    Xander,
    I do not wish to hijack this very worthy thread, either. I do have some input on the practice of and experience with what the WT would lable as spiritism/witchcraft in my post WT malaise. I would be happy to share on a separate post in order to preserve this thread on its intended course.
    Love,
    Bridgette
    p.s. to go along with this thread, all I remember was the J.W.'s being terribly frightened, and devoid of rational, scientific thougt processes on anything they did not understand. i.e., have a dream that comes true a few days later? the demons. Your intuition telling you that the WTBTS is a mindcontrolling cult?--the demons must be "planting" these thoughts in your head.

    Their hangup with books and other object being possessed was always interesting. Like, actually READING apostate literature would cause demons to enter your mind and lead you astray. [8>] It was also interesting how obsessed they were with the whole deja vu->demons thing. I mean, I got deja vu ALL THE TIME - even when giving a friggin talk on stage. If the demons were at work each time....[8>]

    Anyway, I posted a new thread:

    To discuss experiences in spiritism (tried to give it a catchy title)

    I think where the WTS got the idea about demons inhabiting solid objects, comes from the example in the Bible where Jesus expelled the demons who inhabited some men, and Jesus expelled the demons into a herd of pigs. The pigs then ran over a cliff, I think?.

    I'm too lazy to look up the scripture, or I could tell you where it is.

    Thanks Concerned Mama,
    It has been tough, wouldn't wish the death of a child on anyone. I sick to death of everything being demonized. It seems like if anyone didn't conform, or follow along with the thinking of WTS they were demonized, or influenced by Satan. And your right many other religious orgizations do the very same thing. Could drive a sane person mad.
