love the disney movies - I grew up reading some of the stories you so easily dismiss, and I loved the idea of good over powering evil. It also introduced me to the idea of a spirit world, which the bible clearly describes, and portrayed to me some very good Christian moral values (such as telling the truth, and honor, and family) As an adult I am collecting my favourite disney movies for when I have children, and when and IF God tells me that a movie is not good viewing for me and my family I simply wont buy it. But I'm not going to boycott all Disney movies just because YOU say so....I let God decide that one thanks.

As a parent I also would not go to Disney, was in Europe for 3.5 years and did not go to Euro Disney either. I kind of agree with Imnotashamed with the fact although I do not know Walt's religious beliefs but I think he would be deeply disappointed in the way Disney does a lot of its business now. As far as the movies i always prescreen anything I have any doubt about. Narnia I can't see anything that bad about but like stated earlier the Harry Potter series my kids havent seen a one. Shark Tales I would not let them watch because I think it refrences to homosexuality. Anyhow although you cant stop supporting everything in the world, if they blatently flaunt thier support of evil then I will not support them. As a Christian i think part of being Christ like is to try to do as close to what you think Jesus would do if he was here as possible. On a last note the movies that get the dove approval, there are so many good ones that have good Christian messages and are very well made and great acting now Christians really have a choice to support good Christian movies instead of the hollywood filth.
