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.

    One of the many cults that formed after the Great Disappointment that then managed to get promoted to sect at some point. Others include Mormanism, Branch Davidians, and Seventh-day Adventists. All made of of people still pissed 180 years later that the world didn’t end in 1844.
