FYI The Jehovah's Witnesses have a scheduled reading of the bible every week and a discussion of the passages assigned at one of the meetings. They progress through the bible from front to back within a year. Then start again.

a shame their version is even worse than the usual ones... several deliberate falsehoods in the NWT they use, and any number of episodes are interpreted completely worng compared to what's written and the context it has to be taken in... I bet the Phelpses understand the bible, at least OT, better the the JW.

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Urk, when I think I swallowed that stuff like honey syrup as a teenager, I feel disgusted and ashamed.

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

I've got a copy of Mao's Little Red Book. It's got some interesting chapter headings, such as, "On the suppression of intellectuals" IIRC.
