One of the enduring myths of being one of Jehovah's Witnesses is that it somehow prevents attacks by the demons. In reality,
nothing could be further from the truth.
How is "demon possession" or demon attack outwardly defined? If you define it by a manifestation of a seizure or violent fit,
then clearly, there are JW's who continue to suffer from epileptic seizures. Becoming a Witness doesn't cure them.
But suppose you define "demon possession" by finding people who claim to be overcome or seized by other personalities?
Here again, by this definition, being a Witness doesn't necessarily prevent this. How so? Because there are now plenty
of Witnesses now claiming to have "multiple personalities", being regularily overcome by "alters".
The Society hasn't been able to overcome or address this contradiction - and it still continues in many congregations.
As to defining the "multiple personality" state, one can only quote the wisdom of one bureaucrat ( spoken about taxes)
"If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it''s a duck!". Some brothers conclude that first century Christians could not
define this malady any other way, other than "demon possession".
Whatever "demon possession" might be, it should be clear that when Witnesses claim to be overcome by other personalities
and pushed into behaviors they find inappropriate ( including hallucinations, anorexia, or being able to hold a job)
then the "demon" problem remains - and simply "calling on Jehovah" by name, doesn't work.
Facts like this should wake up existing Witnesses to clear away the false security they feel enables them to accuse others
of having "demon influence" - while it is openly in congregations, in a practical sense. Thus, the nonsense about
Halloween or the fear of reading Harry Potter - and this while the Watchtower also collects millions of pieces of paper with
occult symbols printed on them! * It doesn't "work" !
