    My attempt at answering.

    First how many angels are there?

    Revelation 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.

    Dan 7:10;A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him:
    thousand thousands ministered unto him,
    and ten thousand times ten thousand
    stood
    before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

    1,000 X 1,000 = 1,000,000

    10,000 X 10,000 = 100,000,000

    Total 101,000,000 Angels

    A third have fallen .

    Revelation 12:4;
    Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky
    and flung them to the earth.
    The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth,
    so that it might devour her child the moment he was born.

    3 / 101,000,000 =

    33,666,666 Demons

    That is a lot of demons, no wonder the JW are obsessed with them.
    This whole 1/3 angels rebelling against God has always puzzled me.
    Imagine if you are a carpenter and 1/3 of all the products you build are defects
    What if you’re a manager and 1/3 of your department hates you.
    Suppose you had 6 kids and 2 became criminals.

    Isn't it baffling that Jehovah the Almighty God doesn't have a better heavenly family?

    btw isn't that a weird number that poped up for the amount of demons?

    Thanks for the reminder. I just emptied my pockets and found 2 plus a hobgoblin.

    I will have to reprimand my gods for slacking on the job.

    Now if you could get the ones out of your head you'd be fine. lol

    Most Dubs would be mortified to realise that on average they have 4 or 5 demons following them around all day. Making them miss that return visit by five minutes... making the car break down on the way to the district convention... etc...etc...pesky demons!

    According to WT theology, the demons are the fallen angels. In early Judaism and Christianity, the demons were the spirits of the dead Nephilim (the offspring of the fallen angels), while the fallen angels themselves were bound and cast into darkness, to be imprisoned until Judgment Day.

    Over 79,000 were sold by Dodge in 1971! It was a muscle car in the Dart line.

    Doesn't the whole number obsession just prove that this is all bullshit?

    The mention of a third in Revalation was explained to be just symbolic of a large number but not meaning it really is a third.
