I the demons are a manifestation of human behaviour--an excuse as to WHY people display evil and an excuse for WHY people commit wrong...the blame is drawn from the person to an invisible spirit creature. Now the WT clearly says they cant see our thought and yet they say they are somehow controlling entertainment, medical expertise, etc etc.....well hich one isit? I have never had an experience with a demon directly...what i HAVE seen is the human minds manifestation of demons put on screen from his imagination which provokes fear and fear of that manifestation, in turn, could lead to events one may take as a demonic event. For instance i heard a story of a demonic picture that couldnt be burned, trolls with jewels in their belly somehow coming to life lol all induced by fear. And yet in their own publications they condemn such stories (in this very chapter): "Some people live, eat, work, and sleep in dread of wicked spirits. Stories about powerful acts of demons abound. Such stories are often told with relish; people are fascinated by them. Should we share in spreading such stories? No, servants of the true God avoid doing so for two important reasons. 20 First, by circulating stories about the exploits of the demons, one promotes the interests of Satan. How so? God’s Word confirms that Satan is capable of powerful works, but it also warns that he uses “lying signs” and “deception.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9, 10) Since Satan is the archdeceiver, he knows how to influence the minds of those who are inclined toward spiritism and how to makethem believe things that are not true. Such ones may sin- cerely believe that they saw and heard certain things and may relate their experiences as truth. In time, their sto- ries become exaggerated by constant retelling. If a Chris- tian were to spread such stories, he would, in effect, be doing the bidding of the Devil—“the father of the lie.” He would be spreading Satan’s propaganda.—John 8:44; 2 Timothy 2:16. 21 Second,evenifaChristianhadsomerealencounters with wicked spirits in the past, he would refrain from re- peatedly entertaining fellow believers with stories about such things. Why? We are admonished: “Look intently at the Chief Agent and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus.” (He- brews 12:2) Yes, we are to focus our attention on Christ, not Satan. It is noteworthy that while on earth, Jesus did not entertain his disciples with stories about wicked spir- its, although he could have said much about what Sa- tan could or could not do. Rather, Jesus focused on the Kingdom message. Therefore, in imitation of Jesus and the apostles, we want to center our conversations on “the magnificent things of God.”—Acts 2:11; Luke 8:1; Ro- mans 1:11, 12. There is so much flippy floppy ideal changes here its hard to get your head around it. Why the hell have the chapter on Satan if you arent supposed to talk about demon and Satan? Lol Last thing....is archdeceiver a word? Spellcheck says no.
