I remember a few stories I have heard from other religions, where they gave those elaborate demon possession stories and how the demons or Satan could not handle being in a church and would leave the bodies in come out in this wild fashion. Mind you, I thought these were fake as a Witness and post-Witness. More are an example of mental issues, rather than Satan the Devil and his mighty horde of demons. Yet as a Witness, we tended to see Satan as more of a calm business man who was a little more sly then showy. So we did not expect to see someone crying out from demon possession exits, etc. Yet did we see the Kingdom Hall and meetings as a place he would not come in to, or some where he would have a hard time attending? From my own personal memory, I would say that we never viewed the Kingdom Hall as all that powerful. In fact, I remember hearing of examples of people doing things in the hall that seemed to indicate that we felt Satan was involved (meeting people they had sex with out of marriage with, or cheated with outside of their marriage). So with this in mind, why was the Witness view of their own worship place, so weak? Did the Witnesses have nothing that was strong against the dark side, or where they just allowed to be beaten down at will from the other side? I guess Satan liked attending the meeting, and maybe that is why they were so boring, he made them boring to get us to leave. LOL
Could Satan attend meetings, or get into the Kingdam Hall?

The meetings are so boring because Satan isn't there. He's such a great party animal - do you think he'd be caught dead in a kingdom hall? What a downer!

Only if he didn't have a beard and got at least 10 hours of time in per month.
