  Some people are just way too bitter and obsessed.

  Let's not be shallow and judgmental eh?
  

  I wasn't obsessed, I was surprised. It isn't about people spending money on things they like. Because if they got the money they can spend.

  I usually think of Witnesses as being as a whole, well Jehovah's Witnesses. Supposedly following the GB and the bible. I tried to when I was in. But I've thought about it and it reminds me of my father's grandma. Any conversations about the bible that my mother brought up, would invoke an immediate reaction of "I believe in Joseph Smith and the book of Mormon" from my grandma. You would think she was a staunch Mormon. But she was really a "jack" Mormon. Smoked and drank coffee and didn't go to church

  There isn't a term like that for JW's. But there are many I think that are Jack JW's.

  No, you are making a character judgement based on things you don't know.

  You don't know me either.

  I was out thrift shopping where my sister lives. Before I went in to the store, I went to donut shop a few doors down. As I walked up, there by the window was a family and others eating donuts. First impression was that they were witnesses. Shirt and tie for the men and the young boys, and long skirts on the ladies.

  So I got a donut and turned around to glance briefly at them. The father noticed and smiled - I could imagine the thought that they were giving a "witness" was running through his mind.

  Anyway I went to the thrift store and then came out and got in my car. By that time they had finished and came out. I thought they were heading for a white toyota car but instead the husband came around a nice new dark grey car with paper plates. With a flourish he pointed his key fob at the car. I thought Oh he's unlocking the doors. Instead, the two back doors lift straight up like bird wings. It had a symbol on the trunk. Turns out it's a Tesla.

  If it's an X model, it's over $100,000.

  Used to be Cadillacs, BMW's and Mercedes that would certainly raise eyebrows but a Tesla? Probably the brother can explain it away by saying "Well if the GB happen to come for a visit, I'm certain they would enjoy being taken around in my Tesla"

  Wow the mom has gotten prettier but Caleb's head is two times the size of his mom's.

  Isn't the use of "straps" as an illustration, a little suggestive? I'm a gardener so it's not a bad illo in itself. Just that the use of the word straps, reminds one of getting "the strap"

  have you ever been watching a show and suddenly, there's a reference to jehovah's witnesses?

  i was watching an english mystery show from a while back and the main character hetty, was giving a list of religions that could have drawn off a young girl.

  one of the "fringe" groups was tada - jehovah's witnesses.. there is plenty of other more well known clips like snl coneheads being approached by fake jw's.

  It's a difficult thing especially with family members. i have to pretend not to notice my mom's tendency to be brusque at the beginning of a visit because she would so love to be "righteous". Since I don't react to her negatively she can only go along with the "niceness". Outright shunning hasn't happened but if it does, all I will do is shrug since she's the loser.

  Yeah, he wants to be able to show love to one of his own. Otherwise it's a polite but superficial smile.
