    Have you ever thought about the number of demons residing here on earth.

    10 But he would not come alone, for Matthew 25:31 said that "all the angels" would be with him. How many might that be? Revelation

    5:11 says: "I saw, and I heard a voice of many angels around the throne [of God] . . . and the number of them was myriads of

    myriads." A myriad is 10,000. One myriad times one myriad is 10,000 times 10,000, a total of 100 million angels! Yet, Revelation

    speaks in the plural, of "myriads of myriads" of angels serving God. That is hundreds of millions, perhaps billions or more. Under

    Christ's direction, these spirit creatures are assisting God's representatives on earth in separating mankind into two groups, one for

    "everlasting cutting-off," the other for "everlasting life."-Matthew 25:46; see also Matthew 13:41, 42.

    Rev 178,179
    The dragon has authority also in the spirit realm. With his tail, he "drags a third of the stars of heaven." Stars can represent angels.

    (Job 38:7) Mention of "a third" would emphasize that a considerable number of angels have been misled by Satan. Once these came

    under his control, there was no escape for them. They could not return to God's holy organization. They became demons, dragged

    along, as it were, by Satan their king, or ruler. (Matthew 12:24) Satan also cast them down to the earth. This no doubt refers to Noah's

    day before the Flood, when Satan induced the disobedient sons of God to go down to earth and cohabit with the daughters of men.

    As a punishment, these "angels that sinned" have been thrown by God into the prisonlike condition called Tartarus.-Genesis 6:4; 2

    Peter 2:4; Jude 6.

    REV. 5 : 11
    Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands,
    and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders.

    10,000 x 10,000 = 100,000,000 million faithful angels
    50,000,000 million demon angels is a third of 150,000,000 total angels .

    At the bare minimum there are 50,000,000 million (+ 1 ) demon angels residing right here on earth.

    Insight vol.1 612:
    The purpose of all such demonic activity is to turn people against Jehovah and the pure worship of God.

    Reports from around the world show that Satan and the demons are as malicious as ever. Some people they strike with illness.

    Others they harass by robbing them of sleep or by giving them terrible dreams or by abusing them sexually. Still others they have

    driven to insanity, murder, or suicide.

    Satan has the rest of the world, don't you know, he doesn't need to bother with the worldly people.
    That means there are 7 demons for every JW.
    No wonder dubeeyas are under so much pressure, poor things.

    Yep, any kind of questioning of JW doctrine or understanding of the bible the person is automatically viewed as demon possessed or influenced by demons. Crazy isn't it????

    They like to read the newspaper. Alot of JWs report newspapers floating around the room at night

    Happy Birthday BALSAM !!

    These beliefs induce paranoia. The demons are around every corner -- especially at garage sales where SMURFS will come alive and start talking in a demonic voice. And Jehovah is always waiting to see if you're going to do or think about something bad! Everywhere you go, good spirits and bad boogeymen have their eyes on you, just because you're a Jehovah's Witness. (Remember Satan already has the rest of the world, so he doesn't have to work as hard to keep them evil.)

    Every JW has 7 demons assigned to them. 7 x 7,000,000 = 49,000,000 demons.

    No wonder it's so hard to get to the meetings !!

    that's their problem! Demon worship. Ignore the little pests, like I do, and you won't have any problem! They pay more attention to demons than their god, and none at all to JC.

    Do other Christian religons teach "one third of the angels become demons "?

    Looking for
    signs, omens, portents
    not demon-inspired, but divine,
    Guides to life if they are successfully deciphered
    But if these are just random,
    and coincidental,
    I’m planning a Fool’s Journey
    sure enough.
    For just as some believe in
    Guardian Angels,
    Divine Ones individually assigned,
    (There are enough to go around, myriads and all)
    There could be
    Tormenting Demons,
    fallen ones,
    Princes of Persia and other locales
    tasked with inciting and maintaining
    our misery.

    Seems strange that I have had infinitely more trouble with Jehovah Himself, of which there is only one, than with all those demons. Back when I was in, it was more like 15 demons per witless minimum--and I never had a problem with any of them (unless you count leading me to see the Watchtower Society for the scam it actually is as a "problem".)
