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.
Same experience here. A former co-worker and good friend was raised JW, and was practicing for all the time I worked with him.
We used to have long conversations about it, as I was raised CofE, so was fascinated by some of the more extreme takes.
Anyway, he now only refers to them as “the cult” and has absolutely nothing good to say about them.
