  Howdy y'all,

  This is a competition of sorts. On another thread, some have speculated that the WTBTS will come up with ways, talks, articles, to keep the local jw's off the internet. The WTBTS has, in the past, demonized the internet - but more jw's come to xjw sites as we read, and those are only the ones we know about (ie. lurkers are lurking.)

  Soooooooo, following is the start of a list of articles that I suspect the WT Writing Department is working on as we smile:

  Awake!The Demons came into my home through the Internet Written by no-name woman in tears who was saved by her local elders. They helped her burn her demon-infested computer. "I could hear them scream as the fire blocked their re-entry into my Christian home."

  Next.................

  "...While the internet can serve some good, as a whole it is a corrupt, damaging means of communication and influence. Of course, what you view on the internet is a conscience matter. But, one would do well to reason that if something is bad as a whole, why have any dealings with it?"
  They did the same thing with rap, heavy metal music, and rated-R movies: "They're all conscience matters, BUT if you do any of those things, you will be looked down upon by your contemporaries."

  So many stupid people, so few comets! :o)

  DARK SECRETS OF THE INTERNET

  Many people in the world consider celebrations of holidays such as Christmas to be just harmless fun. In general they consider it to be a time for families to get together and just have a joyous time. But we know that Santa Clause is in reality a tool of Satan. We know the celebration of Christmas has it roots in the dark and evil forces that rule this earth, and is steeped in false worship.

  Did you know the Internet shares a similar background? Most people don’t, but Jehovah has reveled this hidden information to his “slave” in the time of the end. Even Ex Vice President Al Gore is a bit confused on this point and he claims he invented the Internet.

  The Internet has it evil roots in the ARPA-net. ARPA stands for Advanced Research Projects Agency. Do you know who funded ARPA-net in the 1960’s? It was none other then the same Military forces Jehovah has vowed to destroy at the battle of Armageddon. Knowing that, you must ask yourself a question. Who’s side do you want to be on during this war? Will you be safe in a Kingdom Hall or perhaps having a fine share in the field ministry when the great battle begins or will you be foolishly engaged in Internet activity? The wise and mature Christian heeds the warning of the “slave” and will know what to do.

  You got it, Freeman!

  Awake! JEHOVAH WILL TAKE BACK THE INTERNET!

  In a further reference to Brother Freeman's (not his actual name as he works undercover in the British Government) remarks on the origin of the Internet:

  We're quite sure, from the scientic information we've gathered (please don't spend time referencing - as we have the Patterson facilities to do this research), that the now-trounced, pitiful, theory of evolution plays no part in the actual creation of the Internet. However, Jehovah God has not revealed to us if He was the Creator, and then Satan the Devil, the evil first liar, the father of the demons, the baker at the banquet for the fallen angels, stole this Creation for his own dastardly use - or if Satan invented the Internet to irritate Jehovah. But we know, through visions, that we see Jesus commanding the Internet along with the 144,000 Anointed. This is a Good Thing.

  All Jehovah's people must be forwarned! Satan is the Spoiler of the Internet and he and his spoiled angels (now demons) are lurking inside your computer (especially if you bought it second hand or the person who built it wasn't one of Jehovah's Witnesses) waiting for you to type in the words "Jehovah's Witnesses." Jehovah God has revealed to us - it's a coded phrase - a sign, might have you - for the demons to wage war for your very eternal life. Don't give them access to your family - as you alone will have to answer to Jehovah for this negligence on your part. This is just as serious as not carrying a Blood Card and getting into an accident - Only You Have Accountability with Jehovah.

  But for those of you who use the internet as your way of earning a living in these soon-to-be forgotten last days? Stop it and have no fear! After Armageddon, which is approaching us at lightning speed, God will take back power of the internet, just as he does this dispicably dirty earth.

  Do not be misled in these Last Days! Jehovah will have total Internet power over the demons!

  Exactly, Waiting:

  While there are no guarantees of accuracy, the net puts one into contact with a much larger circle of experience.

  case in point: I called my son to ask him to help us with our reluctant-to-start '90 Honda Civic SI. He checked the computer code according to factory instructions. No results! Then, he typed "'90 Honda Civic SI hard starting" on the internet. We read reports of individuals experiencing the exact problem. They said the computer was wrong. Don't expect any help from Honda. This is the problem. We followed their suggestions. Vroooooooooooooooooooooooooom!

  The internet can work in a similar way for troubled JW's.

  Has Satan Overreached YOU??

  Has Satan overpowered you? There is a new crafty mechanism of this arch-enemy of Jehovah. He has inspired wicked worldly men to devise a means to come into your home interactively. His ‘wisdom’ is a mere click a way. This is the deceptively harmless tool of information: computers and the Internet.

  The evidence of this is the prevalence of his favorite weapons: pornography and apostates. The Internet is saturated with this foul-smelling odor. What could one expect from worldly wisdom? (1 Cor 99:99) The Bible warns us about this kind of thing at 1Thess 99:99.

  Some have even fallen under the deadly twisted reasoning that they have clicked themselves into by landing up at an apostate’s clever website. Minor children have even stumbled onto such specious reasoning.

  Would it not be better for all true Christians to shun this clever disguise of Satan who turns himself into an angel of lite (1Cor 99:98)? At the worldwide headquarters of God’s people, there is no access to such vile sites. Is it not with a complete hatred we do hate them? (Ps. 9,999:99)? Of course, one may falsely reason that it will never happen to them, but there have been many reports by the circuit overseers of brothers and sisters falling out of the Truth.

  Let us all remain faithful till the end . . . . blah blah blah
