So, the local JW troops have stepped up my study because I have had a difficult time swallowing the "truth", and have sent a MS to speed things along. He mentioned Satan tempting Eve, and I said I had never read that. Sure, so there is a serpent tempting Eve in Genesis 3, but no Satan. His partner shows in Revelation that Satan is called a serpent. I allow the serpent could be Satan, but we are not told that so it is human opinion. Then he says Satan is a demon! I ask which scripture says that. Instead of an answer I get a tirade about me splitting hairs. Still, no scripture to support that opinion. Now the creepy part. Our intrepid MS smiles and tells me, "I used to be like you!"
Like hell he was!
He doesn't know me. It is unlikely he was ever much like me, because if he was he would have asked a few questions before swallowing the blue pill. At the rate he is going he will likely never be like me.
I am wondering if such a condescending attitude is what I can expect as normal from this study, or if he is a rotten apple and an exception.
