Did the Devil and his Demons do it? (page 2)

Rod P

Whoa, there AGuest,

You are taking me way too seriously.

I was actually doing a "spoof" about the devil. I do not for one minute attribute my experience on the road to the Devil or the Demons.

I was alluding to the fact that the WBTS always talks about phenomena being of the Devil. Maybe they would see my experience as of the devil too! LOL

Evil Force,

I don't have a problem that there may well be an explanation that has to do with the subconscious mind. If so, great!

I am also prepared to accept the possibility that there is such a thing as "angels" or even "spirit guides"

So who knows for sure?

One thing I do know. This was nothing to do with the Devil. The rhetorical question at the top of this thread is totally rhetorical, tongue in cheek! Everyone one else is joking around about the debille on this forum, so why can't I.

tetrapod.sapien,

I sent you a reply, but then discovered it never made it to this thread.

Anyway, I am prepared to accept the possibility that such supernaturel entities could exist. At the same time, as I have explained to others on this thread, I am just having a little fun asking a silly question about the Devil.

May you have peace!

I do understand that you were "spoofing" - we (earthling man) tend to "spoof" a lot when it comes to certain things, particularly those with regard to Satan. But you attributed a blessing to Satan, dear one. Are you SURE you want to do that, even in jest?

For my part, I am obligated, out of my love for those whom my Lord loves, to give a warning, even a reproof, if it means such one's life. Whether the intended hears... or refrains. Would you rather I had let you risk blasphemy against the Holy Spirit?

Dear one, please KNOW... although we, earthling man, may consider some things "funny", certain things simply are not excused by humor, particularly those things that blasphemously glorify Satan while ignoring glory to God. And if I am no longer your "friend" because I've told you the truth, let it be as you wish.

For my part, my peace remains, and I remain...

YOUR servant... and a slave of Christ,

AGuest,

I mean no disrespect, and I certainly do not want to trample your "pearls" into the mud.

And the last thing on my mind is to blaspheme God or to glorify Satan.

What I am getting at is that IMO, JW's in general, all too often attribute certain experiences to be of the Devil, and they also attribute certain events in their lives as being evidence for Divine Intervention, when neither one is necessarily the case. There could be some very natural explanations for what happened.

Too many times people put God, or conversely, the Devil, where He/he is not, when this has little to do with it. This, we should guard against. All too many times events have occurred in history that were based on, or attributed to, something that was neither supernatural nor miraculous, or evil and Satanic, when the Truth was, they were not (eg. the Salem Witch Trials). There is a grave lesson to be learned here.

I think there are a lot of religions out there who prey (not "pray") on the masses, the superstitious, and the gullible, by playing the "God" or "Satan" card to control them. That is so wrong!

That is the implicit point of my question on this thread, without taking anything away from God.

I completely understand... and I am sure our Lord does, as well. My apologies if you think I judged you; I did not, but feared for you. In a loving kind of way, sort of "big sister hipping little bro" kind of way.

May the undeserved kindness and mercy of my God and Father, the Most Holy One of Israel, whose name is JAH, of Armies, and the peace of His Son and Christ, my Lord, JAHESHUA MISCHAJAH, be upon you and your entire household, if you so wish it.
