    My guess is they are.

    Maybe in a different way than walking under a ladder, or seeing a black cat cross their path.

    I'm talking about demons, and spirits, and things of that nature. I hear a lot of talk about these kind of superstitions, mostly among j.w.'s on this board, and also in the j.w. material.

    Is this almost a "requirement " to believe? Does this make you more "reseptive" to respond to the tactics of the j.w. cult?

    By the way, I don't believe in demons and spirits creatures.

    Any thoughts?

    I remember when the Pac Man video game came out and Elders warned the youth not to play it. Why? Some of the game animations were called " ghosts". Are they still telling kids to stay way from video games? -Or the big bad demons will get ya!

    peace,
