Jehovah's Witnesses have survived Hitler, Stalin, and third world dictators too numerous to count. 126 years of false expectations
have failed to dissuade them. If you were Satan, what would you do?
If I were Satan, I would use a long term program of draining them down spiritually, coupled with placing key agents in the Watchtower
Hierarchy. Thus:
1) Stop doctrinal "maintenance" - like a car, every system of theology needs repair and upgrading, now and then. This is all the
more true of a small religion with odd or un-orthodox beliefs - and the Society used to do an excellent job of this, quickly responding
to every challenge the world threw in its way. The old "Evolution" books were powerful examples of this ( regardless of accuracy!)
Subjects like transfusions and the Trinity received a depth of defense that doesn't exist anymore.
Now, we have almost daily news about evolutionary finds - and damning information from "apostates" - but little or no response.
This helps to create a Witness that is "lightweight", unable to answer challenges to their own faith or anyone else. It also helps
get rid of Witnesses with greater thinking ability.
2) Gradually tear down the infrastructure that supports the Witness subculture - food service at assemblies? Not needed.
Hard bound books? Too expensive. Subscriptions? Save the money. The Bethel Subculture - in which individual Witnesses
maintained a closeness to the leadership by their sons and friends there? - downsize it. A Witness College? Are you kidding?
Awakes twice a month? Let's get rid of this "truth-lite" crap.
Next on the agenda? Start downsizing conventions and assemblies. Eventually start trimming Circuit Overseers.
3) Ignore needs that should be obvious - Witness kids falling out of the "truth"? Challenged by internet porn, cohabitation,
video games, self mutilation, depression, South Park, rap music, illicit drugs, smoking, "hooking up", and more, to a degree
and intensity that their parents never faced ( do you know how hard it was to see "full frontal nudity" when I was a kid?)
Just wag your finger disapprovingly. This, by itself will insure that this will be the Watchtower's last generation. Let's all
guarantee full assimilation into the world, en masse.
4) Destroy accumulated moral capital - So, you bravely faced the Nazi's , huh? What you need now is more headlines and
lawsuits generated by your coverup of child sexual abuse. Meanwhile, the oldtimers die off and gradually we get Witness kids
to be ashamed of being known as "Jehovah's Witnesses"
5) Take a swan dive off the temple! - Jesus was tempted to dive off the temple by Satan, "the angels will catch you".
Strip the organization of everything saleable and drive it with the thought that Armageddon must be almost here. Cancel
your "return tickets" and bet everything on red on the roulette wheel of life! Believe your own propaganda!
6) Place your "agent" into unassailable power! - did Satan "enter into Judas", one of the apostles (Luke 22:3)? Did Jesus
once address Peter as influenced by Satan (Mt 16:23)?
Why can't Satan put "his" men in charge of the Watchtower? Emphasize that no one is to oppose them or "touch God's
annointed" so that they can't be stopped. You could do this with one man, who could gather power to himself thru
cold hearted manipulations. He could appoint his cronies over everything and come to dominate the organization
completely. He could slowly do all of the above and impose his cold heartedness on the "truth", while decrying
Witnesses being "social". He could be nicknamed "The Boss" by Bethelites.
7) and finally, enlist Jehovah into downsizing the organization! Read 1 Kings 11: 14, 23 and context.
Solomon and other old men had grown corrupt and uncaring about the nation of Israel ( 1 Kings 12:4) Jehovah "raised up
resisters" against Israel. Do you wonder why the organization can't really fufill Isaiah 54:17 about the Internet weapon,
exposing them and causing them headaches? Have you ever considered that God might be fed up with this
unloving, magazine peddling, deceptive , mercenary mess that the organization has become - and wants to end it?
You lurkers have much to think about. If I were Satan, I wouldn't change a thing.
