My friend invited me over to play with her dolls; little did I know that she was in the grip of Satan. She informed me that her barbie dolls didn't like the man 'Ken' doll her mother had got for her, and that they preferred each other's company. She then proceeded to show me how they showed their 'love' for one another in terrible and disgusting ways. I told her that they couldn't make a baby with another lady barbie and she said 'that's ok, some ladies don't want to have babies.' It still haunts me to this day. So, I think that barbies are a tool of satan. In my childhood I had a very traumatic experience concerning barbie dolls.

We spoke about it for only five minutes and she was made an agreement with me that she would pack all her Barbies up, and on my part I would make her a pretty Amish Baby like the little Amish girls have- we live in the city of DC, so this was very moving. I got out my wedding china and told her she could take it to her room and have a tea party with her Life of Faith doll. She huged me and said " Thank you mommy for being the best mommy in the world" So I will make her the handmade Amish looking baby and my heart is just so overjoyed. I can see that homeschooling my children was only the start of a whole new life, a whole new family.

We discarded immodest outfits and painted on underclothes with nail polish, but still, I am convicted as a mother. I am filled with joy when I see her with a baby doll in her arms, role-playing as a mom or even a Bible story character. I cannot say the same for the times I see her playing barbies. Now.... to remove them from her toy collection ---- got any good ideas on how to help her make the break? My 5 year-old daughter has a small collection of Barbies — some of which were MY old Barbies!

Parents teach. My mother taught me that Barbie was NOT a real woman, she was make believe and that I was, and always will be more beautiful than some plastic toy. So instead of playing make believe "sexy-girl" with my Barbie, I always wanted the kids and the baby barbie dolls so I could play "house" with my Barbies, and recreate scenes that had happened in my family or in other families. Barbie dolls are not harmful in and of themselves. Parents not monitoring their child with Barbie dolls can be very harmful.

I will never, never let my little girl play with Barbie's.
