I used to. I realised after begging God for help on my hands and knees on numerous occasions that the only person who was going to change anything was me.

Well my son is an atheist, and he didnt experience a demon attack exactly, but he did relate a very weird experience to me.
He was with two friends in a car and broke down about 1 am, somewhere in the countryside, south of England. They phoned a breakdown service and whilst waiting to be picked up they saw a man, dressed in suit of armor with a sword, come out from a bush, run in front of the car, and disappear behind a tree. All three saw it and thought 'crap what was that'. He ran in front of them about three times before it finally stopped. I suggested perhaps they should stop taking drugs! He said two of them had been drinking, but the driver obviously hadnt, but they all saw the same thing. I said perhaps it was someone on the way home from a fancy dress party having a bit of fun, but he says they were miles from anywhere. He has a theory that like people have memories, objects may have memories too. I am not sure what to think. An interesting theory. Mass hallucination is a strange phenomena.

As another poster commented, from the inside of jwland, no. It all made perfect sense to me while I was in. Now I have been out for several months and I am not being constantly told what to think, I can see it for what it is - one screwed up religion.

"True Christians Give Out of Love"
by dig692 inin the congregation bible study for the week of nov 30, the subject of christmas is studied (along with easter, birthdays, and halloween), but under the subheading related to christmas being a pagan holiday, jesus not being born on dec 25, yadda yadda, the point is brought out that true christians give out of love, not out of compulsion or on any specific day (not the exact quote mind you).
true christians give out of love...so all the "bad" christians who give presents to family and friends and loved ones on christmas don't do so because they love those to whom they give gifts, but rather because they have to...because its dec 25...?.
is this the kind of tactic the wts has employed to maintain control of their followers?

That as per, is just JW propaganda. Most of the jws in my old cong had a 'present day' - one special day a year to show love to family members. So what is the difference between that and doing it at Christmas? Same spin, different date.

I dont like unexpected visitors, unless they are just popping in for say 15 minutes, and only stay 15 minutes and not 3 hours.
