I remember when Harry Potter was first screened, a colleague went around the office passing our flyers urging all not to watch that show or read the books as it was satanic and it promotes satanic practices. He even went on to telling us that the author was the devil incarnate.
I remember some churches banning the books when they first came out. -

That include Vatican. Some church even ban their members to watch the movie.[/quote]Haha, yeah I remembered this also. You ban people from doing something, the more they will be curious. That is why nowadays churches prefer to educate and engage their members instead on important issues. -

\" The total sum of $50.6 million that the five conspired to cheat the church of makes the City Harvest case the biggest financial scandal involving a registered charity. It eclipses the $12 million that the National Kidney Foundation sued Mr T. T. Durai and three others for, and the $50,000 unauthorised loan Ren Ci hospital's Ming Yi was jailed for.
if found guilty, he could be jailed for life.\"

\"Prosecutors shed light on the alleged misuse of City Harvest Church funds on Wednesday morning as it brought church founder Kong Hee and four senior church members to court on charges of criminal breach of trust and falsifying accounts.
They were said to have diverted $24 million of the church's building fund to finance the music career of singer Sun Ho, who is Kong's wife. This was said to have been carried out through a series of purported bond investments in two companies, Xtron Productions and PT The First National Glassware.
The prosecution believes that the investment were sham transactions. $13 million was diverted to Xtron, with the remaining $11 million of church funds going to the other company.
Deputy Public Prosecutors Christopher Ong and Grace Goh told a district court that not only had they allegedly diverted $24 million through questionable financial transactions, some of them had conspired to misappropriate another $26.6 million of church funds to avoid scrutiny.
'It is the Prosecution's case that these further monies were circulated... to create the false appearance that the purported sham bond investments had been redeemed, when in fact the 'redemption' had been financed using these further monies misappropriated from church funds,' they said.
Supporters shield Kong Hee and argue with media outside courts
