PAPA DON'T PREACH or SMURFING IT OLD SCHOOL

It just gets interestinger and interestinger... enjoy!

TURMOIL IN THE TOYBOX by Phil Phillips
Excerpt from page 76 and 77:
"Many forms of the occult are contained in this cartoon. The most obvious display is through the character of Papa Smurf. Every time the Smurfs have a problem, they go to Papa Smurf who whips up a spell or recites an incantation to help them out. These are very strong images to the child's mind. As Christians, we want children to learn to call on the Lord Jesus to help them through problems. In His Word, God tells us to trust Him and only Him. He tells us not to rely on practices such as witchcraft to solve our problems. Nevertheless, children will not learn Godly principles if they are constantly saturated with images of characters using witchcraft and other occult practices to solve their problems."

So you see, Papa Smurf, the father figure of the show who helps his children when under attack from the clearly evil Gargamel is not to be trusted!

Remember kids, stay away from Grandpa when seeking sage advice, ask only that old man in the sky. Do not look these blue characters in the eye as they may bedevil you into following the ways of that Old Scratch feller! Stay beJesused now, y'hear!
