I'm 50 &bwas raised Southern Baptist. Our church made us watch this every Sunday as part if our Sunday School class. This is what younger kids did while the kids 10 & up went to Youth Group. I had totally forgotten about this show & I think you just helped me discovered where my extreme fear of this style of puppet stems from. My family always teased me & called it an irrational fear. To them it didn't make any sense because I never really watched Howdie Doodie with my older sisters. Never watched a horror movie with one of these puppets in it. And oddest of all, Jim Henson creations have never scared me. Quite the contrary, I've always found his Gelflings etc intriguing & comforting. Even his bigger creations with a person inside the puppet never scared me. But THIS show, your clips of this show brought a flood of memories rushing back in & it's no wonder I have Complex PTSD that began as a result of my childhood in an extremely strict Christian household where blanket training begins as as soon as a baby can scoot & roll over & a "Bible Beating" was a literal punishment. Even though this brought back dark memories, thank-you for posting it. A healing journey with an ending is 1 thing, a healing journey with a definite beginning has better chance of success.

"I don't think anybody can practice self control all by themselves..." [6:57] What a line.

[@jessicalightwarrior7276]

Self control is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23 Too bad this monster used God's word to deceive. Let God be the final Judge! Peace

this is very disgusting how someone can prey on young children.

[@TryTheRoachBurger]

honestly, i feel bad for the shows creator. you put 20 years of effort into your baby, your child. something you believed in and enjoyed doing but all because of a action you had no control over nor did you know what was happening, no one remembers the show nor the hard work you did. its almost like you wasted 20 years for nothing in return. the show now is remembered for some sick minded individual on set more than what it was meant to be about.

Thank you for mentioning the 2yr old at the end. This whole time I was wondering, worried. Thank God she's okay & these people have been caught. Unfortunately, there's more people like that out there & there are still victims. All these poor kids in the world... so innocent & helpless amongst all these disgusting, vile people. We have to keep our kids safe! I hate this world!

[@Niri777]

As a Christian, cases like this make me so mad and irritated. Why use Christianity and religion to cover up your disgusting acts?? It’s sad and shameful and extremely disturbing

[@mktrill]

Yeah I agree it gives Christianity a bad name luckily tho looking thru the comments, it looks like most agree he was a sick person and no one blames Christianity for this...

[@Niri777]

@@mktrill they aren’t directly blaming Christianity but some of them are making it seem like “oh look another p3do related case linked to Christianity. Shocker” idk how to explain it but there’s obvious tones of judgement

[@rileycoyote8275]

​@@mktrillIt's a pleasant surprise, since they usually take any opportunity to bash Christians and Christianity. I really hate it when people blame Christ for the things that human beings choose to do with their free will.

I feel like it's kinda the opposite. He thought about way, way too much but he couldn't bring himself to do it. Maybe him preaching it was some kind of sick self-gratification or a verbal lashing of himself - idk if it's right to assume. In my experience it's far too common for people who are very vocal about these kinda things (purity, bad thoughts, perversion, stuff of that nature) to be secretly doing it behind closed doors
