"What I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ, to keep Satan from gaining the advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his designs."
2Corinthians 2:10-11
I have been wanting to write about these dolls since they came out, so here goes!
Last year I wrote a blog posting about the very popular Monster High Dolls. You can read that posting here:
"As If Sexualization of Tweens Wasn't Enough, Here Come the Dolls From Hell"
Now we have a whole new crop of evil dolls to deal with - the Bratzillaz dolls. I know parents in the general population not only don't see these as harmful, but encourage their daughters to collect and play with them. These dolls ARE harmful, and I am NOT afraid to say it. Parents need to stay as far away from these dolls and other toys like them as possible. Why would anyone invite danger into their households? Most wouldn't...which shows that people don't realize the danger that is inherent in these toys. When anyone dabbles in anything that is tied to the occult, you are opening a door that can be very difficult to close. I personally have spent much of my adulthood trying to close all the doors that were opened by family when I was a child. The blessing of our house a few months ago finally did the trick I think. There is a war going on out there for our souls. Don't hand yours or your kids' over to people you don't know who are running large companies for large profits. Right now, our young girls are obsessed with anything that is remotely like "Twilight". Vampires are selling like hotcakes.
Our culture is currently obsessed with young girls looking as provocative as possible. We are so obsessed, in fact, that there is jealousy among mothers to look as young and sexy as their daughters, nieces, next door neighbor's daughters, etc. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the LARGE amount of moms out there dressing and acting inappropriately - for the attention of....whom? This is, of course, a part of the dark side's master plan to ultimately completely tear apart the family unit. Why not encourage women to look trampy - they will literally be wearing a billboard that says, "Hello, I've sold myself." Why not encourage their daughters to sell themselves - or give themselves away also - at a very very young age? Have you taken a good look at what these dolls are wearing? They are wearing clothes that fifteen years ago you would have said looked like something a street walker would be wearing. These Bratzillaz dolls even have tattoos. Great! Trampy clothes aren't enough - let's brainwash the little buggers into stamping trashy things all over their bodies...permanently! The body was made by God as a sacred vessel to bring forth life - not something to be disrespected and mutilated.
Before birth control, it seems Satan was finding great success at working on man's sexual desires by encouraging promiscuity, alcoholism, abuse, pornography, etc. After the advent and widespread acceptance and use of the pill, Satan had an inroad into ripping apart the women in our society. The pill was wrapped up and labeled innocuously as a savior, really...something that would save the family by giving the husband and wife (really just the wife) complete control over when to conceive and how many babies to conceive. It was freedom - finally! Not innocuous. The pill has torn apart the family unit by taking away the reason married couples make love. We are made to bring forth babies - God's children. The devil stopped the "bringing forth" through the pill and then the legalization of abortion. Actually, abortions not only have stopped the "bringing forth", but have convinced mothers worldwide that murdering their babies is okay if the timing isn't right, or if there might be a birth defect, etc. Women have and continue to aid in the destruction of their own precious homes - their nests. We cry out for stable homes, loving husbands, and beautiful children, but the dark side tells us that we should avoid our husbands because of a horrible thing called pregnancy and a new addition to the family. The dark side tells us to use our sexuality in the bedroom with our husbands, but use the pill religiously, and then stuff down that little feeling each month of "what if". We grow up as little girls dreaming of the large house, the white picket fence, and a yard filled with children playing in it, but the dark side convinces us that the yard should be filled with an adult-like swimming pool, or fancy gardens, and children might mess those things up. Satan is the great deceiver and his demons are constantly working hard on us. They want us to suffer as much as they are. They want us going down with the ship with them.
