This might sound really dumb, but I was very afraid of giving a wrong answer, when I commented at meetings, so I made very sure of what I was going to say before I raised my hand.

As a kid, I had the demon fear really bad. That is why this new great teacher book they have out bothers me so much. I have only looked through part of it, and it is chalk full of how demons are stronger than we are, and how they get to us through the internet and movies, video games. After paragraphs and paragraphs of demons then there is one line that says God is stronger than demons.

When I was a kid I believed all this stuff, and thought the demons were following me everywhere. Some nights I would I would hide under my blankets and pray and pray for protection until I fell asleep. It didn't help that everytime something strange happened in our house, my mom would think it was demons (it couldn't be the house was over 100 years old and made noises.) And then she would burn a bunch of stuff to see if the noise would go away.

It took me many years to get over the demon fear.

1. Conducting the Ministry School - I never knew what to expect; last minute cancellations, people just not showing up, etc.

2. Leading out for field service. I hated it.

It really varied, Ozzie. At first, the elders. When they screwed with me, I decided to lose fear of them;

then the C.O. Then, I found out that he was a really nice guy, and actually liked him!

finally, going to meetings. I couldn't go to those meetings with all those backstabing sob's. The worst was the district conventions; I couldn't handle the crowds!

Armageddon

I was afraid of giving talks also but I managed to get out of it most of the time.
