oh interesting! i was raised orthodox jewish which meant (for the most part) no nickelodeon and Disney, but a few of these secular kids books were allowed, and gosh am i grateful it. seems kinda weird/arbitrary what gets past the religious filter, huh?

It really differed from year to year and from house to house. I remember I was allowed to see monsters inc at camp (it fucked me up) but not the prince of egypt because it's wasn't accurate enough to the bible

All I remember getting from monsters inc was that monsters were real. I hadn't seen alot of movies and I think I had a hard time diferentiating it from reality. Starting sleeping outside my parents bedroom door on the wooden floor

I had something similar, except Jehovah's Witnesses tell you that demons are real and they will come for you if you do something like watch the wrong TV show. I've lived with an intense fear of demons for just about all my life because of it.

<3 me too dude. belief in demons (we called them sheidim- but were so afraid of summoning them we just said shin daleds- the first two letters of the word) was a very real thing that controlled practical parts of our lives

no that's what's fucked up about it, with Jehovah's witnesses there isn't much in the way of redemption or cleansing sins. It's kind of "if you stray you're on your own" mentality. But I did experience an exorcism as an adult lol, separate story though.
