    I dont even know where to begin with this one.

    I went to a 'Witness' school so all through grade school I used to hear an unbelieveable amount of this nonsense. Especially around the 2nd and 3rd grade years did I hear tons of Smurf tales and the shit those evil little things used to do.

    I dont know if it was just something that local parents came up with or not, but where I grew up we also had to be careful of ET. I dont know that it qualifies as demonic per se, but back when ET was popular there were these ET shirts that had a triangle on them. Kids were offically banned from wearing them to school because the death and resurection of ET in the movie had too much in common with Jesus and the triangle on the shirt certainly eluded to the trinity.

    It kills me that I believed in the boogey man for as long as I did.

    If it is in the literature, "Then I guess it must be true " - they say......... I was surprised at how much of this type of thing there was on the c/d rom

    Some weeks passed. Meena, a neighbor lady who was a full-time minister of Jehovah’s Witnesses, asked my daughter about my condition and said: "Your mother can be helped but only with the Bible." Overhearing the conversation, I walked toward them. Before I reached them, however, I was thrown to the ground. Meena hurriedly came and said: "That demon will not leave you alone. The only one that can help you is Jehovah, no one else." Then she prayed with me to Jehovah God and began to visit me. But the more she visited me, the fiercer were the demon’s attacks. During the night, my body shook so violently that no one in the house could sleep. I stopped eating and had moments when I completely lost my mind.

    My condition became so serious that my sons came from the interior to take me back to my village to die. Being too weak to travel, I refused. But feeling death approaching, I called the Witness to say farewell. Meena explained from the Bible that even if I died, there is the resurrection hope.

    "Resurrection? What do you mean?""God can raise you to life in Paradise," she answered. A ray of hope!

    But that very night the demon possessed me. In a trance, I seemed to see the koenoe followed by a crowd of people. He ridiculed: "She thinks she is going to get a resurrection." Then the crowd laughed and laughed. But then I did something I had never done before. I called: "Jehovah! Jehovah!" That is all I knew to say. And the demon left!

    My sons came again and begged: "Mama, don’t die in the city. Let us take you to your village." I refused, for I wanted to learn more about Jehovah. "All right, perhaps I will still die," I told them, "but I will at least have served the Creator."

    If one scare tactic doesn't work, try another.

    I, too, remember the demon stories. This is just plain ludicrous (sp?) Even my kids thought it was dumb.
