OK, this is a very old thread but I found it Googling what Jehovah's Witnesses used to tell me about whether or not Satan and the Demons could read your mind. They asserted it was not possible and I was just wondering if I could find any scriptural reason they provided to back up their reasoning. None of my Google searches provided me any such information. However, as I was doing this search another hit came up discussing another thing Jehovah's Witnesses would say, and that is that certain forms of "meditation" would open you up to demons taking over your mind. So, here's my question, in as much as "meditation" ultimately has nothing to do with "body posture" but with what is going on in one's mind, i.e. "what they are thinking", how would Satan or the demons even know you were engaging one of these forms of meditation, in order to posess your mind, if your body posture were not engaging any "traditional meditating postures". Even if you were engaging "traditional meditating postures", you could engage those postures without entering any meditative state, so the posture alone gives away nothing about what is going on in your mind. For the sake of arguement, let's say I'm simply lying prone on the bed with my eyes closed and my hands folded across my chest and, I decide to direct my thoughts into a meditative state. If Satan can't read my thoughts, how can he possess me if I direct my thoughts into a meditative state? He would have to know what I was thinking to do that, wouldn't he? I can't believe I spent 10 years there without seeing the inconsistencies in their reasoning.
