Some more ‘color and detail’ that the WT writer added that I thought was a bit comical is found in par 15. In this paragraph Satan’s schemes of causing us to have a less than heartfelt zeal for God is likened to the diming of a light bulb from 100-watt to around 90-watt. If someone unbeknownst to me kept changing my reading room lighting to a lesser wattage day after day, I immediately would figure out that someone was playing a trick on me and not take it too seriously. Furthermore, it’s’ not like we can blame Satan for every small instance in our lives that may cause us to slow down in our service to God even in the slightest way.
Come on! Sometimes I wonder if the JWs didn’t invent the expression ….’The Devil made it!’
