Do jw have their own culture?
They have a unique name for every thing. It isn't a church, it's a Kindom Hall. It isn't a hymnal, it's a song book. It isn't a parishioner, it's a publisher. Yes, beyond any doubt, they have their own culture.

A rather boring and mind-numbing culture that squashes any and all free self-expression.

let me see yep I when words like Hall, Truth, Study and Worldly take on diffrient sinister meanings in your mind when some one casualy says them. Yeah it's a subculture atleast.

Yes, they have their own language, rules, traditions and so on. A culture of their own, a world of their own. Why?

#1:Jehovah`s Witness`s consider themselves to be a unique group of people on the planet....
Maybe the most unique on the moon as they are certainly "wired to the moon"
.#2:In most case`s,you can identify a Jehovah`s Witness.("A Dub knows a Dub").....
Anywhere almost any time. I really mean anywhere, I have lived on 3 different continents and I can spot them so easily, that and the automatic cold chill that I get. Their clothes give them away the most, especially in foreign countries. Also they way the dress their children in small ugly suits somehow makes my heart ache.

I think the "Sunday" JWS the richer ones are a little more difficult to spot culture wise, but get to their house and although they don't have their meeting books on display they will have the insight book used as a bookend for 20 years worth of national geographic or readers digest.
Women give it away a bit easier with their frilly frumpy dresses that they wear pretty much all the time. -

Culture (from the Latincultura stemming from colere, meaning "to cultivate" [citation needed] ), generally refers to patterns of human activity and the symbolic structures that give such activity significance. Different definitions of "culture" reflect different theoretical bases for understanding, or criteria for evaluating, human activity. Most general, the term culture denotes whole product of an individual, group or society of intelligent beings. It includes technology, art, science, as well as moral systems and the characteristic behaviours and habits of the selected intelligent entities. In particular, it has specific more detailed meanings in different domains of human activities.
Yes, I would say so.

My experience was bad, bad, bad! I never had a wholesome feeling! I always felt I was chasing a carrot! Never fully accepted as part of their group! Felt very odd - like tryng to compete swimming freestyle when I love playing football! I really could never do it and shouldn't have!
Culture wise I think those who have a few generations 'in it' look out for each other far more than they do new JW's. I've seen it!
For newcomers it's a zeroculture!
A culture in the next life that you may never get to!
Living a void!
That's how it felt/feels which is sooooooooooo saaaaaaaaad!
They had our hearts!
