In my jw daze, they were always warning that Satan transformed himself into an angel of light, and he knows what to tempt you with, blah blah
An elder that studied with my ex told him that satan can't read our minds, so if we don't act on certain impulses, he won't know what to tempt us with. In other words, he explained, if you see a porn mag and pick it up, then satan will work with that. If you leave it be, he won't know it's a temptation.
So, when I was divorced and not scripturally free, I used to think about an ex-boyfriend. A LOT. But I didn't know how to find him because his had family moved away. Every now and then I would think if I let satan know how very badly I wanted to talk to this person, maybe he'd find him for me. LOL THEN, I'd be all freaked out that I had such a thought.
I don't believe in satan anymore, so I couldn't use him as my private detective. I used facebook instead! wait WAIT WAIT!
Maybe WTBTS is RIGHT! FACEBOOK IS SATAN!!! prayforme
