My main concern is I role-play warriors- I am not reading them anymore and haven't for awhile but the world a lot of fun to play around with. cx
Necromancy is because warriors talk to StarClan- which are the dead. It is not directly summoning yes, they usually dream them. I think necromancy is both talking to, summoning and seeking out the dead in any way from what I have gathered. The older books only had warriors characters seeking out StarClan- communicating, but not too much interaction. TNP introduces the "evil" dead where there's more interaction. However, the new series I am not reading apparently has cats in "purgatory" - they are drifting outside of the dark forest and StarClan because they cannot "find there way", ie, ghosts - as well as in "The Last Hope" (also didn't read) where StarClan and the dark forest manifest in the real world to have it out. Finally, Cinderpelt "reincarnates" or "possesses" Cinderheat, depending on your view in it!
Admittedly, I don't rp these things. I avoid the dark forest best I can and only have StarClan give 9 lives and prophecies sometimes. But is it utterly bad to enjoy things with influence from mythology and other religions? (One of the warriors authors is Christian, too, and wrote a Christian Fantasy series aside from Erin Hunter.) I also like studying mythology and watching Bollywood films, and also Studio Ghibli, which have aspects from different religions.
Edit: Oh and @ Presto nah I wouldn't say it's too dark, at least the ones I recall. Sometimes though. But mainly in violence - like kits dying, cats dying, cats getting hurt, those are sad even if not described gruesomely. Also the dark forest was a bit much, but they were not trying to glorify the dark forest. I do agree I dislike how they "ruined" StarClan if you want to take it for a metaphor for religion in general- but I think that's just bad writing and planning.

Technically teaching on purgatory is more of 'youre saved but you need to be purified more by Gods fire' kinda deal instead of a Limbo sort of world.
But I think it might ultimately come down to how you should do as you are comfortable with. I personally found the Cinderpelt/heart think kinda wierd and unnecessary but I went with it.
I dont think the warrior books themselves really went in that vain of 'too dark' (I find when the characters are animals its slightly different than if they are human) and Im picking up that the RP is kinda like the books. So in that case I dont see anything wrong with it per se.
Also youre probably right about the bad writing bit~

i mean warriors never invoked existential wuestions or doubt in my religion in the slightest so it was never even a slight possibility of issue for me

Personally, it's never been a problem to me since it's fiction. As long as you aren't practicing necromancy or anything because of the series- then I think you'll be okay.
They have a cat "purgatory" now? That's new, but then again, I haven't read Warriors in who knows how long. I stopped reading after the first two books with Thunder, Clear Sky, and those other cats from the past.

Warriors never has made me doubt my religion so I guess in that case it would be fine. cx Thanks guys! I'll just try and avoid too much darker spirit themes.
Edit: @ Ravenpaw I keep up with warriors news sometimes but no longer read. cx Yeah there's Needletail and a few others apparently who haven't found their way to either StarClan or Darkforest and need redemption.

So my boyfriend just broke up with me on Tuesday. He was a good, caring Christain guy that treated me very well. We dated for 9 months and we were very happy. Then all of the sudden, a couple weeks ago I started to notice that something seemed off with him. He wouldn’t smile at me or return my affection anymore. He told me he just needed to figure things out and that he would pray about it. Even a few days before he broke up with me he told me not to worry and not to feel bad when I said I was concerned for him. All the while I was praying about this situation. I thought I heard God’s voice telling me that our relationship would work out, that it was right. I had no doubts and was completely confident. But then we broke up. So I guess I don’t understand why I didn’t hear God saying that it was time to move on or something. Now I feel like I don’t want to listen for an answer to my prayers if I can’t trust that it’s actually His voice I hear. So, yeah kind of a tough one I think.

Well, umm... him in middle school so I don’t know much I’ll try.
I believe God was trying to say ‘give it some time maybe, he will probably be well again’ maybe he is dating someone else?? Maybe not have u relised hi hanging out with another girl??

Yeah, I know it’s a difficult situation. And yeah, my mom said maybe we just need this time apart to figure things out. I do know it’s not another girl though

Dawnsky13Hey love. Sorry to hear that you're going through this. I've had the same dealings myself. There are a number of possibilities. 1. I say this gently and with love as I have done the same but it is possible that you heard your own voice disguising itself to comfort you. We do this a lot. Discerning God's voice is hard. There is a great book by Priscilla Shire called Discerning God's Voice. Highly recommend. 2. Maybe it is the infamous 'not now'. All of my friends were getting engaged around me a few years back and I was increasingly jealous. I kept praying for it but all I felt was 'no not now'. I then gave up and trusted His timing. When it finally did happen I was overjoyed. Sometimes God makes us wait. Perhaps you two will reunite but for now He may be making both of you to look more like Him. It's harder to serve Him when in a relationship because you can be tied to and distracted by your SO. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 7 that it is easier for a single woman/man to serve the kingdom of God. Maybe He wants you to be in a season of growth and it requires solitude to do so. 3. Maybe it isn't His plan and for Him to say things will work out could be what Romans 8:28 says. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.God's plan isn't usually our plan but it works out so much better than what ours could ever be. I know this is a heart breaking situation and I'm really sorry that it did. The affection thing halfway makes me wonder if...well...he was too tempted and needed to step back before things got dicey. If you feel as though he will answer ask him what happened so you know maybe where it went astray.

Well thanks for that. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/6575102/images/lNtnPuxeCzkaKMNYVXVv.gif) Things are definitely confusing and it hurts, but considering those things I’m still doing well. I think this situation does present a good opportunity for growth and I’ve been feeling like I need to take time to figure myself out and improve.
