So you believe fir trees are attached to demons then? WOW Or is it if you just cut them down and put them in your house? I always thought that God owned all the trees! But maybe Watchtower central has demanded you believe otherwise.
curious aside on how fir trees were used in Biblical times.
"Hermon was famous for fir trees, which were used to built the Phoenician ships (
Eze. 27:5). See
De. 3:9, which identifies Senir with Hermon."

“The glory of Lebanon will come to you,
the juniper, the fir and the cypress together,
to adorn my sanctuary;
and I will glorify the place for my feet.
(Is. 60:13, NIV)
The Hebrew word (theashshur), which some versions of the Bible (including the NIV) translate as “fir tree”, is mentioned very few times in the Bible (Isaiah 41: 19; and 60:13), and it is generally for the purpose of drawing attention to the future glory of the temple in Jerusalem that would be built with the noble wood of the cypress, elm and fir tree.
The scarcity of references puzzled the translators and, at times the same term was translated as “cedar”, “poplar” and even “cypress” as it was thought that fir trees did not exist in Biblical lands.
