OK we know it's a stupid mind control cult but sometimes to see it in the flesh is just a slap in the face...
I lent my brother Karen Armstrongs The Bible - The Biography, which is a great book to help understand the bible, I have read it twice and it was very informative. I had hoped my brother may find it likewise and actually learn something.
Not a frickin chance.
He gave the book back today with an agitated tone and told me it was crap and that he didnt want me to show him any other books, he had got to page 21, so had only managed the introduction and 12 pages of chapter 1 of a book with 229 pages (300+ if you include glossary and appendix).
Inside were some postit noted with notations he'd written about dates quoting from Insight volumes and Scripture Inspired to "correct" the dates in the book for events and dates of reigns like Manassahs and Hezekiahs.
Basically he got mad that the book disagreed with what his drone cult brain read in the WTS volumes and refused to read any further.
FFS he didnt even look at another outside source at all, just assumed the book was making error after error on dates and got annoyed.
I am shocked he could be just that dumb.
I got annoyed with him and told that if he was brainwashed enough to think that looking in the Insight volumes counted as REAL research then good for him (English sarcasm meaning the exact opposite of that point of course).
I will leave it for a good while and then tell him he was a dumbass and to verify it elsewhere.
