    The Mormon Bible.

    Someone thought demons were bothering them----they did the obligatory sweep with elders---found the Mormon Bible---burned it----problem solved.

    I know someone else that was having particular problems with a lamp. (I suspect wiring)

    Someone else that loaned out a stereo, they must have played demon music on it, because after that, if they tried to play a song, they heard the sound of someone breathing over the music (I suspect it was their own breathing amplified by fear. They had heard the person borrowing the stereo liked some bands that were demonic.)

    A book bag. A sister bought a bookbag, and all kinds of things started happening. Things went missing. Things fell down and hit her in the head. She found an iddy biddy cross on the bookbag that had escaped her notice. She scraped it off. The demons left her alone. (I suspect normal clumsiness)

    Demunz are just everywhere. They are passengers that disembark to make a true christian's life just miserable. They are like roaches.

    This topic reminded me of one time about 5 years ago when I mentioned to a brother that I had just went back and watched all of the episodes of "Twin Peaks". He replied with a tone of righteousness that he couldn't watch that because it was too "dark". I let it slide but I knew that he was a major Star Wars fan, and yeah there is absolutely nothing mystical, magical, or supernatural in Star Wars.

    Kind of shows how that we will justify what we want to.

    Hey also saw the magic 8 ball mentioned. Sweet! I never leave the house without checking it for advise first.

    And nobody eats at Asian restaurants? Can't forget the fortune cookie. If we were out and others in the group, and there was always someone who you could tell was setting a good example by not opening theirs, I would grab one and say that this one was theirs and read it out loud. HaHa! Was that wrong?

    When I went to Asian restaurants with JW's (and this happened more than you'd think, as I don't favor it, but they LOVED filling up on all those carbs) every single one of them, from Elder, MS, Pioneer, to R&G opened and read their fortune cookies. I remember this, because the first time, I didn't know if they would frown on it. They all did it, read it out loud, and chuckled. Every Time.

    And when they got home, their dishes were floating, or so I assume.

    I think my underpants are demonised, there was allways something decidedly un-Christian going on in them that even fervant prayer couldnt stop.

    If I was a lot younger I might have approached the Elders to see if laying on of hands might have been the answer?
