    Well, JWs are historically pretty weird.

    i think the same way as "we"

    as in--"as a JW , do you believe in ****"

    reply "--no--WE believe *****"

    it sounds defensive--exclusive..

    Ex JWS tend to be Polymaths

    JWs as well but they are taught to suppress and keep their studies to

    the Borg Pubs

    Rather sad

    :0)

    Do you have the same reaction to the word "singularities," Schnell?

    No, mostly because, going beyond the questionable grammar, the use of "ones" is part of JW-speak, that distinct manner and style that wishes to be hypnotic. I've had enough "ones" and "is it not"s and find it mostly abhorrent.

    I think it's part of JW speech code for loyalists to ID each other (notice I didn't say "ID one another"? :smirk:)
