No. The only way a person can be relieved of an evil spirit is for them to come to know Jehovah God and ask his help.
“Be watchful,” and, “Put on the complete suit of armor from God that you may be able to stand firm against the machinations of the Devil” and his demons.—1Pe 5:8; Eph 6:11.
You have to know what the "complete suit of armor" is and how to "put it on" and what the "machinations of the devil" are.
You must get rid of anything demonic or spiritistic in your home such as ouija boards, crystal balls or some piece of furniture or decoration that has demonic influence to it. You would not want to have gargoyles and books about witchcraft, Harry Potter, sorcery or divination in your home.

Jehovah's Witnesses are not taught how to deal with this. They would have no idea whatsoever if this happened. They would not know what to do. They aren't taught this for a reason, a very specific one.
Fortunately, Christians know how to deal with it and have no fear, thanks to Jesus Christ. I'm reminded of a lyric from one of my favorite songs, "Your Great Name".
"The enemy, he has to leave, at the sound of your great name."
Evil spirits have to be commanded to leave in the name of Jesus Christ. It's very simple... as long as you have faith. Real faith.

In the bible it said that people remove evil spirits in the name of Jesus christ. Those who have faith in the Lord can do it. I myself have evil spirits, but there losing the battle. Jesus christ is with me in I know this evil spirits will leave me.

hi there.
jws will repeat the words of the evil spirit. they do this already, deceived into thinking it is "truth" from Jehovah god, when it is deception from the demonic watchtower.
proof.
here are watchtower doctrines compared with demonic channellings from the book "Communications with the Spirit World" by Johannes Greber - they are identical.
Christ is God’s First & Highest Creation
JG: Christ is the highest of the spirits created by God and the sole one to be created directly. ... Christ Himself was not God, but only the first of God’s sons. ... Christ is the highest spirit which the omnipotent God could create. Christ ... is the first created “son of God”, and as such, His highest and most perfect Creature. (p. 301, 267)
WT: Thus the Scriptures identify the Word (Jesus in his prehuman existence) as God’s first creation, his first-born Son. (Insight on the Scriptures Vol. 2 p.52) ... This means that [Jesus] was created before all the other spirit sons of God, and that he is the only one who was directly created by God. (You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth p. 58)
JG: Christ was therefore the Son of God, and claimed to be nothing more. He was not the Deity. Not once did he say: “I am God.” (p. 330)
WT: Well, did Jesus ever say that he was God? No, he never did. Rather, in the Bible he is called “God’s Son.” (You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth p.39 Christ is God’s Agent in Creation, Not the Creator)
JG: Save for the first created Son of God, the entire spirit-world was brought into existence not by direct Divine creation ... but was called into being through the Son upon whom God had conferred creative power.(p.267-8)
WT: The Son’s share in the creative works did not make him a co-Creator with his Father. The power for creation came from God through his holy spirit... ((Insight on the Scriptures Vol. .2 p.52)
Scriptures That Show Christ Is Not God
JG: You see how illogical it is for your [Greber’s] former religion to base its contention of the Divinity of Christ upon the phrase: “I and the Father are one”, in the face of the fact that the same oneness that exists between them is promised to all who believe. (p. 333)
WT: This charge of blasphemy arose as a result of Jesus having said, “I and the Father are one.” (Joh 10:30) ... this did not mean that Jesus claimed to be the Father or to be God ... ((Insight on the Scriptures Vol. 2 p.54)
JG: After His resurrection, Christ said: “I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. (John 20:17) (p. 364)
WT: He taught men, not to worship him, but to worship Jehovah his Father ... “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God.” (Make Sure of All Things p.283)
JG: Again, nothing is known by the Son of the Day of Judgement, the knowledge of which is God’s alone: “The day and the hour of fulfillment are known to no one, neither the angels of heaven, nor to the Son, but to my Father alone.” (Matt 24:36)
WT: Also, Jesus explained that there were some things that neither he nor the angels in heaven knew, but that only God knew (Mark 13:32) (You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth p. 39)
Christ Did Not Rise Bodily From The Dead
JG: Not even of Christ was the natural body raised. (p.385)
WT: Jesus Christ was spoken of as “the first resurrected from the dead.”(Acts 26:23) This means he was the first to be resurrected of those who would not have to die again. Also, he was the first to be raised as a spirit person. (Paradise on Earth pg. 172)
Christ’s Post-Resurrection Appearances Were Materializations
JG: Materialized in human form, Christ appeared to those who had been closest to Him in life ... The fact Christ after his death upon earth appeared to his followers in material form has led you to the erroneous conclusion that His spirit re-entered His former physical body. In reality He made Himself visible in the same manner in which all spirits do so, namely by materialization of his spiritual body. (p. 351, 387)
WT: Jesus Christ ... his resurrection was “in the spirit,” to life in heaven. .... However, for 40 days after his resurrection Jesus appeared to his disciples on different occasions in various fleshly bodies, just as angels and appeared to men of ancient times. ((Insight on the Scriptures Vol. 2 p.786)
watchtower doctrines are from evil spirits.
so jws should leave the demonic watchtower and accept Christ. scripture is sufficient.
