Have any of you noticed, especially those that have never been witnesses that JW's seem taken back or even weary of you for some reason if you know their lingo? It has happened to me several times in conversations. Some were pleasent, others not so much, but either wat the witness I was talking to always reacted in utter shock and almost suspicion of me when I knew their terminology. I mad it very clear that I had never been a witness. I don't know if they didn't believe me and thought to themselves that I must be an "apostate" or what. One time I was haveing a debate with a witness who swore to me that they were the most loving and caring of all religions, and were the only ones who were honestly caring for the lost. Part of my answer was to ask him if he thought it particularly loving to refer to unsaved people as goats. He didn't like my comment of course, but he seemed very flustered and confused that I knew that. Other times it's been references such as the faithful and discreet slave, or something of that nature. A witness that works for my Father made some reference to being busy on a Saturday, and I said something like "going out on service" He smiled at first and asked me if I was a witness. I said no, but that I was just familiar. Again this confused frightened look. Has this ever happened to you? Or for those who used to be witnesses, do you remember having these feeling towards someone that was familiar with your jargon, but clearly not a witness?
