Knowledge That Leads to Everlasting Life, “Chapter 12: Resist Wicked Spirit Forces”
“Even if you have not practiced spiritism, get rid of anything having spiritistic uses or overtones. This includes books, magazines, videos, posters, musical recordings, and objects used for spiritistic purposes. Also included are idols, amulets and other items worn for protection, and gifts received from practicers of spiritism.”
A study book used for Bible studies with new adherents. The paragraph applies the example of the Ephesians of Acts 19:19 and is followed by an experience from Thailand in which a couple 'got rid of objects associated with spiritism' and were relieved of demon harassment.

Notes. This formulation extends beyond a person's own former practices to gifts received from spiritists. It does not mention second-hand goods, house contents or purchases generally.
