I have a woman in my building who is a JW for 30 or more years.
I only know her casually, not a friendly type at all,
cold and distant until she thinks you might be a potential
'study' I told her one day I knew all about JW's.
Peaked her interest. She asked how and
I said I lived with a JW (true) did not tell her I was
also and ex - pioneer. Witheld that info.
Then I asked her about several dubious doctrines
and dates that went wrong, she got all upset,
and then I asked her about Education ,
she got all excited and denied emphatically,
that the WT ever discourages college education.
She just lied. Which is typical of JW's.
Deception is a learned skill in the "organization"
I didn't reveal my full past to her, because to do so
would have blocked any further communication.
Was that deception ? probably so. Still, it is the tactic
of the JW to lure people in by talking about peace on earth
and denying any false teaching that their victims become aware of.
