Harry, my friends dad was an elder, he said a pioneer blamed satan on getting pregnant with her husband and having to come off pioneering.
that person was going door to door teaching. Out of the religion now, I see the farce of it, back then i laughed and didn't think twice about the fact she was out peddling nonsense.
The JW's claim to be united in beliefs, but they vary so much in the details, especially by location. Satan as a charachter and role in theology is VERY poorly understood, but then these things are NEVER discussed because they don't make sense logically, or in any fashion. They just throw all the bad crap on his shoulders in reference, but with no explanation.
In Australia I actually heard someone say ....DINOSAURS..... We're Satans fault, he and his demons having buried them to distract us and wobble our faith. UFO's were from satan according to my PO in the UK, he said they were real, were the demons and satan, and served as a distraction. Being the PO we all drank it in. He even had scriptural proof....ooooh..... The star that led the magi to baby jesus was... An unidentified, flying object. I actually repeated this nonsense myself.
the joke is of course, they can pile dinosaurs and ufo's at Satans feet, but if they knew their bibles, that would be all they could blame him for.
The biggest irony of it all, is the misery and depression and guilt and strain and pressure they feel wearing them down..... Is from nothing less than the belief system they occupy itself.
so sad.

Exactly my point! Is it possible that she was involved somehow? JW's with a University Education from reading the WT and Awake that need to learn a little bit more about the birds and the bees.

Wow! That one never made it to Canada... well not to me anyway... that's just pushing it even for them!
I think I do remember the UFOs being explained that way... and I admit... I think I believed it...
/embarrassed
... and yeah... the end result... depression... self-pity, etc... Satan's gunning for you... that's gotta suck.

This would be the talk.
"He Will Bruise You in the Head"
The speaker interviews a few folks and at the end asks each one what they would like to see happen to Satan.

Oh yes, one Jw suggested I passed my medical school entrance exams and my interview with the help of Satan. He asked me if I found it odd that I got in so smoothly..
Having not sat next to me the whole previous year watching me revise through the night, taking exams, passing exams with distinctions and spending weeks preparing for interviews in workshops, I can forgive his ignorance at how easy it may have seemed to him. The irnoy is he had no idea what he was talking about in regard to higher education, university or even the first clue about medical school. there were hundreds applying for every seat. satan didnt get my ass a seat, blood sweat and tears did.
Having sat medical exams every year for 6 years now, if I knew of a way to get help with them, even via be'elzebub, I'd be shaking his hand and signing that hellish scroll with my blood quicker than a Wonga.com sales advisor
