When word came down that a Smurf jumped up in the middle of a meeting, yelled 'I've had enough of this shit!' and stormed out, I was probably 9 years old. At the time I had a Smurf record. That week, my aunt had noticed that the record skipped (I guess that had nothing to do with the gaping HOLE in it). Naturally, we had to get the demons out of the house and cracking it into vinyl slivers became a family affair.

What was your Smurf-a-licious experience?

Oh yeah, support an xjw and buy my book, Tattoo This Madness In. Demonic Smurf tattoos included:

Yeah, I remember about the smurfs.  There were all kinds of different stories going around about them.  At the same time there were certain records you couldn't listen to because they said "satan" etc when you played them backwards.  Those little trolls with the wild hair were demonized too.

Thankfully,  my mother didn't listen to those stories.  I remember my friends having to throw out all their albums, get rid of toys etc.  I didn't have to thow anything away, and could watch the cartoons!!

My parents didn't let us have any demonic smurfy stuff. they heard that a jw parent was burning their kid's smurf quilt in the back yard (a common practice for ridding thyself of demonic materials. what??) and *poof*, that little demon came screaming right out of the fire. nicely done. scare the shit out of your children. no wonder I still have nightmares.

Yep. I remember. All the stories, the ones that wouldn't burn even when soaked in mineral spirits, the ones that choked people, the ones that ran down the aisles of Kingdom Halls, or jumped up into the back windows of cars and waved menacingly just before the car wrecked, or carried on conversations with unsuspecting children, or took themselves out of fireplaces and sat back on the mantle unscorched...the list goes on and on.

I remember that they were supposedly demonic, but I never heard the accompanying urban legends.  My mom made me throw my Smurf underwear into a trash bag and then she shattered the cute little Smurf glasses we got at a fast food place.  I believed what I was told about Gargamel being the devil though.  I must've been about 8. 

When I lived in Germany in the late 90's, Smurf stuff was everywhere.   I bought myself a Smurfette figurine. 

I heard one of a smurf poster that kept falling off the wall( in some kids bedroom) and trying to smother the kid.  I also heard the not being able to burn smurf stuff stories and the smurfs running up the KH aisle.   We only had one or two channels of tv so if the smurfs were on we watched it anyhow (on the off chance we were home on Saturday morning)  Usually didn't have the chance to watch the damn smurfs anyway cuz of field service.   

i heard it as...a little girl had been given Smurf curtains for her bedroom and the first night she awoke to find the evil Smurfs had jumped off the curtains and began dancing around her room, laughing demonically.

Man you guys got it ALL wrong!

A smurf floated THROUGH the Kingdom Hall and I know someone who knows someone who SEEN it.

Just like the lady that tore the page out of the Bible, oh yeah the page with Jehovahs name on it, the Scripture of validation- Psalms 83:18. I know someone who was there! yep she says; "No! God's name aint Jehovah!" (publisher shows her Psalms 83:18) Householder ripps page out of Bible and says defiantly; "well it aint there now"!   ...anyone remember that one?

 

 

wow, your stories are totally bringing it all back...about the wallpaper...have you heard the one about Smurfs biting children?

heeheehee,

I remember this all too well. Just a couple weeks ago my sister bought me a smurf at a garage sale. I sat it on my entertainment center, where everyone who comes in has to see it. My mom did a double take, but never said a word!
