Those who created the story of Satan might not have foreseen that later Jesus would use the same wording as Satan used in the fictitious story of temptation, as given in Genesis. Satan is not real. If he is real, he would have known the shape of earth as being round, and would not have taken Jesus “to a very high mountain” as to show him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. (Mathew 4:8) Here Satan reflects the eroneous knowledge of the ancient people that earth is flat.

Satan said:
You will become like God, if you eat of the tree of knowledge of good and bad. (Genesis 3:1-5)
Jesus said:
You will become like God, if you love both good and bad people alike. (Mathew 5:44-48)
What Satan and Jesus said is one and the same thing—we can become like God, if we fulfill one condition. Trying to become like God is not a sin, but is the very purpose of life, and is the ultimate spirituality.
By retelling exactly what Satan supposedly said, Jesus was actually rejecting the Satan account as given in Genesis. Jesus is not aware of the theory that all humans became sinners when first parents became sinners. He knew some are righteous, hence does not need a saviour. Hence he declared: “I came to call sinners, not the righteous.” (Luke 5:32) He was only echoing an earlier statement in the OT: ‘The righteous do not need an external saviour.’ (Habakuk 2:4) His stand will remain unchanged even when he comes second time: (Mathew 16:27)

Subject is not about whether God will answer your prayer or not. Its all about how a prayerful disposition or meditation helps your brain and the body as a whole. This shows the designer of the body is one God (no matter in what form or name you conceive or call Him). Prayer and meditation reveals your trust in God, which means you seek harmony with God. Harmony means good health—pysical, mental, emotional .... Article does not endorse any religion or any specific belief, it only says prayer and meditation helps.
It indirectly proves that God views all religions as one, or impartially--none is better than the other!

Dear Reader, 
Millions of Americans believe prayer works. Yet the mainstream media tends to avoid the subject altogether.
But our Mind Health Report team at Newsmax Health wanted answers to questions like these:
- Can modern science explain prayer?
- Does praying strengthen your brain and prevent mental decline?
- What benefits, if any, does prayer offer you — physically, mentally, and emotionally?
- How a specific amount of “prayer time” per day can help prevent memory loss, mental decline, and even dementia or Alzheimer’s . . .
- The #1 prayer pitfall that can actually make you sick if you’re not careful (this is one of the most important bits of wisdom you’ll ever gain) . . .
- 47 scientifically proven benefits of prayer, including pain relief, reduced risk of death from heart attack or stroke, lessened anxiety or depression, and more . . .
- And much, much more . . .
on the Brain Science Behind Prayer Right Now! This video does not promote any specific religion or spiritual practice. But it does shed light on a practice that 3 out of 4 Americans engage in on a regular basis — a practice basically ignored by the mainstream media. Please don’t delay watching this. You could get busy and forget — or the video could be removed and you’ll have lost this special opportunity. Dedicated to your healthy mind and brain,

Did Jesus really cast out demons?
by exWTslave infirst of all there is no devil and there are no demons to cast out.
it is impossible for god (whose basic qualities are love, goodness ... etc) to allow demonic forces to exist as to confuse, mislead and subvert his childrenwhereever they are, especially in view of the fact that there exist determinism in the physical world and free-will in the mental world.. anyone who is deep into the psychology and psychiatry knows the truth behind the so-called demon-possessions.
what is at the root may be any of the following:.

There are some who experienced communication from their dead loved ones. For others this is yet to be experienced. I belong to the former. I had an agreement with my Witness dad—who ever dies first should communicate to the other regarding the condition of the dead. And my dad did—but only once, and said he would not do it again. In the brief communication, he told me no religions are used by God, His agency on earth is the Governments as a whole. (Romans 13:6). This explains why Governments are better than religions—UN and US had a Black at their top most position where as WT Society and Catholic Church had never had a Black President or Black Pope respectively!

First of all there is no devil and there are no demons to cast out. It is impossible for God (whose basic qualities are love, goodness ... etc) to allow demonic forces to exist as to confuse, mislead and subvert His children—whereever they are, especially in view of the fact that there exist determinism in the physical world and free-will in the mental world.
Anyone who is deep into the psychology and psychiatry knows the truth behind the so-called demon-possessions. What is at the root may be any of the following:
- Emotional and physical abuse as a child
- Multiple Personality Disorder
- Periodic increase in the actions of electromagnetic fields around earth which may disrupt brain activity in a disturbed individual. [People who seem to be possessed have lives which seem to be out of their control and filled with a variety of personal obsessions and compulsions. People who hear voices commanding them to do bad things are likely to be schizophrenic, they are not possessed.
- A friently spirit or a relative’s spirit may try to contact with a view to help the bereaved or to settle some karmic account—which may be mistaken as evil spirit.
History shows that Satanic entities are a myth perpetrated by those who seek to CONTROL the minds of others for their own ends!
JWs’ much pulicized claim that Bible has stood the test of time is another myth!

Genesis account shaken!
by exWTslave inpeople who believe that every verse of the bible is inspired are in for a shock.
according to genesis account, god created heavens and the earthin a one-time act.

Interestingly, the Chinese people were not touched by Noah’s flood. They had a flourishing civilization at the supposed time of Noah’s flood.

Does anyone remember the article which mentioned that many non-jws would survive armageddon?
by cultBgone ini seem to think it was a november wt issue but can't remember precisely, but it was probably printed within the last three years.
after being told for years and years that everyone not a jw would be destroyed, this was amazing to see in print!
yet when i pointed it out to others, they just shrugged it off and left me wondering what i was missing.... does this ring a bell with anyone?.

They way JWs treat those who disagree with them (not even greeting them, not even eating with them), and the way they treat woman (not giving them any leadership positions) put JWs as violators of the “Kingly Law” found in James 2:8, hence make them the “the disgusting thing stands in the holy place” and “Man of lawlessness.” Hence, when the Armageddon strikes, it could be the JWs who are going to be struck FIRST!

A Global flood has never occured for the following reasons:
1) Righteous man Noah and his family had to carry more burden than the people who were simply drowned to death—taking minutes to die (whereas Noah had to build an ark to accomodate all the species, a mammoth task for an 8-member family)—Certainly an idea that will not originate with God, who cannot punish the righteous more than the wicked!
2) God repented of his own act and promised: “He will never again bring a deluge...” (Genesis 9:11)—something not becoming of God
3) Jesus declares: God has never destroyed any wicked people, at any time in the history! (Mathew 5:44-48)
