Eels – Jehovah's Witness

• 0
  General Comment:I do not imply Jehovah's Witnesses have a hidden agenda, so much as trying to share my mental image, from this song, of anyone who approaches with a smile, and a book (or a pamphlet) trying to (albeit gently) persuade a total stranger to believe as they do.
  
  Not sensing a smile of true friendship, not an open hand in acceptance of what one is, but trying to close the deal for one's salvation. It might feel like a sales job.

  General Comment:I don't think that it would be socialy acceptable if there were a song badmouthing jews, or mormons, or any other religion. So why is it ok for the eels to say these things about Jehovahs Witnesses?

  General Comment:I think this song should resonate with anyone who's been approached by another under false pretense. With claims that they care (about you, your soul, your well-being) but really have a hidden agenda.
