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.
If you have the time for an hour-long deep dive into the history, check out this video from a history youtuber I’m a big fan of:
Temporary Residents in this World | Jehovah’s Witnesses - Knowing Better
You can skip the first 2 minutes if you don’t care about the skit stuff.
Knowing Better is such a fantastic youtube channel. I can’t recall this video specifically but ALL of his videos are worth the hour long watch.
