Your sports car police are at your service - the sports car is "Alfa" Romeo. Acronym for Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili...means Lombard Automobile Factory, Public Company.
Alpha is a physics particle (helium nuclei) , and of course a letter of the Greek Alphabet.
Do not feel bad, I once typoed this in a very serious thread on FerrariChat and got flamed for it long and proper.
Wind-up walking Smurf doll:
OK, back on topic again...I think that three or four of the most bizarre "demon" stories I ever heard came from an actual public talk (hour talk in those days) outline on the subject of demons.
If I remember right, there were testimonials to "books that would not burn", "demon sex attacks on sisters", "rooms that suddenly turned very cold in the middle of the night", and the usual "flying cups and saucers" type of nonsense. Special warnings were given about seances - the demons could well imitate deceased loved ones and trick you into consorting with the Devil.
The very oddest part was about 10 to 15 minutes devoted to the subject of "ectoplasm" - a sort of demon slime that could float around in the air and take on the suggestion of a ghostly shape. If the spell was broken, it would sort of collapse to the floor in sort of a demonic snot-pile. Wet Cleanup on Isle Four! But - silly as it sounds - I am serious. This stuff was all in that talk outline - as provided by the society. Of course, some speakers saw fit to include their own stories or heresay "as needed".
As I recall, this outline could only be assigned to one of the most serious and trustworthy of the older speaking servants...younger ones might be influenced by the salacious nature of it all. Again, I am being quite serious. Naturally, all the younger guys who were traveling hour speakers worked desperately to get their hands on this outline - it was by far the hottest of the hot in JW hour talks, and you would automatically have the audience spellbound for your entire hour.
So, the WTS was itself very involved in perpetuation of all these myths.

I know you were being serious, but I can't stop laughing.
Demonic snot-pile......hehehehehe
LOL - me too. I could barely type it, but I swear that a lot of the oldtimers really took this stuff quite seriously.
A point of the very strange: JWs insist that all the apostolic gifts - you know, like tongues, healing, the snake immunity, etc. were "done away with".
Nowadays, they will very very occasionally suggest that some angel was dispatched to help out a door to door witness in danger.
However, this is quite the rarity. None showed their wings in Malawi, for example, that I am aware of. Yet this demonism stuff seems to happen every day or two in their collective minds...
Ironic, isn't it - that with Jesus ruling since 1914 (or 1874, dealers choice) - it seems the Demons have a lot more physical influence in the earthly realm (according the JW myth) than the angels?
I always wanted to get a Ouija board, hide it somewhere in my folks' KH (like up in the ceiling), leave it there about a year, then send an anonymous letter to the KH stating that there was a Ouija board over their heads for the last year and not one demon attack has occurred.
I didn't because I knew they would just think it was Jehovah protecting them and not because there are no demons.
One time at a JW picnic, I put my Kool Whip in my soda glass and it never dissolved!!! I think it must have been demons or something :)

They must have gotten this idea from the movie "Ghostbusters." Remember -- "He slimed me"?
Supposedly a Cabbage Patch Doll came to life, ripped off a little girl's head and threw it out the window
I would have paid to see that.
I have heard many storys over the years, and the smurf one was big in the 80s, I still do not know why they dubbers hate the smurfs so bad.
The story I was told by the elder involved so it came from the person it was supposed to happen to.
In Wolverine Michigan there was an elder whos wife left him to become a conutry singer, [she had slept with several brothers from the hall] any way this elder got remarried to another sister, we will call them Daryl LauraTucker [names changed to protect the innocent] They move into the same old trailer that Daryl lived with his formar wife, Laura started to have things be rearanged when they would come home from meetings, She would see eyes in the family photos turn red and glow, After a lot of this type of thing they called a local elder we will call him Richard Schroder, so in come the elders and pray and do the witness rain dance, and they are led to a blanket stuffed underneath the bathtub, they remove it and still they have problems.
I have no idea what a blanket has to do to channel deamons, But problems keep presisting. So in come the ghost busters again, this time after much praying they are led to the crawl space under the trailer, there they find a box of china that has crosses on them. Richard and Daryl take the box of china to the Wolverine land fill, it is not good enough to just toss the box in the dump, they have to wear gloves and slam the plates togeather shattering them, after the deed is done, they drive out of the land fill and head for home, Richard Schroder told me that the splinters of glass in his gloves were still channeling deamons and the glovers started to choke him, he fought to take off the glovers and threw them out of the truck and drove off.
From what Richard told me there was no other problems. LOL
Do I believe this story, Hell no, But I know Richard and can tell you that if you watch people who have problems with "demons" it is always the same emotional people who have these so called problems, I am sure that some people make up storys to get attention, but many are just emotinal people who let their mind run wild.
Funny how it was Richards duaghter, We will call here Robbin, When she tried to commit sueside on herself and her children the elders [Richard her dad and her uncle Gary we will call him] covered up the attempt by saying that the demons attacked. I have so many things in my home that a dubber would cringe at, crosses given to me by a catholic priest, I am an atheist btw, and I collect iron crosses of the third reich, [no I am not a nazi, I love the history of ww2] and many other items that they would burn, I have never had one experiance that could be said to be supernatrial. LOL These people can be whipped up into a frenzi faster than emril can go BAM