So, let's take a really close look at these dolls. They are attractive, sexy, wear fashionable clothes, and have multiple "powers". They look like demons or vampires or witches - whatever you would like to call them. Why on earth are mothers and fathers allowing their precious daughters, the future nurturers of our society, to have fantasy play with dolls from hell??? Parents, you had better wake up and begin seeing the war that is going on. There is a war for your daughters' souls - our daughters' souls - our future mothers' souls. You had better fight for those souls and tell your daughters, "NO, you cannot have those dolls because who would want to play with such ugly horrible evil looking things?" That is what our daughters must hear about toys like these. You cannot cave in on this one. You must stand your ground or else another demon wins another battle. The dark side is working on the family from all sides. Why let it creep into your house through something that is so easy to say no to?
Please watch the latest Bratzillaz video and see what our young girls are being exposed to. Young girls all over the world are clamoring for the Monster High and Bratzillaz dolls. Don't let any of your daughters be any of those young girls. While watching this video, pay special attention to the marketing (hot clothes, great song, pretty girls, power to bring forth a hot guy, large mansion) as well as the imagery i.e. very dark background. Perhaps the most disturbing aspect is that every one of the girls is shown "walking on water". Again, it may seem innocuous, but an adult producer or director or writer came up with that idea. Why would an adult come up with that particular idea and make it such a prominent part of the video? Could it be that the dark side's ultimate goal is to make sure that humans don't believe in Christ as our Savior? Christ didn't walk on water any more than these silly women in this silly video, right? It's all poking fun at such a ridiculous notion anyway. Open your eyes...Christianity is being attacked and souls are at stake.

Thank you for writing this. I couldn't agree with you more. As a Catholic mommy of a six-year-old girl, I am horrified by the some of the dolls in the toy aisle. It is so sick how the media and the creators of these dolls are preying on children. It is a slow, insidious approach to make our girls believe gore, vampires, sorccery (sp) and evil looking dolls are okay. They are not. It is so important to be discerning these days. It is so easy to be lulled and not really see what is being presented. It is so offensive that these are even on the shelves. I hope they go away soon. Thank you again. Carolyn G
You are so welcome! I am thrilled you wrote about how you feel about these dolls. As of today, this entry has had over 2400 pageviews (which is HUGE in my world!) and you are the first to comment! I can only hope that the girls searching "bratzillaz" and stumbling upon my blog might give a second thought to buying these dolls. You're right - it is a slow indoctrination of our girls, and you are smart to keep your daughter away from them. That must be tough at times with peer pressure and all. My daughter is not yet old enough to even know about them...thankfully. I too wish they would go away soon, but I don't think that'll be the case. Evil is lurking everywhere and we must be on constant vigil.
I am 11 year old,christen girl. with a great family and a great up bringing. but I to,hate what your saying here?? I no there a little bit bad, but if you bring up your children right. this this wont happen. oh, and I have a BIG, FAITH for my god, and christ. and first, my mom did not, let me play with bratz. but then I got one as a birthday gift she thought they weren't bad and as for hell and stuff like that I LOVE fantasy and no I don't do witch craft but its fun to play with fantsy stuff and they do it for the good these dolls oh and are you one of those people who thought harry potter was bad?? if you are....
Lily, thank you so much for taking the time to read this post and for writing. I am so happy that you have a great Christian family - honestly, that is big nowadays. I understand what you're saying here. If I were eleven, I would probably say the same thing. It's sometimes difficult for children to always understand the greater dangers of our world. If one thinks there are no evil forces around us all the time, then surely they have won. Playing with the dolls aren't necessarily bad - it's that inviting things like this into your home is like a welcome mat for the dark side. If evil sees weakness in a family, it will act. I am telling you from personal experience that these are doors you do not want to open. Evil lurks to destroy good and well meaning families such as yours. Please be careful. I would hope that you discuss this post with your parents. I wish nothing but the best for you and your family. As for Harry Potter, it is my opinion that the book series is a different matter entirely. As the book series does deal with a fantastical magical world, it is a well-written and well thought out story about the ultimate prevail of good over evil. Evil will always lose in the end. Harry's okay in my book, although I know many Catholics who would definitely steer clear of this series as well. May God bless you and your family today and always ~+
