I'm almost done with a book called In The Woods. And I'm immersed in Microsoft Word 2007! (Taking it as part of my Medical Office classes ) And I finished Under the Dome by Stephen King. I love reading!!

A Demon Experience?......This was/is very serious to me.
by awildflower inso when we moved here from maine to okc, six years ago this coming april, my daughter was 7. the military moved us so it brings a big moving truck to your house and unloads all of your stuff etc.
we had been settling in for a few months and my daughter starting telling me that she was hearing things in her room.
small things at first, just enough to prick up her ears.

Quilsky, absolutely NOT the situation here. And I'm not in some sort of "denial".

StoneWall, no he's not an elder anymore. You make a great point about angels and demons if they exist at all. Just yesterday I was telling my daughter about this thread and we were talking about the subject (although she doesn't remember hardly anything about her experience) and she said to me, "how come, if there are some spirit creatures out there, that we only hear about evil ones causing harm or problems, wouldn't we hear about good angels to or see "good" angels in our daily lives guiding us and making us feel good?" I told her that was an excellent point and I'd bring it up on here, so maybe someone could comment on that to.
Wizard and Frankie, I'm keeping an open mind to all the ideas.
OldHippie, thank you for the book recommendation, I'll check it out. It feels so odd to have an experience like yours or mine and know what it must sound like but also knowing that it was real! Nelly, my husband was never a jw. After we married I went back to my childhood religion, jw's and I raised my kids like that up until a year ago. Although he never opposed any of it and even studied for the 14 years we've been married ,off and on, he never became a jw. Thank God for him.
Razziel, welcome and thanks for sharing your experience. It must have been very stressful but it's nice to hear you've moved on with a better life. It was very well written as well and look forward to your thoughts.

Again, thanks for the variety of responses. Void, although I appreciate your thoughts as well, I really don't think it's an explanation for my situation. It doesn't resonate with me. For one thing, this wasn't our first move. She's been moving every two years since she was born. That's the military for you. We've never had any complications moving, in fact, aside from normal stress of a different routine, we have always enjoyed this part of the military. We have lived and traveled to many places. When she was coming to me with these thoughts, she was disturbed. It wasn't like she was coming to me curious and it's not like she was rebelling in some way for extreme attention. She was coming to me very, very disturbed and didn't understand. She was so upset about this. And although I know as parents we can't catch everything our children watch, if you knew the kind of jw I was, I was VERY strict about movies, books, going to someone else's house. And my kids have home schooled most of their lives!
Again great comments. I'm leaning toward just not being able to explain all things, hmmmmm........wf

Stonewall, we were all with him when we took the mattress and dumped it in a dumpster somewhere, can't remember where now. And I don't want to perform any type of experiment with that kind of thing. I can't explain why the mattress (if indeed it was). All I know is that when it was there it was happening and when it was gone it immediately stopped. Again, I don't know how to explain it. But if we are talking about "bad energy", could that linger on an object? Especially something like a mattress? Who knows where it had been before and what had happened on it.............wf

I'm pretty sure, sixofnine, that this wasn't something like exploring what she knew, if anything, about sexual behavior etc... In fact very little of it had to do with sex. I posted that ONE of the things she used to say was "she wanted to have sex with Satan". This was a thought in her head of course, and it disturbed her very, very much. She didn't WANT to do that of course. There were other 'dark' things she would say and think and it just seemed to come from something other than natural exploration. And she's not mentally ill at all. And the way it made her feel was horrible. IMO, curiosity over any subject wouldn't make you feel as dark as she did. So although I appreciate your take on it, and I can't all together rule out what you are saying, it just doesn't seem to fit my experience here.
Nelly, I appreciate your thoughts as well, but up until this time she had NEVER spoke of things like this before, neither had I had any experience like this with my son who is six years older than her. And although we were very active jw's, like I said before, that 'demon', 'satan' stuff was really not given much infuses outside of what we heard from a meeting or convention or something. But I will agree with you on one thing, I think I have underestimated what our kids were hearing from the platform. As adults, once you've heard this crap once you tend to tune it out the rest of your life while your sitting at the same ol' meetings, but I never thought about how it must sound to a child for the very first time. Maybe because she was 7, her attention at the hall changed into really listening to the words and she got that stuff from there??
And remember, when we got rid of the mattress it all stopped. But one poster said evil doesn't attach itself to objects so idk........wf
