My parents decided to get rid of my smurfs as a kid too. Now I have three adorning my dashboard. An angel, a pirate, and a hobo smurf.
It's strange because a friend of mine grew up with protestant parents and they had a lot of the same 'smurf legends' regarding demonized stuffed animals, wallpaper etc...

My parents made me tear up a book once that I had bought from the little book club mags we got at school. I think it was about witches but I dont remember because I never got to read the book. Now I read whatever the hell I want and I have never encountered a demon.

Hehehe,I didn't gorw up in the JW's,so I didn't miss out on that stuff,thankfully.
Live it up everyone and heal that soul that missed out on the harmless stuff.
I rememeber when I was a JW,kids couldn't watch teenage mutan turtles,and the smurfs came up enough.,no cabbage patch dolls....no Aladdin,even tho alot of jw did watch that disney movie.
Geshhh,even when I was a child,I had dreams about my toys,dolls and if I did grow in it,every toy would have been taken away.LOL!

Shera I never heard about the cabbage patch kids. What was the reason behind that I wonder?

I saw a Family Guy cartoon where they did a quick Smurf scene.
One smurf said to the other: "Dude, Smurfett totally smurfed me in the car!"

Feelin' Smurfy today!
I missed all the hoopla, there were no smurfs when I was JW, but I think they're fun.
Oh, how I wanted to watch the Outer Limits! That was soooo forbidden when I was a kid.
Halloween was the holiday I wanted so much. I still dress up if I can find a party, or live somewhere that I can give out candy! I love Halloween. :) I have my composition book from 3rd grade, and I had to write a story about what I did on Halloween,,, it's too cute, but sad as well. All about a black cat perched on the fence, and how there was a witch cackling, Ah, I had to make it up, and hey, wasn't allowed out of the house after school on that day .,,, all those demonz you know! So the imagination ran wild ...

I wasn't allowed to use any wheels or right-angles because of their satanic origins.
