Jehovah's Witnesses and a talking snake

**Jehovahs Witness Yearbook, 1967 p.105: Cameroon **

“On one occasion a large crowd was following a man who had a talking serpent. The serpent gave greetings and spoke in foreign tongues…a brother was passing by, attracted by the commotion, he went to the house to see what was happening. As soon as he entered the room the serpent stopped talking. The man cried out: “A magician has entered this room! He better leave or I will bring Evil upon him!” The brother asked the man: “Is that a serpent or a demon that has spoken?..I am one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and I know since God has created animals not one serpent has spoken, with the exception of the garden of Eden…what you hear speaking is a Demon not a serpent.” Offended and seeing that the serpent remained silent the man left the building…later the brother met the man and he was eager to get some publications…”

:rolleyes::rolleyes:

So I guess Adam and Eve, who actually walked with God and had never sinned to begin with (if I understand the theology correctly), weren’t good enough to stop a snake from talking, but this Jehovah’s Witness, who had to be delivered from sin, was?

They believe this sort of thing actually happens. Really. A talking serpent and and third world villagers eagerly asking for Watchtower publications.
