    I remember being told that demons have different personalities just like us. Some are mischievous while others are really malicious and want to do serious damage

    How many demons can you fit on a head of pin on a sassy miniskirt bought at a garage sale?

    Uhh, I give up. How many?

    Here's another stumper. If a women is raped in her bed by a demon, and she doesn't scream, is it fornication?

    I mentioned on Worldly Andre's "Crazy JW Urban Legend" thread that New Orleans is "known" for demon activity. At least in the mind of a local elder.

    It also seems that the most stories of demon possession seem to come from cultures that commonly BELIEVE in the power of the demons. Coincidence?

    Smart Demunz. They know the best spots to hang out.

    Exactly.

    I think the Bible alludes to them differing in glory, one from another, like the stars.

    This is interpreted to mean that they have unique personalities and some have greater power than others.

    I was kind of thinking along those same lines the other day. But what I was thinking was that the fact that "demons" seem to be so much more prevalent and stong in poor, underdeveloped regions like Haiti and Africa, would seem to indicate that a lack of education and sophistication is conducive to people being supersticious and therefore subject to believing in demons.

    So, could that not be a reasoning point for "believers", both in angels and demons; both in the good and bad unseen forces? Could they not ALL be the product of an uneducated mind that is open to sugestion?

    Hummm...

    Wow that is so horrible yet so funny at the same time.

    one of the study books (Daniel? Isaiah? don't remember now) said that the four kings of the earth (could have that wrong too) were each controlled by a demon, sort of a lieutenant to Satan himself, if I got the gist correctly. I remember my mother being really impressed that the "society" figured that out.

    You have the gist of it, Hortensia, excepting a few details.

    It was the Daniel book.

    The idea is that Michael was detained in his mission by an angelic, albeit evil, Prince of Persia.
