Do You Realize That Satan Is Supposed To Be Almost As Powerful As Jehovah?

    My mom was telling me that we have to be especially on guard during these last days because Satan the Devil is setting his sights upon anyone he thinks he can get.

    I mentioned to my mother that JWs give too much credit to the Devil. I explained Satan is supposed to be a single angel gone bad. She accepted that....then I said Satan cannot be 2 places at once. She said, "well, Satan is superhuman!". I replied, "Even Jehovah is not omnipresent. He sits on his heavenly throne". She agreed. Yet "God is GOD", I said. "He is 100% perfect and HE can do anything because HE alone is God". She concurred.

    So then I said, "If Satan is working hard on a person in this area, he CANNOT be in China at the same time. He is a spirit angel. Do you know of any Bible accounts where an angel was able to be 2 places at the same time???" She said, "No".

    So there you have it.....don't worry about Satan the Devil being after you. There's billions and billions of people in this world. The chances that he's gotten to you and not someone else is pretty slim.

    To believe as many thousands of Bible-based religions would have you believe, the Devil and God are playing some sort of universal chess match, and we humans are the game pieces. AND -- only by following the human leaders (who somehow have special insight into this chess match) can you live a successful life or "be saved".

    There will always be individuals who want spiritual leaders to "guide" them. To borrow a phrase from the Bible, it's like the blind leading the blind.

    Those individuals who choose to take more control of their life aren't unduly influenced by such hocus-pocus supersition about "Devil this and God that". Even if they choose to believe in God, they still realize they must be in control of their life to get things accomplished.

    Won't they just come back with 'his many demons will find you' ?

    I think I suggested that the other day in a post, that jw's give satan more power than God. Or so it seems to me. If they believe that there are legions of demons out there just to 'get' them, don't they also believe there are good angels or beings to help us? Or is it just that the demons/devil are more powerful and more motivated?

    Strange is it not that 2000 year old human ignorance still lives and breaths in this modern world which we live today.

    Thats a strange realization in itself.

    The literature usually emhasizes how Satan will personally go after you if He senses a weakness since HE is such a master of deception.

    Yeah, but The Debil is Da Boss. And from what I can see, he's too busy to orchestrate everything.

    If the major caution is the deminz, just say so. Everybody blames the poor Devil.

    i dunno how he has time to go after anyone.. in the 90s the watchtower said he and the demons were busy watching married jw's have unapproved types of sex to get their jollies off since angels cant materialize and have sex with humans themselves.
