How do JWs major in minors?
By the way, JWs aren't the only ones.

How about:
You can lose your family if you, like the angels, the shepherds and the wise men, celebrate Jesus' birthday.

We have a group of single ones in our hall ranging the age of 9 to 50. It is kind of creepy how they all hang out together. One of them has some serious mental health issues and is 48 and never worked a day in his life.
Lately this 24 year male who is a real social climber has been hanging with this 15 year old girl who is turning into a real pretty thing. Her parents think he is great because he is going to be an elder by 30 ( by default ).

RILEY:
I consider the OP a little vague.
But, regarding your post it is really sad that those singles have only other Jehovah’s Witness to hang out with! In the real world this group would not be thrown together.
It is very unhealthy and stifling that JWs don’t bother with any other groups. (Is this majoring in a minor thing?) As someone not raised in the JWs I thought they were peculiar.
And a 9 year old is a child and should be with children in a similar age range. The most disturbing thing in your post is the 48 year old who never worked a day in his life. Not as uncommon as you might think in the JW religion - ‘mental issues’ or not. You don’t mention if this person is supported by their family. I would assume so.
All in all it’s an unhealthy situation.

What about all the stuff that they avoid, for their presumably pagan origins, but they happily use the pagan days of weekdays, like Thursday and Saturday, or calendar month names like January?

This is where cognitive dissonance comes into play.
Getting 'em thinking about things. Too much. Confuses them.
Easier to manipulate. Malleable minds. Vulnerable.
