My mother says: "All Jehovah's people are beautiful".
But then she likes to point out how fat this one is or how sloppy that one dresses.

Witless. They are only faking happiness, and want to promote that illusion to those in the world so that people will come in thinking they have no problems. Then they find out that they have worse problems, many created by the religion itself.
They are also the most represses people on earth. No sex without marriage, which they make as difficult as possible for people to arrange. No holiday lights to enjoy. No gifts. No time off of field circus to do something enjoyable. No music or TV. No enjoying nature. It's always field circus.

Well Min if we are to go by your example based on what the WTS says of them:
Jws are:
- clean
- united
- loyal
- honest,
- God-fearing
- obedient
- preachers of the good news
- no part of this world
- lovers of what is right
But if we take a look at many of the things seen on this board
many (but not all) JWs are:
- depressed
- sick - physically mentally and spiritually
- pedophiles or protectors of pedophiles
- dishonest
- fearful of the organization/elders
- dispondant about preaching
- live double lives to keep their family contacts

Enjoying freedom
What a scarily accurate list Lady Lee!

What I notice is that in secret, or among trusted company, they'll do what they can to have a little fun. One brother invited another older prankster to his house to get sauced up with tequila and go shoot BB guns! Sounds like what a normal dude might want to do...
I think dubs are masters at hiding who they are. They have to--they are constantly trying to live semi-normal lives without getting caught or getting ratted on. And bear in mind, that was not meant as an insult. I grew up trained in how to hide things from others.
I had to. I'm trying to live a semi-normal life.

Sleep walkers.
They can't enjoy living, they can't enjoy life - they can't be amongst the beauty of the world surrounding them thus they can never appreciate all that it has to offer them. They are asleep - only barely alive - living lives in shades of gray without the passionate bursts of colour and joy that weave magic and hope to the rest of us. sammieswife.

Who says they are the happiest people on earth ? Perhaps they do, but remember part of your question asked, what else are they ? The most decieved people on earth ! They are like mindless drones and deer staring into the headlights

Most are miserable because they have to keep proving to themselves and othersthat they are happy and love what they are doing.
