Where would Jehovah's Witnesses be if they couldn't blame all their problems on THE DEVIL?
Maybe they would be forced to confront --- FINALLY--- their own foolishness!
Case in point: I had a nice chat with Sister A. in which I expressed my deepest sympathy for her tired daughter,
who is married to a lovable - but half crazy - elder I know. This affable goon may have seriously injured the health
of one of their children ( by accident, the brain needs oxygen). They are endlessly broke from one failed scheme
after another. Every fact of logic points to his having made a mess of his family - with much more trouble to come.
- unimpeded because, of course, SISTERS MUST be in subjection!
And how does Sister A. explain this? "Satan is certainly after us".
IT AIN'T SATAN, SISTER!!!!!!!!!!!! ( how much improvement might be had by a threat 'to divorce your sorry ass'?)
How did Satan ever get to be so MUCH MORE ATTENTIVE than God , in this twisted theology?
He's always watching, waiting, intervening --- while God apparently has the day off. And Satan is behind EVERY attempt
to reform the Watchtower - it's all 'apostasy' , you know.
Will a day ever come when these poor suffering people WAKE UP and take personal responsibility
for their sad lives
or will they always use Satan as their fall guy?
