In the book of Joel, it's prophesied that people would have visions and dreams in the last days, and that they would prophesy.
How does the church react to people who claim to have inspired dreams or visions, and to prophesy?

They're considered crazy unless they're one of the 8 members of the "Faithful & Discreet Slave"

That or they're considered demonized and sincee they don't do exorcisms, they don't do anything about that except avoid you or tell you you must have some evil object in your home or you're doing something bad and it will stop if you stop doing whatever it is. They don't believe in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit either like speaking in tongues, healing, etc. They say those things have been "done away with" after the 1st century based on some scripture that says that eventually those things would cease, though I may be misquoting, as it is after midnight and I'm sleepy.

How do JWs treat people who they think are possessed with demons? Who are the eight "faithful and discreet slaves"? And what makes them discreet? Are they from Las Vegas? What happens in Bethel stays in Bethel?
