But, that's what we were told, alien....and we believed it. Told to us, from our 'spiritual advisors'. Seems that the elders are in more than one Borg collective themselves.

did any of you have disproportionate fears of demons, and if you are able to, what was your experience in your emotions with these strong fears?
how did knowledge at such a young age affect you with the detailed graphic descriptions given my the published litureture?
were there any publications which freaked you in any way?
g'day nathan,.
i thought your post below very interesting and in order to answer you about my thoughts on satan and change tack a little, i've raised this to the top.
excuse me, but unlike all the talk about why the watchtower society sucks and what's your favorite toilet paper, myth is a subject i actually get off on.

Celtic,
I think it is all up to the elders in the congregation to instill the necessary fear of demons. Those with horrow stories will have scared underlings. Those who aren't afraid of demons won't preach it.
I was terrified of them at one time because some pioneer once told me that they could 'blow up my house' if they wanted to...they were 'that powerful'.
No wonder I'm screwed up.

i was thinking, since the main problem seems to be that witnesses usually won't open up.
well, there seems to be no shortage of funny human behavior, so why couldn't this work?
of course, it isn't a matter of laughing at them.. perhaps point out some behavior that wouldn't be readily identified with witnesses (but does fit) and go from there...
the other day i accidentally encountered one of the.
lying, corrupt elders who unjustly injured my family.. i'm not known for using bad language.
self-control not to raise my voice in a public setting.
