OBW, you are introducing an idea that has not been represented here. This is not a discussion about demon possession. I think the introduction of this into your argument is what you call a straw-man.
I am more than willing to drop the term demon or evil spirit and just say devil. I'm not into demonology or casting out demons, etc. That doesn't mean I'm ignorant of the enemy behind the scenes. These terms that SC jumped on were mainly introduced in the quotes I put out by Jessie Penn Lewis. The point of the quotes was not to define or focus on demons or evil spirits but to talk about deception.
The only reason to mention the devil behind the scenes is to keep the whole problem in perspective. The real problem is that behind idolatry is the devil. Witness Lee even told us this. Maybe someone knows where that is.
Thankful Jane
