I remember when I was around 5 or so this arrogant prick named Phil Phillips came to our church to speak on the evils of toys. This guy was a traveling evangelist and a quack pseudo psychologist. He talked about how pretty much Care Bears, Smurfs, Barbie, Thundercats and every other 80's toy was a tool for the devil in Hollywood's secret cult agenda to convert kids into vessels for satan (I'm not exaggerating this shit).

Because of this motherfucker, my mom thre out EVERY LAST ONE on my Thundercats, Silverhawks, G.I. Joes, Super Powers action figures, and any other thing I may have had that was the devil.

To this day I hate that man with all the fire of a pissed off five year old watching the my toys go in the trash to be taken to the dump.

He also wrote a book called "Turmoil in the Toybox" it sells on Amazon now between a penny and five bucks I think. If anyone can stomach the amount of bullshit this dude shovels, its a good insight into the delusions of some Christians or the work of a smart marketing man attaching a fear to something and preaching about it to make money. Either way the fucker cost me Lion-O.

Here is the link to it on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Turmoil-Toy-Box-Phil-Phillips/dp/0914984047/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1373900730&sr=1-1&keywords=turmoil+in+the+toy+box

She had good intentions in doing everything she did. Including taking inspiration from this wretched book and raising me to be a fundamentalist.

Doesn't change the fact that it was wrong and fucked up.

100% serious. I would also say that experience wasn't completely atypical in an evangelical Christian family in the 80s or early 90s. Luckily, we've chilled out a little since then.

The book

You labeling those pictures of a demon as "subliminal" is incorrect labelling. It's not subliminal, you can see it with the naked eye with no prompting. He could've worked for the Department of Witchcraft and Child Sacrifice - it doesn't change the fact that the images aren't subliminal.

>I truly don't understand people like you.

I used to be like you. Horror stories of secular music, "Turmoil in the Toybox" books, Hells Bells - anti-rock n roll videos, subliminal messaging, demons in children's toys and movies. Yeah, I've been there. People like me didn't make sense to me back then either.

When I was younger, this book was given to my parents and needless to say it made my young life "un-fun"... People really do take that shit seriously.

> This led them to a book called Terror In the Toybox

Do you mean Turmoil in the Toybox, by Phil Phillips? Amusingly, the daft Mr. Phillips wrote a whole series declaring the satanic evils of pop culture, including Saturday Morning MInd Control, Halloween and Satanism, Dinosaurs: The Bible, Barney & Beyond, The Truth About Power Rangers and of course Turmoil in the Toybox II.
