    So, is this a worldwide, unwritten JW superstition, or just limited to Northern California?

    Statements like: "Satan always seems to work extra hard around the Memorial".

    Anybody who gets DFed or Reproved, etc. this time of year it's always attributed to extra work by the Debil.

    Of course the rest of the year confirmation bias kicks in and those data points are ignored.

    How about in your area?

    Never heard that one before.

    I did hear that Satan and his minions were "extra busy" around Halloween, because it was the anniversary of the Flood and they were upset over their "children" being drowned.

    California may well be a special case. I'm surprised that any JW can live in this state and not perceive the machinations of the Devil on every street corner and in every home. It's the Devil's playground, and the Memorial must have him salivating much more than usual. Californian JWs maybe more susceptible to the Devil's influence than JWs elsewhere, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the crafty Devil himself who is planting the very thought of his increased activity into the minds of these witnesses. I'd be moving to another state or country.

    I have heard more than one JW compare San Francisco to Sodom & Gomorrah.

    Hmm, let's see. Maybe the demons were in fact more active around here last REJECT Jesus Party. However, they were not that active around that time in 2006 or 2007.

    And, in 2004, the demons were more active around the Grand Boasting Session than during the REJECT Jesus Party time. If anything, Jehovah was more active around the 2005 REJECT Jesus Party--and in more REJECT Jesus Parties than I care to remember. Including 1984, when I wasn't even anything more than a worldly person trying to mind my own business, and that Almighty Lowlife Scumbag barged in (without even giving me a waste of paper) by disrupting my chances with the opposite sex, showing me He wanted to groom me for the Value Destroyer Training School before I was even on my way in.

    Seems this year, the demons are taking a vacation.

    What exactly does all the mean WTW?

    I hope satan is working hard. My success was always limited when I relied on jehober. Now that I am in the control of satan and his demons, I have never been happier or more successful.

    So, Satan, I want more. You need to work harder. And you don't need a silly memorial as an excuse. I want you to work harder all year long.

    "Satan always seems to work extra hard around the Memorial".

    "Satan and his minions were "extra busy" around Halloween"

    Where do the JW get the "demon-o-meters" they use to measure the level of demonic activity?

    Wizard, this is a perfect example of writing unintelligible comments. When I can understand your contributions, I enjoy your comments. But this is ridiculous!

    Demonic activity is higher in threads where minimus posts. It's true. They even look alike. See?

    Coincidence? I think not.
