    OK! I know I am new to the board and still learning about JW's but I feel silly not knowing what DUB means. Please anyone.

    J Dub = Jehovah's Witness

    The first letter in the word "witness" is a "w". Say that letter, "double u" .

    Now shorten that to "dub". Now shorten the word "Jehovah" to "J". Put them together which = J Dub.

    Do you understand now?

    Hi Inlove,

    Great picture of the little one by the way. to add to what DM said, think of DUB as short for "W" in JW

    Thanks to all of you. I know my husband is really DUB. I think of it as kind of a sickness. Does anyone have a DUB pill . What else can you do when it is so silly.

    Hi inlove, and welcome

    I think DUB could also stand for Distributors of Unsubstansiated Bullshit.

    It works for me anyway

    welcome to the board! Like my name says I love dubs :) I dont have a choice really. You can pick your nose, you can pick your seat, but you cant pick your inlaws...half of mine are JDubs and the other half used to be or never were and nobody speaks to anybody else. If my family had a reunion it would be like a visit to the library :)

    JDubness is indeed a form of insanity!
