The Family's fascination with demons

Maybe some of you older guys and gals will remember how in the early days the Family (then the Team) used to make fun of tripped-off pentecostals who were obsessed with finding and naming demons and so-called capturing them inside glass bottles. I remember seeing a hilarious skit mocking pentecostals who were so into demons. And gosh, I can recall quotes in the early letters where Mo said that it was unhealthy to have such a fascinations for demons and their workings. He said that one guy he knew got so into studying demons that be became practically demon posessed himself.

I'm not saying I believe in the existence of all these demons the Family prophets are having visions of. I think their brains are overwrought and they simply have an overactive imagination. The doctrine says the demons exist so when the prophets close their eyes guess what they see. But isn't it interesting that the Family is now so focused on demons and Tamar is drawing so many demons.
