    Shortly-after-Birth to almost 1973. Twenty-four precious years spent learning worthless crap, spending 3 worthless years pioneering and selling Watchtower books that were out of date doctrinewise before they were out-of-print.

    I used to laugh that we had to buy and sell Watchtower books that were promoting "old" (bullshit) "light" with "new" (new bullshit) "light."

    We had to study that masterpiece of insanity "Babylon the Grape Has Fallen! God's Kingdom Rules!" three different times when I was a dub. Nobody understood a single page of that book and neither did Fred Franz, who also wrote it. I remember being a Book Study conductor while we were slogging through that book and after about 4 pages of that crap during the one hour we had to "study" and after doing my best to help people to understand the non-understandable I would ask the brothers and sisters what they thought of the "study." They almost always said: "I learned some very good 'points,' but it is just so "spiritually deep." Even then I knew in my heart-of-hearts what they were really saying was "I don't understand anything I wasted my hour trying to study, therefore I'm stupid, but I can't let everyone else know how stupid I am." Fact is, they weren't stupid at all: shit is shit, and anyone who tries to make sense out of that is not stupid at all. Shit is always shit, and one should never feel guilty for trying to make shit into anything other than shit. Let alone "spiritually deep."

    "Spiritually Deep" = incomprehensible bullshit. That's a fact.
