As a child, I was touched by a brain eating zombie memeplex.
I was ignorant of religion as such until a friend of mine invited me to a Watchtower Society children's meeting. I was probably 10 years old or so. It was staffed by adults but was more of a club for children. I remember very little about it: getting tracts and some sort of points system with rewards for memorizing something (the tracts maybe?)
My reaction, as I remember it, was confusion about the actions of the adults because they somehow knew a whole bunch of stuff that didn't make a lot of sense to me or match my observations of my surroundings.
At the time I had no concept of indoctrination. The one time exposure didn't take. I lumped it in a 'pending confirmation' bin. Before I could confirm or deny the veracity of the data, I moved on to more important topics, like kickball.
I thought it was weird and never went back.

So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
