As a Christian and bible teacher I am pretty well known in many nations. I have done work in Israel, Canada, The United States, El Salvador, India and Ceylon. I served as a missionary in The Philippines. And I have experienced some of the most astounding Supernatural events, witnessed kwa hundreds of people all over the world.
A swali that has come up zaidi than a few times is why I watch The Vampire Diaries so much. "How could you, as a servant of Christ watch that show?"
For a long time even I did not understand why I was so taken kwa the show. There is quite a bit of blood and gore. And yet week after week I found myself racing nyumbani to watch it. Especially after the introduction of Klaus and his family. Wow! Finally this summer I found the answer. Actually I discovered that there were two reasons I really enjoy the show.
The first reason is The Vampire Diaries is a classic genre, no different than King Arthur, Troy au the story of King David. Every classic of this genre has three elements.
There must be a hero au heroine. There must be a villain au great challenge to overcome and there must be a princess au beautiful lady to save. Romance has always been essential to a great story.
The Vampire Diaries has all of these elements and much more. In some ways wewe could say that there are two heroes; Stefan and Damon, depending on how wewe view Damon. Klaus and Katherine would certainly be the classic evil villains and of course Elena is the beautiful maiden that we all want to rescue.
My sekunde reason is I really identify with the characters. Stefan is what really attracted me to the show.
Stefan is this really cool guy, the classic hero who like David and Samson has this constant battle against his dark side. And in my own life I have learned how uchungu, chungu and difficult that battle can be. And like so many Heroes of the past Stefan is willing to sacrifice everything for his true upendo the beautiful Elena Gilbert.
Damon is like this no nonsense, in your face guy who would be a great warrior in any time period. And yet he can be as romantic as any man could be.
And then wewe have Bonnie who uses Supernatural power to help her friends. If we combine all of the above with fantastic story lines, excellent scenery and some really beautiful women like Caroline and Rose. Well what zaidi can I say!
Should a Christian watch The Vampire Diaries? I expect it would depend on your point of view. As for me the Characters have aliyopewa me a great deal of inspiration.
Now I just need to find the Elena au Caroline in my life!

Katherine was sitting on a chair. A row of small stakes pinched each arm to the arm-rests and a special kind of muzzle kept her mouth shut. The muzzle also had stakes, smaller than the arm stakes, and they pierced through Katherineâs jaws. âIâm sorry for the inconvenienceâ Veronica alisema demeaning. âActually, Iâm not. wewe had this coming. wewe broke in here, wewe threatened meâ She took a chair and put it down in front of Katherine. âSuch a pity Derek chose the wrong side. If he hadnât Damon Salvatore would be sitting inayofuata to youâ
Katherine managed to produce a smirk.
âOh, donât be so smugâ Veronica sniffed. âIâll get to him. Heâs the one that killed Kelsey. He will die a slow and painful deathâ she said, zaidi to herself than to Katherine. She stood up and walked to a corner, where she picked up her cross-bow. âIn the meantimeâ she said, while she aimed the crossbow at Katherine. âI have wewe to have fun withâ and she fired.

âWhereâs Barbie?â Katherine asked when Stefan was standing on the front porch of the Boarding House. She had gotten used to the sight of him with Rebekah.
âSheâs out, doing somethingâ Stefan explained vague. âCan I come in?â
Katherine shrugged and let him pass. Stefan turned around. âIâm looking for Elena. Is she here?â
âNo, sheâs at school. wewe should know thatâ Katherine alisema uninterested.
âNot anymore she isnâtâ Stefan said. âSchoolâs overâ
âThen sheâs probably at the Grillâ Katherine said, a little annoyed. âWhat do wewe need her for anyway?â
âI want to apologize for what happened last time she came overâ Stefan said. âAnd I want to make sure sheâs okay. I mean, I know Rebekahâs blood already left her system kwa now, but still, it must have freaked her outâ
He looked at Katherine who stared at some point behind Stefan. Stefan quickly turned around and saw Damon standing in the doorway.
