Jaakko Ahvenainen kirjoitti:Jehovan todistajien käytäntöä en tässä asiassa tunne.
Manaamista ei ole, mutta orastavan mielenhäiriön demoniin heijastavat todistajat kyllä kutsuvat vanhimpia avuksi. Näistä on sitten olemassa toinen toistaan naurettavampia uskonvahvistuksena leviäviä kaupunkitarinoita. Yhdessä tapauksessa vanhin ei oikein saanut maljakkoa rikki vasaralla kun siinä oli demoni. Vasta vanhimman kehitettyä tarmon huippuunsa demoni luovutti ja maljakko särkyi.
Kun olin räkänokka jt, niin mulle opetettiin, että suurin osa (tjsp.) mielisairaista on demonien riivaamia. Mielenkiintoista onkin se, että silloin demonit eivät häirinneet jehovantodistajia käytännössä lainkaan. Nykyisenlainen demonikammo on myöhempää perua ja lienee osin voimistunut kirpparien yleistymisen myötä.

“BE YE THEREFORE WISE AS SERPENTS”
“I have an elder sister to whom I have always been very attached, and since coming to a knowledge of the truth I have greatly desired my sister to share the same privilege of being a servant of The Theocracy. I wrote a letter to the brethren in the town where she lives, asking them to call and witness to her, but all their efforts were fruitless. At last I decided to make a visit myself. The main stumblingblock appeared to be her superstitious belief in the power of a certain juju in her house. She believed that should she eat any food made from cassaver, including the native food called gari, or listen to any message other than that received from this juju, she would die.
“Understanding the African’s superstitious belief in the power of medicine, I approached the problem in the following manner: I took some ordinary water and put it in a bottle. When I reached the house she told me that she understood I had now joined the ‘Armageddon’ company and that other ‘Armageddon’ people had been calling on her, but she could not agree with them as she had a powerful juju. I then told her that for her good I had obtained some very powerful medicine known as ‘Juju Driver’, and that even since I had been in the house the power of her juju had been broken. I then produced the bottle and told her to drink some and also to rub some on her body, after which she would be able to eat gari without any danger of death, because the juju had already run away.
“At first she was still afraid to eat the gari, but after more encouragement she took some, particularly after she watched me eat some. I made her repeat the same thing the next day and again the third day. By now she was convinced that the power of the juju had really been broken, so she asked how I had managed to get such powerful medicine. I told her to get her Bible, and we started reading some passages together. For three days we studied together, and then I told her about the water in the bottle and how the real ‘Juju Driver’ was the water of truth. She laughed and said that God did indeed move in mysterious ways. By the time I left she was attending the company studies and sharing in the service.”—Nigeria publisher. (w50 May 15 p. 160)
Aivan samalla tavalla kuin valehtelu ei aina olekaan valehtelua, niin pahojen henkien kanssa leikkimielinen puuhailu ei olutkaan niin paha kuin lakritsipiipun syönti oli 1950-luvulla.
