Don't JW's hold that Satan sent the star to lead the Magi so Herod would find out about Jesus and kill him?

Is that really what the JWs believe????WOW
Seriously what is the point in posting? You might as well make one thread and call it watchtower.org place a link to it and then you never have to paste again....![]()
*Satan: And I'd of gotten away with it too god! If it werent for your pesky visions sent via dreams!!!*
Note I used a scooby doo saying, this whole thing is so freaking scooby doo, why bother with such an anal plan? Why not walk in there snap Mary's neck before she can do anything and slaughter the child yourself? Afterall, you are the fallen prince of darkness... We're not talking about some little puff here.. This guy is a monster.... Or make the star descend and land on the barn or whatever.... Why go to such a stupid amount of planing which has a high rate of human failure calculated within it. If I were Satan... This world would be so much more doomed lol...
It seems to me that the elements of the nativity story set up the legitimacy of the messiah thing. Each little thing comes from the Jewish prophetic tradition, and they all join to demonstrate who Jesus is supposed to be. The Magi show up to demonstrate how Jesus birth at that particular time is no accident, but rather an astrological event fore-destined to occur at that cosmologically significant time.
There is a pseudo-scientific trend in modern Christianity which seeks to minimize the astrological roots implied by dispensationalism. For anyone who doesn't know, dispensationalism starts with the idea that, in God's plan, there is a time alloted for each aeon, or Era. Jesus didn't just come at any old time, he came at a certain time that the Persian astrologers could calculate based on the movement of the stars and planets. This is what the WatchTower seeks to deny.
