From NTA: "The Bible does not attempt to prove the existence of demons any more than it attempts to prove the existence of God. It simply reports on their activities as if its readers accepted their existence. Nor did the early church fathers have a problem with the reality and personality of demons. ...
"But we need not fear Satan and his demons as long as you cling to God's truth. Their only weapon is deception." Our only weapon is truth and its power to dispel the darkness.
NTA's books educate people to the reality of the spirit world and report on the possibility of their activity in our lives. The Bondage Breaker does emphasize that he is not looking for demons around every corner. It would be a good idea not to give up on the book. Many people have been helped with the light NTA brought to the subject, myself included. He emphasizes truth as the only weapon against deception and it is the tactic of Satan and his minions to deceive, as we first saw in Gen. 3.

And this is the thing- you may appreciate NA and I may not find his book helpful, but to insist that an assembly accept, be bound by NA’s teaching as the only true, up to date speaking is way off the mark. The New Way insisted that all accept WL/LSM or else! It was a move that was totally divisive. I should appreciate you, and you me because we are in Christ- fellow believers. A ministry should not define the relationship of the saints. I would think someone like Minoru would take a long look at how LSM took over control of the LCs and what damage it has done to the saints and the testimony and standard the Churches should hold, and speak out against it. But instead, to say he is full of WLs spirit is to continue to damage and mislead the saints. It seems to me that he is gunning to be the new deputy authority- the whole blended bro thing has got to be running out of steam. How does anyone read the scripture and think it has any validity?
