Really Min, how could they not be weird? These are people who believe that they are never going to grow old, will live in a paradise on earth, everyone will be destroyed but them, do not get involved with the community, politics, anything that would contribute to society. The people who are drawn to JWS were probably misfits to begin with. people who really belive the conspiracy stories, parasites, who want to live off the government but give nothing back to it. That is what JWS breed and attract.Of course not all JWS are like this, but the ones who aren't are the ones who don't really follow the rules , they stray a bit. Show me a JWs who is out doing community work and helping others(and not counting time) and i'll show u a JWS that will be talking to a JC soon.(or he is in trouble with the law )

Mysterious
When I was little there was a guy who never smiled that had an allergy bracelet, I always thought it was one half of broken off handcuffs. He always wore these totally out of style sweaters instead of a suit jacket, with slicked back hair. He gave me the creeps. I got yelled at for avoiding him and not being social.

Weirdest example of weird I can think of:
The hall was all a-buzz. We were being sent a couple of pioneers to help our cong. out. Boy were we excited. Two pioneers. Wow. Well, the day came for them to arrive. She was in her late 60s and he was about 25, maybe younger. He called her his "Grandma". She called him her "Grandson". He was very nerdy but he was a single pioneer brother afterall. A few weeks passed. Well, danged if it wasn't announced that BOTH of them were under public reproof. Oh no, well, there goes the pioneer help. Turns out they were not grandmother and grandson. He was just traveling around with her to serve where the need was greater. They made up the lie to avoid single sisters from bugging him for dates. When the brothers found out, they said, "Get married or move into separate homes or be dfd." They got married.
In Atlanta there was a brother who was an heir to the Coca~Cola fortune. He was elderly. When his wife died, the brothers told the young pioneer sister who had been their caretaker that she would have to move out of his house. She feared for his safety so she stayed & married him instead. It wasn't for the money either because, from what I hear, he was leaving it all to the society.
Weird enough for you, Mini?

Another browas like crazy glue. You couldnt get rid of him. Another bro had a fondness to body parts. If he grabed on to your finger or hand he would keep it. Nice bro though. I wonder if thats how serial criminals start.

U know that sounds so familar .. Back in the 60's in a Dallas burb cong. there was a woman in her 60's and a man in his 20's , both pioneers. They were married, much to the shock and horror of the cong. Well the bro fell in love with a young sis and the older wife was ill and the whole cong watched him wait out her death. It was such a sad site. They treated the older sis with such contempt. She was just discarded. he would not even sit with her at the meetings after he found his true love. Eventually she died and they married and moved away.. Weird.

In the town where I grew up, there was this old brother, must have been mid-60's or so. He was really weird. Always claimed to be ex-CIA or something. Said he had a blackbelt in like 20 different martial arts. I remember one of his fingernails was curled all up, so it looked like a claw. Kind of a wacky, scary sort of guy.
In the same hall was a 19-year-old sister. Very homely, kind of dull personality. Nice, I suppose, but she just seemed a bit vacant. Well, imagine our surprise when the two eloped one day. Got married at the Justice of the Peace. They were over 40 years apart. Ugh.
