Daughter (15) recently told my wife and I that she has a huge crush on this boy (17) from school who’s hanging out with her friend group a lot these days. She said he can’t date because he’s a Jehovah’s Witness. All wife & I knew before is that they’re some Christian group. From what we read online they seem to be pretty radical & abstract stuff like 144000 (?), Armageddon. They even get called a cult.

    Like mormons they shun the outside world and those who leave their group. Their street missionaries are meant to show their members how outside people are bad not convert people. Best to be nice to them to show them it’s a lie.
