A long while back, 1969-75, I "studied" with the frenzied cult of Jehovah's Witnesses. Looking back I'm fucking embarrassed about the whole thing. There was 2 anxious reasons for it that had significant influence excluding my religious family environment.
The 1st anxious reason was the overwhelming abundance of hot good looking "witness" girls who, for some reason, dressed as slutty as they could, fuck, I can't think of one set of legs that wasn't appealing...and they wanted boyfriends ASAP. Second anxious reason, the Hall Elder is a former cop appointed Crown Prosecutor, he was also my neighbor and fishing buddy of my father...he also informed me that I'm going to be a cop. He hands me a yellow paper and tells me to sign it. No interviews and review committee, no character reference etc, just show up at the department on the date and prepare for 6weeks training in Aylmer Ontario. That's how close I was to becoming a cop...I pulled out at the last moment, long story short, I was to begin undercover in Hamilton. I just wanted a regular officer job that demanded only driving around processing detainees.
There was eventually the time when I started asking questions, things were getting complicated. I like to figure things out or learn how to figure them out..."God works in mysterious ways" wasn't cutting it anymore. There was no logic in the "GREATEST STORY EVER SOLD" anymore. So I walked.
BUT....I would like this one explained, it's from the King James Version
Kings 1:1
36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, "AMEN": the Lord God of my lord the king say so too.
The "LORD GOD OF MY LORD"
The way I read it is that Benaiah's LORD, has a LORD GOD over him.
A direct, logical explanation without nuance or delusion would be great.
Words can be contorted. Take person, for example, which can be contorted from a reference to a member of the public to a reference to someone of diminished legal status. Capitalisation matter here, too.
