I guess when a third of God's children are no longer 'in the truth', he would not qualify to be an elder.

Leolaia thanks thats very interesting.
****Raises hand*** I'm one of those who believe in demons because I lived in a curse house.
Revelations was written for the Roman empire in mind and 666 for anyone familiar with numerology means neron ceasar.

The mention of a third in Revalation was explained to be just symbolic of a large number but not meaning it really is a third.
Ohhh I see the ole arbitrary symbolic literal game.
So a third is symbolic kinda just like the number 144,000, ohhh now I see.
Why is Satan so stupid to go up against Jehovah with such a small amount of allies?
Also I made a mistake in the amount of fallen angels. (if taken literally)
There are 101,000,000 good angels worshiping God . Sooooo
Total of amount of angels bad + good would need to actually be 151,500,000 .
50,500,000 demons! Yeah even more demons
Whatever
From JW Revelation it Grand Climax
The dragon has authority also in the spirit realm. With his tail, he "drags a third of the stars of heaven." Stars can represent angels. (Job 38:7) Mention of "a third" would emphasize that a considerable number of angels have been misled by Satan. Once these came under his control, there was no escape for them. They could not return to God’s holy organization. They became demons, dragged along, as it were, by Satan their king, or ruler. (Matthew 12:24) Satan also cast them down to the earth. This no doubt refers to Noah’s day before the Flood, when Satan induced the disobedient sons of God to go down to earth and cohabit with the daughters of men. As a punishment, these "angels that sinned" have been thrown by God into the prisonlike condition called Tartarus.—Genesis 6:4; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6.

Thus, two opposing organizations have come clearly into view—Jehovah’s heavenly organization as pictured by the woman and Satan’s demonic organization that challenges God’s sovereignty. The great issue of sovereignty must be settled. But how? Satan, still dragging the demons along with him, is like a vicious beast of prey eyeing a potential victim. He is waiting for the woman to give birth. He wants to devour this expected infant because he knows that it poses an ominous threat to his continued existence and that of the world over which he exercises rulership.—John 14:30.
