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.

    This response coming from a Christian, let me try to answer this in a bullet point list:

    • they’re strict;
    • they don’t celebrate birthdays, or don’t do anything they believe it’s associated with paganism;
    • they’re strict;
    • they knock on people’s doors with a strict dress code to make more people join in;
    • they’re also around the world, as missionaries;
    • have I mentioned they’re strict?

    thanks for coming to my TED Talk. Don’t take what I said as fact and do your own research.
