I too had a good laugh when reading that article. I remember having a discussion with one of my (inactive "in the truth") relatives about this issue a couple of months ago. She gave me the same crappy answer about demons entering your mind when you are meditating. I told her that your brain is never truly "empty" or inactive, since if it were we would die . Also if she were mainly referring to "consciousness", I asked her why we weren't being constantly attacked by demons in our sleep, or when sedated (in surgery)? I generally dismissed her thinking, but that recent JW article basically brought up all those assinine arguments. It's like demons have absolutely nothing to do except attack "Jehovah's people". Shouldn't they be having sex with women or something ? As for the people who accomplish "incredible feets", perhaps chemical processes in the brain are responsible for people walking over coals (in a somewhat quick manner), and not demons?
The "Nimrod connection" was the funniest part for me. Imagine the "hunter of animals and men" getting all flexible and nimble on his yoga mat . Hey, after a hard days work of building the Tower of Babel, a man needs to relax . Also, this shows how JW's are so clueless about world history. If this image that they spoke of went back more than 4,000 years, then it couldn't be Nimrod now could it? Hell, they seem to ignore the fact that civilizations existed before the alledged time they date Adam & Eve (6,027 y.a.). Maybe Nimrod didn't exist, and his story is a myth and legend (gasp!), perhaps even based on stuff from the evil "yoga people"? Their theory that all of man's civilizations sprang up after the alledged Tower of Babel incident ~4,000 y.a. is totally unsupported by available evidence, anyway. Maybe if there were an Asian GB member, this yoga rule would change .
