    I remember a Watchtower printed a story about how demons twisted (broke) the necks of people in Africa.

    When I'd lose my temper as a child, certain family members would accuse me of being "demonized".

    Which, of course, got me even angrier.

    ...

    Here's a tip, moms and dads...

    ...accusing your kid of being in league with the Forces of Darkness just 'cause he's pissed off at the assholes at school is - let's not beat about the bush - shitty parenting.

    To be fair, fear of demons was a cultural phenomenon in the U.S. in the early 60's. It seems to have been touched off by a 1959 book by a French Monsignor on the dangers of the spirit world and quickly crossed denominational lines and even found its way into pop-culture via movies like Rosemary's Baby.

    Alleged demon / ghost / supernatural experiences were common fare even in the Reader's Digest at the time, so the JW's were not completely alone in this lunacy.

    Also relevant is that there was a craze in the 1920's about seances and contacting the dead. Lots of people believed in it. The WT came out against it and labeled it demonism even then.

    Jesus Extracted 2 demons from men and drove them into pigs, which all ran a marathon to the top of a hill and plunged down from there into the sea, committing mass suicides.

    Question for Christians:

    Can any beleiveing christian perform such "Demon Extract and pig mass suicide" events today ?
