When I was a faithful dub, the biggest, nagging doubt I had was the belief that a book... writing thousands, upon thousands of years ago....largely written in the middle east....was written with a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses in mind. It never ceased to amaze me the number of elders that told me that "the Bible was really written for the annointed...remember, everyone else just benefits from its non-heavenly related discussion..but only a god fearing, going to heaven annointed dub could truly understand it...in that special way."
The whole thing reminds me of that Carly Simon song, "You're so Vain", you'd have to be really vain....or Insane even... to think that a book that ancient was written with a couple of guys in Brooklyn in mind, a city that didn't even exist at the time the last book of the Bible was written. If some guy went around saying that Theodore Dreiser's "Sister Carrie" was written for them, they'd be written off as one insane mofo, but we're talking about the Bible here... the #1 selling book of all time. Isn't it odd that the dubs in general haven't stopped and said, well... maybe these guys really are crazy... even that's a less controversial way of approaching it than saying well, the governing body is a bunch of dishonest evildoers... I'm still open to the organization being run by the insane... of the some of the most vain people in our lifetimes.
