It's weird for everything positive trait I can think of a negative one to cancel it out
For every negative I can find a positive.
And my conclusion is.
It depends on if the JW is dealing within the organization or outside the organization.
As and entity:
I find them to be
obedient
fearful
kind
ruthless
fanatical
focused
determined

You put it all together, and heck, they sound a lot like the people here! Good and Bad. It ain't the people, people.

I have five Jehovah's Witnesses historical periods in my life. My experiences with Jehovah's Witness people in the context of those five time periods are all different. In fact, radically different.
My five Jehovah's Witness historical periods are:- 1. Childhood; Age 7 - 12
- 2. Adolescence; 13 - 20
- 3. Early adult; 21 - 30
- 4. The lost years; 30 - 47
- 5. The confrontation and recovery; 47 - present
- The childhood years were terrible. The Witness people led by my parents were exploitive and abusive.
- Adolescence was my best Witness period. I was visibly compliant but not religious. During this time I benefited socially from being associated with the Witness group. I was welcomed in many kind Witness homes. I have many good memories of this period.
- The early adult years contained a series of disconfirmations. During this time the Witness people showed me a side I had not noticed before. They were dishonest, rude, controlling, manipulative, and mean.
- From about age 30 till 47 I was a (subconsciously believing) walkaway. Innuendoes delivered by pious Witness acquaintances and relatives didn't go over well. I was on a collision course.
- The confrontation period lasted from 1992 when the Witness people started to actively shun and snub me into 1996 when I took my experiences to the front page of the local daily newspaper and the television news magazine show.
After I went public with my story, I was threatened by Witnesses over the telephone and in a short time the Witness people confirmed every suspicion I had about their bad character. The mistake they made with me, is they left me with nothing to lose to them.

My experience has been that Dubs are decidedly lacking in character.
Cookie-cutter cultists, one and all.
