Yeah, you've got the idea. I like the Indiana Jones reference; it's true, part of the JW daydream is a confidence that they really know their Bible and theology better than all those other so-called Christians do. Actually, I'll give the JWs a nod on that point; the sect started out as a Bible study group, and with the multiple weekly readings and the preaching and the dedication and the role everyone plays in giving "Ministerial School" presentations, I'm sure the average JW is more well-steeped in Bible-iness than a lukewarm churchgoer.

I don't personally recall hearing stories involving angels – I'm not even sure what the official Watchtower stance would be on claims of angel sightings – but I can imagine stories of the sort you report. Me, I held a secret fascination with the demon stories, because, hey, it's like a sanctioned version of the ghost stories we were dissuaded from enjoying. (Although, as you know, no matter what you try to do, you cross some line with fundies. Once when I prodded Mom to retell a certain "demon-possessed house" story she'd heard, all I got was an admonishment to not "dwell on it". Sheesh. So I had to go back to surreptitiously getting my ghost stories from the National Enquirer.)
