Many, many years ago
It was about 1972 so I would have been 9, my sister 15.

Sunday morning & the folks had gone off to church leaving me & Sis at home for reasons which escape me - normally we were dragged along too. Doorbell goes, I answer it to see to two Witnesses (I now know) standing there. They said stuff I didn't really inderstand & then showed me a copy of Watchtower they were pushing. It meant nothing to me but it did have a picture of an impy/devil-type creature being flung off a cloud by an angel. Looked really cool.
(Short fill-in: my Sis had been reading Dennis Wheatley books recently, "The Devil Rides Out", "Unholy Crusade", etc, that sort of thing, terrifically popular at the time & they all had garishly occult pictures on the covers.)

"Oh you don't want me, you should talk to Susan, she's into Black Magic" says I, as my sister appears behind me looking witch-like with long black hair & holding one of our cats she'd been brushing.
"Black Magic?" she asked enthusiastically.
"Oh no, you mustn't do that!" they said, looking very worried & swiftly walked away. They never came round again.
The whole thing went right over my head, being only 9, but when my folks returned they thought it was hilarious & my Sister still tells the story to this day.
