Have Jehovah's Witnesses ever encountered a demon-possessed person in the mission field or in other contexts?
score:5
Accepted answer
Jehovah's Witnesses preach in over 240 lands, collectively reporting over 2 billion hours in the ministry annually. I'm sure there are many such encounters with demon-possessed individuals. However, these stories will be quite rare because (1) demon possession is generally rare, and (2) Jehovah's Witnesses don't aim to spread fear of the demons by telling such stories. The ministry is about telling the good news.
I was able to find a couple of experiences published in old Yearbooks and Watchtowers.
- Watchtower Dec. 1, 1968 - brief experience from Corfu island, Greece
- Watchtower July 15, 1980 - experience from Godo-olo, Suriname
- 1986 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses - experience from Chad
- Watchtower Sept. 1, 1987 - detailed experience from Suriname
- 1988 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses - experience from Malaysia
