"You know Steve, all you need to do is to sit down with a brother and have a bible study." My mom when I was a young man going through a tough time.
"You know Steve, 1975 is just around the corner." Uh, mom again.
"Is he in the Truth?"
"Oh, he?s no longer in the Truth."
"I?m in the Truth."
"Oh, he?s weak."
"She?s a pioneer!"
"Oh that?s pagan!"
"1975 is a marked year in human history!" All JW?s pre-1975.
"I never believed 1975 was the End if this system of Things." Any JW who lived through it and is STILL a JW.
"I don?t have to read anything other than the Society?s publications to know the truth."
"Well, he must have committed some kind of immorality if he got disfellowshipped."
"Disassociating ourselves from those who have been disfellowshipped is an act of love!"
"Oh, I heard he went to Bethel!"
"She?s one of the Anointed, you know."
"I never want to displease Jehovah." Translation; I never want to displease the WBTS.
"Oh no, we don?t want to change your religion!" Lie presented at the door.
"You?ll get a deadly disease if you get a blood transfusion!"
"Well, actually Jesus wasn?t born in December." Probably accurate but almost always spoken in a condescending, I know it all tone.
"Science and history proves Jesus died on a stake." Uh, bullshit.
"Reading the Awake magazine for four years is the equivalent to getting a college education!" Mom, once again.
"(Born again) Christians get all emotional when they sing their songs."
"She?s too worldly minded to make a good wife." Mom again. This time in a way though, she was right. The girl was a slut. She banged my JW elder brother-in-law and destroyed my family in the process.
These are but a few that I recall hearing and experiencing JW?s say growing up amongst them.
