I got a kick out of your clever analogies...
First of all, there is no proof that the Bible is infallible, except of course in the Bible itself. The so-called "fact" of the "infallible Bible" is due only to circular reasoning. (i.e. "The Bible is the literal, infallible Word of God because the Bible itself says so.")
The Society doesn't do a good job of keeping in accordance with this imperfect book, either. For example, where in the Bible (except for those vague references in the OT) does it say that sex between married couples or otherwise has to be strictly missionary-style?
Where in the Bible does it say that you must keep a quota of the hours spent in door-to-door proselytizing?
What evidence exists that the first Christians were JW's? Do you have any secular references to prove it?
Why would the so-called "One True Religion�" disappear from the earth and fade into nonexistance for 1800 years, when Jesus specifically said that not even the gates of hell (Sheol) would prevail against his Church? (cf. Matthew 16:18)
I could go on, and on, and on...
And by the way, I certainly hope this post of yours was a joke.
