    not being a JW or brought up in their teachings I don't know what they say about demonized people, but when looking on the web for this I came across several pictures ( the top one looks like a demon) *** but the pictures are related to the scientists and stuff like that look:

    This image appeared in the Golden Age of March 30, 1932, p. 409, and is very typical of similar pictures or Watchtower cartoons of the era. Note the dead and pock marked babies below. In truth, vaccination practically eliminated small pox, and a host of deadly childhood diseases that must have continued to effect Witnesses.

    This is another Watchtower cartoon relating to the vaccine ban that appeared in the Golden Age of September 23, 1936, p. 810. Doctors and scientists were routinely demonized with flaming rhetoric for their support of the use of vaccines. At one point the existence of germs or micro-organisims was strongly disputed. It was taught that disease was the result of a "wrong vibration" and that aluminum cookware was the true source of many serious illnessees.

    This cartoon appeared in the Watchtower publication "Golden Age" on September 8, 1937, on page 773. It's purpose was to illustrate that aluminum cookware caused cancer and insanity among other things.

    This cartoon appeared in the Watchtower publication "Golden Age" on May 31, 1939, on page 5. Like so many other cartoons, it was designed to instill fear within the minds of trusting Witness readers. Remnants of the vaccine ban remain to this day as "phobias" among some older Jehovah's Witnesses.

    All I can say is o my gosh....
