unclebruce that's scary! My fear of demons was cured when I overhead some spiritualists "contacting the dead" and I realised it was all a load of baloney.
One of the long term effects of growing up a JW...

Yep! If it's big, hairy and bites it probably lives in Oz. (like gran from Bundaberg).
The demons are scared of Australia -

It was in Papua actually but that's a lot closer to Bundy than suburban Adelaide

Hey Uncle Bruce, I'm off to watch the league now and I don't want you trying on any of that freaky chicken killing mumbo-jumbo that goes on over there to stop the Kiwis from winning!

I agree with Gary above; speak to some professionals about these issues and dreams...it will help you put them into perspective and generally aid your sense of wellbeing.
Keep doing more of what you fear most; learn about the occult, there is nothing wrong with learning about these things as predominantly our fears are of the unknown or the unexpected; when you have more knowledge about these things the less you will fear them.
It worked for me anyways!

I'm so glad I had a more secular down to earth dub upbringing with none of this superstitious shit involved.
Dubs would drone on and on about how the truth had freed them from the lie about everlasting torment in hell but it seems that some of them were then filling their kids heads with crap about demon attacks!

JW's do pride themselves on being safe from all of that spiritualistic stuff...but I'll tell ya, I never heard so much about demons and being attacked all the time as I did when I was a dub. I went from not worrying about that sort of thing at all to being worried about it all the time. Stupid cult.

My mum periodically conducted a demon hunt throwing out anything second hand that might be causing my sisters nightmares. I lost a lovely black suit that way (the nightmares must have been caused by some external enemy - it couldn't have had anything to do with all the talk about death & demons or the sexual abuse or the violent bashings and stuff).
