Does that ol' Satan have a hold of you? Doesn't it feel good?
by Swan ini remember that jws used to say "that ol' satan has a hold of them.
i guess i'm one of "them" now.
i have no worries about what books to read, movies to watch, music to listen to, getting my watchtower studied (and looking up all the scriptures), getting my time in, trying to incidental witness, getting to meetings, reading my bible, reading the day text, saying my prayers, what to eat, what to wear, and if anyone will see me and "counsel" me if i screw up in any of these areas.
