I spent 10 years with Jehovahs witnesses and never really fitted in - mainly when it came to what I chose to read to my kids. I introduced my kids to Narnia and at 22 and 24 they still love the stories. The Chronicles of Narnia are on the banned books of JWs because of the Christian content (which I dont particularly see - given the amount of pagan content in it)

I think it odd that children were banned from the narnia adventures when they looked like they were growing up - I am guessing CS Lewis had a problem with the 'growing up' thing. I still love the stories and have bought my 22 year old a childrens version of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe for Christmas - Annie doesnt read but she will appreciate the wonderful illustrations. As to what I think the stories represent - I understood that Aslan represents Jesus, and God is represented by 'The Emperor over the sea' - the witch is Satan (I would say temptation as I dont believe in Satan) and I havent got a clue who the children are meant to be - but the books would be a bit short without them. In case anyone is interested, my favourite Narnia book has to be The Silver Chair as the antics of Puddleglum always cheer me up

Oh dear - I havent been coming onto this site for long - if I send 100 posts really quickly and you all still love me can I register? By the way - I have 400 perfect points - whats that about?
