Oh man, as a child of the 80's (born in '79) I remember all this fear-mongering bullshit well!!!!
My paranoid parents were all up into this. I'm surprised we even had a TV! Here's a list off the top of my head:
Smurts
Dungeons and Dragons
He-Man
Any Disney or similar with any kind of magic or talking animals
Imagine my surprise when I learned on here that even at Bethel, they watched Disney's "Fantasia" on a movie night. Fuggin' hypocrites!
In fact, the only time I got to watch Saturday morning cartoons was when my parents slept in and didn't go in Service. (which was 50/50, since my mother was an RN and worked night shifts her entire career)
I was also not allowed to have ANY video games or console until I absolutely begged and pleaded and was finally rewarded with a Sega Game Gear in 1993, which I loved.
Sports and any extra-curricular activities were strictly forbidden to me. I wasn't allowed to own tapes or CD's until I was old enough to work and bought my own. I was allowed a radio, so I could listen to music, but only thru headphones cause I liked METAL and we all know that's S-A-T-A-N!
Here's how paranoid my JW parents were:
In Kindergarten we were given a box of felt letters, upper and lower case to practice making words and sentences. One day I was home with it and playing around making words and my parents saw the lower-case "t" and threw a an absolute FIT claiming that it was attempting to introduce the pagan Christian CROSS into our house. They took the "t" and destroyed it. It was so crazy that I remember it to this day, and was probably my first real "Red Flag" moment and made me think how CRAZY my parents were and that something was very very wrong here. It was all downhill from there honestly. Being forced to place to the blue "School" brochure with teachers all thru Elementary School and sitting out of every holiday assembly and put into the library. A kid gets sick of feeling like an outcast and weirdo REAL QUICK and starts being resentful, lying to cope, and two-faced (double life) just to escape the madness. No wonder 70%+ leave the instant they turn 18.
