    Why should JWs be obsessed with worrying about demon attacks? Don't they believe Jehovah God is watching over them as their Protector??

    I had a fear...but didn't give it much thought.

    I assumed demons were real and I avoided movies like the Exorcist or similar. But at the same time, I owned albums that were supposedly created under the influence of the demons. Black Sabbath, Rush, KISS and didn't think twice about it.

    Now though, I'm not. I actually watched the Exorcist last year since I had never seen it. I was expecting to actually get spooked by it since it was supposed to be so scary. I ended up laughing at it more than anything. I guess I'm too jaded now.

    I was terrorfied of the demons.

    My non jw sister brought me some cowbells back from her holiday in India as a gift. Well when one of the JWs saw them they said those are pagan religious objects - you are letting the demons in. After that, for 2 nights running, I woke in terror convinced someone was trying to strangle me. I got rid of the cowbells and slept peacefully once more.

    No I'm not afraid of demons as you call it...but I do have a healthy respect for spirits.

    Never throw caution to the wind.

    I remember very vividly feeling afraid of the demons. I had nightmares. I would run and jump to my moms bed, because I was afraid they would pull me under the bed. I would never go into the garage. I thought Three Men and a Baby had a demon in it. I freaked out on some friends (I was 12) when they put a demonic movie, because I thought I would invite the demons into my experiences. I had nightmares up until a couple of years ago, always involving being frozen, unable to move, unable to yell, and finally able to eek the name of Jehovah out, which would scare the demons away. Sometimes I would sleep with a bible next to my bed, opened to Ps. 83:18. I can go on and on. Needless to say, today, I believe it's all mental disorders and fears. I don't believe in the demons.

    I never believed in demons until recently when I saw a guy in the supermarket stick out his tongue like Gene Simmons and turn his head around 360 degrees. Now, I'm begining to wonder. He was buying Lucky Charms cereal.

    I've had some very odd experiences in my life! Stuff that you can't just explain away. Some of those exeriences weren't pleasant - was I afraid of the demons - no - I thought my god was bigger than them, but things kept happening even when I called on his name.......
