Im Mai 2003 beantwortete Der Wachtturm die Frage, ob ein Christ, der Stimmen hört, zwangsläufig von Dämonen angegriffen werde, mit „No“, hielt fest, Schizophrenie sei „a disease often treatable with medication“, und sagte: „while an individual who reports hearing voices or who has other disturbing sensations may not want to discount demon harassment, he should definitely be encouraged to consider investigating whether there is a physical explanation“.

The Watchtower, “Questions From Readers”

1. Mai 2003 · p.31 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“It is reported that some who suffer from schizophrenia, a disease often treatable with medication, hear voices or experience other symptoms that could appear to be something uncanny. ... while an individual who reports hearing voices or who has other disturbing sensations may not want to discount demon harassment, he should definitely be encouraged to consider investigating whether there is a physical explanation for what he is experiencing.”

A ruling answering 'If a Christian hears voices, does that necessarily mean that he is under demon attack?' The answer begins 'No.' A footnote refers readers to the 8 September 1986 Awake!

Hinweis zu Herkunft und Überprüfung

Hinweis zur Vertrauensangabe. Full item read on the Watchtower Online Library on 19 September 2026; the page marker in the page's own HTML places it on page 31. The ellipsis marks an omission of about 20 words. An earlier version of this record cut the quotation at 'something uncanny.' and resumed at 'he should definitely be encouraged', which removed the concessive clause that governs that sentence; the clause has been restored.

Notes. The answer still leaves demon harassment open: the reader 'may not want to discount demon harassment', while being urged to investigate a physical explanation.
