    The thread about lucky charms brought back a memory along time ago that JWs where not to buy anything from Procter& Gambel because of satanic images in their products. Does anyone remember this ? I am talking about almost 20 years that i heard this .

    i remember that it was in the 80s but i dont recall any particular articles or if it was just rumors.

    it didnt stop me from buying P&G.. i just figured some higher up got burned on some P&G stocks or something.

    I remember that, and it was about 20 years ago.

    An elders daughter was babysitting my kids, we came home from dinner and every thing was pulled out of the cupboards that had the Proctor and Gamble emblems. I didn't realize they marketed so many items.

    She told us we had to get rid of them, they were demumized.

    Their symbol was a moon and stars? They don't use it anymore.

    What a whack job, the nerve to go through someones cabinets, funny thing is, I wasn't upset. Now a days I would call the psych ward.

    The passage of time can wear down rocks, and it can reveal abysmal stupidity. Here are a couple of sites that discuss the P&G urban legend. It was false when first promulgated, and it remains false today.

    I remember kls because for some reason it came to my attention about 12 years ago for the first time; so I called the 800 number on one of the products and they had a specialist on call to answer questions about their logo! So someone must have revived the old rumor around that time for some reason.

    yep. I remember going through our cupboards looking for the satanic symbol on things that P&G made...i also remember the feeling of horror that we had innocently been using these products not knowint they were tools of the devil. sheesh.
