I'm not sure anyone is walking around saying, "the devil made me do it," and having his or her priesthood leader say, "well, in that case, it's okay..."

That's my point exactly. I think the focus should be on us, our mistake, and the repentence process (via the atonement) needed to fix the temporary lack of discipline.

I can agree with that...but I think the point of the lesson in the SWK manual was simply to not allow those things to enter your life at all...via Satan or some other method...

I just wonder if Satan still thinks he can win...
