Bullet Person: The Watchtower's Criterion

Read WTF P230 (Awake, page 27 Dec 8, 1973).   Their criterion is shown when they try to show that Satan is a real being.   They state: "Can an unintelligent 'force' carry on a conversation with a person?   Also, the Bible calls Satan a manslayer, a liar, a father (in a spiritual sense) and a ruler. (John 8:44; John 14:30)   Only an intelligent person could fit all those descriptions."   Show foils: Christian view of God +2.
