  I heard this tired line re-ran again at this year's convention. Satan supposedly wanted to be like God and be worshiped - you know, the whole pride thing. They really made a big deal about how his "thoughts" led to his sin in the Garden of Eden and how we need to control our thoughts to avoid the same result. (Let's just say the BITE model from Hassan was available in spades at this convention.)

  Anyway, I got to thinking about this whole premise - Satan wants to be worshiped. Well it doesn't make a lick of sense.

  If Satan is so interested in having the limelight and taking the glory away from God and anybody else, then why is he hiding himself?

  WHY IS HE HIDING????!!!!

  Do you know how much fame and glory a leader of the spirit world could have in today's society of 24 hour news? He could have billions of people tuned in to see him, listen to him, and watch whatever he does.

  Could you imagine how many people would tune in for an exclusive interview with Satan? LOL...

  Another teaching that doesn't stand under 5 minutes of critical thought.....

  According to the Jews Satan was an antagonist kinda like the other guy in the room giving another opinion but that's it.

  The only thing I can think of, would be maybe by him "coming out", he would also be PROVING that God himself exists, too. Really you cant have one without the other, lol.

  I am not saying this as fact, I am just following your train of thought, which I actually think is a good one. It does make sense that if Satan wanted ALL the power and glory, wouldn't he want to be front and center, idk.

  There is the famous saying, that the greatest trick the Devil ever did was to convince the world he doesn't exist. Perhaps by remaining in the "shadows", he can control the world, and deceive humans away from God. Kinda like the "power that be", that conspiracy theorists believe TRULY run the world. They want to use a puppet government, while they stay behind in the shadows, ushering in the "new world order", while controlling the money and power.

  OR, its all a bunch of bullshit, and is an ancient fable to help other men, control other men. If a priestly class can make other humans believe a Satan exists, and ONLY they have the power to save you from him, then they have control over those people. Sounds like what the evil slave, the Governing body, is doing to over 8 million people right now.

  Satan has gotten into the limelight and gotten millions to follow him, But instead of Beelzebub, he's going by the name of Trump.

  How about were just seeing several unchecked generations of corrupt world banking?

  The whole monetary system is backed with *nothing*.

  That's right, it's pulled right out of thin air and sold to you and I.

  I wonder how long the 'have-nots' with hold back their revolution.
  Satan is not a player in this game.

  Are you sure he's not . . .

  Sounds just like the GB!

  The Watchtower got all kinds assumptions going on like the reason God allows wickedness is because he wants to prove something about his rulership being superior and prove that Satan his archenemy is a liar.

  Satan's desire to be like God is a fiction and a mere projection of their own narcisstic desire which they are in denial of.

  The GB have many childish assumptions about reality and the Bible perhaps senility awaits or is already stalking them due to their delusional state of godhood while running Jehovah's organization.

  Of all the Billions and Billions and Billions of stars, galaxies etc up there in "space", the issue of universal sovereignty has to play out on this one planet?

  Ah ha....

  Hey how about Jehovah's bet with Satan about Jobs worship isn't it cool the way he makes God the sucker and maneuvers Him into action against Job. Talk about egotistical pride look how easy it is to manipulate Jehovah because of it. Seems like psychologically speaking that Satan is Jehovah's shadow projection of his own evil side which he is in denial of. Jehovah can do no wrong just blame it all on Satan and the garden of Eden event.
