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 the Mormons a large part of that is making members believe outsiders hate them for their religion…
When really I just hate any random person who knocks on my door.
It’s less to gain members, and more a way to prevent people from leaving.
That’s how cults grow their numbers.
