Hi SG: heh, heh, sorry got no smilies, however if heaven is full of JWs, I don't wanna be there - it'll be sooooo boring, cos I like to do all that stuff that's frowned upon. On a different issue .... I have been following your thread as I deal with a family of JW's in my work and it all helps in the greater understanding of things. I think you have shown a very considerate and caring attitude towards your mother and her beliefs- and she has probably no idea of the tizzy that you got yourself in. So for the next 'pagan' occasion you know to ignore [afa mum] it and save yourself the hassle.

Found this on the interweb about Smurfs..


1) Around 1983 or 1984 Smurfs were the all the rage among the kids my age. Somehow stories got started and spread like wildfire about how the Smurfs were demonic. At first I wasn't allowed to watch the TV show because of the characters Gargamel, who was a wizard, and Papa Smurf who practiced magic, if memory serves. Then it became known that several JWs who had overlooked this and bought Smurf items began to have demon troubles.

The one I remember best is a story I related to my JW neighbor's grandmother, who was "worldly" (my mom was furious that I told her this story because she knew the grandmother would think we were all nuts; of course, my mom believed this story, so I guess we were nuts!)

Supposedly, a little girl had been given Smurf curtains for her bedroom and the first night the evil Smurfs were there, she awoke to find they had jumped off the curtains and began dancing around her room, laughing demonically.

2) About the same time, Michael Jackson's Thriller album came out. Our JW neighbor had a daughter who was about two years old. The neighbor had left the channel on MTV when she left the room. She suddenly heard the baby screaming and rushed into the living room to see her daughter pointing at Michael Jackson in werewolf makeup in the Thriller video, screeching "Dirty face! Dirty face!" This was taken as proof in our congregation that this video was demonic (hello? spoof on horror movies? anyone?) as was Michael Jackson, most likely. My Thriller cassette and my neighbor's album were promptly destroyed. The King of Pop was disassociated not long after.

I think that it is that you will survive for ever on earth with no bad people. only JW's.

Have you ever looked at the amout of JWs that are pedos and are protected by their faith. it has made the newspaper many times. It just makes me feel sick.

Sorry just cross and upset

All religons/sects have peodophiles within them and they all cover them up. They pay millions in compensation then move the abusers elsewhere to do it all over again with another congregation.

It is totally sick!!

Right I think this thread has digressed a little far from the original topic... I hope studentgirl got some answers and some helpful suggestions but I think maybe now is a good time to close the thread before anyone gets offended
If anyone has any other genuine questions about JW or any other religon then please post a new thread and I am sure we can try to help!
