The New Songbook, Joe Biden and 49% Less Jesus !
by metatron injesus is treated as a redundant, almost minor character in watchtower- land.
he sat around heaven with nothing to do for almost 2000 years until "the truth" was re-discovered by an american haberdasher.
he never seems to get any personal mention/appreciation even in life stories by the supposed "anointed" as published by the society (in contrast to the apostle paul and other early christians).
