The International Bible Students Association has issued an urgent product recall for the October 2015 public edition of the Watchtower magazine in the UK. Several copies of the magazine were found to contain demons, having been infected after a worker at the British branch office attended a yoga class. The worker has now been disfellowshipped, but the IBSA reports that contaminated magazines had already been shipped to congregations across the UK.
Branch office spokesman Andrew Morris IVX said: "This product recall affects the printed public edition of the October 2015 Watchtower only. As far as we are aware, it is not possible for demons to infect digital copies, only physical media. We are therefore asking everyone in the UK in possession of a paper copy of the magazine to destroy it and ask their congregation elders to print off a replacement copy downloaded from the JW.org website."
The following instructions on how to safely dispose of demon-infested items were provided by the branch office:
1) Do not give the infected literature to another person, as this may cause them to become possessed by the demon.
2) Burn the magazine in a metal container.
3) Bury the ashes at least 3 feet (1 metre) deep.
4) Mark the burial plot so as to avoid accidentally exposing any part of the possessed material.
If the magazine will not burn, it is likely that your copy is possessed by a particularly strong demon, and additional steps should be taken:
1) Pray over the magazine, making sure you say the word "Jehovah" out loud at least 3 times (it is a known fact that demons hate to hear the word "Jehovah", as do most people, and will usually try to flee when they hear it).
2) If the magazine still will not burn, you probably don't have strong enough faith - seek the assistance of your local elders, who will pray with you.
3) If it still doesn't burn, the service committee should immediately contact the circuit overseer who will provide further instructions (and a can of kerosene).
Those who have already read the magazine should look out for any symptoms of demon possession, such as things going bump in the night, or being molested in a sexual manner by an invisible presence while sleeping. Anyone who suspects they might have been possessed should seek professional help.
