Subject: Crush the worms
Good morning, Strumpet,
I enjoyed your latest TikTok reel. We cannot create our own TikToks as Our Father Below is concerned that our cagefuls of residents might derive some pleasure from them. I have petitioned that is precisely why we should create them – it provides a momentary pleasure that then crashes them back to the depths of despair. A little of the playground, "Look what I’ve got, and you can’t have it,” taunting can never go awry.
Oh, some good news. Our Father Below got all the + channels installed in our breakrooms. We have Discovery+, Apple TV+, HBO, and so on. It’s brilliant! The only issue is some demons (mentioning no names, but honestly, Mephistopheles, I’m looking at you) are loath to return to their tormenting duties as they’re caught up in “The Terminal List” or laughing their heads off at how wrong the History Channel gets world events.
As an earthly tormenter, I can see why you have used this tool so effectively! Bravo! I met with Our Father Below and reported on your excellent work, especially since your most recent charge made it down here, babbling about disasters, recession, COVID (boy, that was a winner), war (Russia is amazing, they played right into our hands), supply chain issues (no idea what that is, but your human seemed fixated, seemed he could not get a lot of items sent to him?), and climate change. Seeing I don’t get earth-side that often, I have only a hazy idea what he was rambling about, but it appears that lockdown was a demon-send for you. You whispered in his ear that nothing was safe and never would be again.
I remember when you emailed me that you had successfully prevented him from returning to the physical church building. I don’t understand why the Enemy Above expects his beasts to go to a building and do what they could do in the privacy of their homes, but boy, we have a pretty cageful of ‘I don’t need church’ creatures screaming out for ‘God’ right now.
We have stirred up things on earth and created many distractions and diversions, and it complements the work you and the other tempters do. The Enemy Above created these creatures to worship him. We are unsure how it happens, but they're harder to attack when they sing those ridiculous songs and read his heinous words. They become almost impervious to our temptations, especially those who read his stupid book daily. Have you noticed that they’re the ones who remain enemy-awful happy, despite everything we throw at them?
It’s been like this forever. Solomon (remember him? Good-looking lad, had a problem with the ladies) wrote all those pithy and inane Proverbs. Something as simple as being cheerful keeps us at bay. It’s harder to break down a cheerful creature than a miserable one. Our best customers are those distracted by every new bauble we send. Loadshedding? Check. Riots. Check. Possible war with China? Check. Financial institutions collapse. Check. Earthquake. Check.
The more we send, and the faster we send them, the easier it is to inundate these pitiful homo-sapiens and crush them. Sometimes physically (earthquakes, mudslides, tsunamis, and volcano eruptions are perfect vehicles), mainly in what The Enemy calls their spirits. From the outside, things look normal, although weigh them down enough with the ‘cares of this world,’ and their outward appearance begins to match their inner spirit; but we know that inwardly they are slowly being crushed. It reminds me of a car being compressed at a junkyard. At first, nothing seems to be happening, then gradually, the metal framework collapses in on itself, and you’re left with a metal cube.
You’re on the right track with your current charge. Whenever I check on your progress, I see she has fewer friends, constantly complains, and hates her boss, job, and country. Have you noticed how no one wants to interact with her? It’s perfect. Now we need to get her entirely focused on ‘world events’ and away from the Bible app on her phone. We’ve even got the Weather Channel on our side these days.
So, to recap, distract, distract, distract with all the worst things we do on earth. Crush her like the worm she is.
Keep up the excellent work!
Love
Auntie Diabolica
