Balaamsass, your right! they are kind of like the National Enquirer back in the day. Or are they still around? (a newspaper/rag in US that you might find near the checkout line in the grocery store; who's having sex with who, who is breaking up this week, who is having an alien baby, etc...)

Worked for me yesterday. This was up on reddit too so maybe lots of people trying to get the podcast/book affected that page for now? (I have not started to listen to it yet, read the book years ago.)

As an outsider that is the main reason I never let my kids step foot in a kh! Their obsession with sex and all the other inappropriate topics in front of children made me sick. AND NO, Christian churches do not have these discussions around children. The elders, MS, whoever... should be arrested for exposing children to sexually explicit material and possibly grooming.

"A Jehovah's Witness"
by NotFormer ina very certain distinctive of jws is how they refer to themselves.
"one of jehovah's witnesses".
it's one of those coded jargon thingies.

I also remember when my jw first joined up he said it was disrespectful to say 'jw' instead of the full 'jehovah witness' so naturally I called them dubs.

Most people I know (all non jw's) say, "a jehovah witness", " a big jw" , "a big jehovah", "jehovah Bob, Tom, Suzy (persons name) ", "the jehovahs" or "a jehovah".
I never correct any of them

I think they are famous for saying, "sorry you feel that way", at least in person. It is a non apology apology.

Sincerity
by Sea Breeze inchristians ask jw's, is sincerity enough to save a person from the murderous reign of the anti-christ during the great tribulation?.
all kidding aside; why do jw's seem to always point out their sincerity when their lies are exposed?
they seem awfully proud of their sincereity.

I can't think of a good example without giving myself away but my jw would often say it is all about 'motive' and being 'sincere'. They/he might have lied but their motive was good, they might have been false prophets err, said a wrong date but their motive was good and so on. They were sincere, the gb told them.... I have told him time and again that he must make sure of all things, it won't matter a hill of beans if in the end you say, "well, someone told me to believe and do this". You are responsible for yourself. (if you believe in an afterlife that is, if not, carry on, it doesn't matter then what you believe or do)
Diogenesister has it exactly right!
