    Mentally replace the word 'spirit' with 'magic'

    14 Jehovah has equipped us to resist the spirit
    of the world. The apostle Paul said to “go on acquiring
    power in the Lord and in the mightiness
    of his strength . . . that you may be able to resist
    in the wicked day.” (Eph. 6:10, 13) By means
    of his spirit, Jehovah fortifies us to withstand Satan’s
    efforts to mislead us. (Rev. 12:9) The spirit
    of the world is strong, and we cannot avoid it
    altogether. However, we do not have to be corrupted
    by it. Holy spirit is even stronger, and it
    will help us!

    Hopefully it'll make your next sunday just a little less miserable.

    It works throughout the whole study article. I'm guessing it'll work for next weeks as well.

    I'm not sure why it amuses me so much.

    "Holy spirit is even stronger"

    What is this based on? Did the spirit work out so it's stronger today than last year? Did Jehovah get more spirit now so that there is more of it? Will it be even stronger tomorrow? Should we wait til it's so strong it can't contain itself. LOL HS stronger, good one. :)

    Such a Harry Potteresque twist to the WT is both entertaining and... magical!

    "Holy spirit is even stronger"

    The really bizarre thing about that statement was that Satan was always presented as knowing everything about us and knowing just the right temptation. Satan was presented as omnipresent, knowing and tempting each and every JW, and every person on earth. Satan never had "holy spirit", yet he was presenting as being in a position of great knowledge, universal presence, and seemingly unlimited power.

    I used to snicker when one dumbass elder would pray and ask Jehovah for, "An extra portion of Holy Spirit." Thanks MOM! Can I have a BIGGER slice of that cake?

    Yeah, like, can you spend more time staring at me while I'm in the bathroom, God?
