Daughter (15) recently told my wife and I that she has a huge crush on this boy (17) from school who’s hanging out with her friend group a lot these days. She said he can’t date because he’s a Jehovah’s Witness. All wife & I knew before is that they’re some Christian group. From what we read online they seem to be pretty radical & abstract stuff like 144000 (?), Armageddon. They even get called a cult.

    Most of what you list isn’t crazy if you know the texts. For example The 144000 men chosen to fight the Beast’s armies in Armageddon are the basis of the chosen/elect/elite which appears in other denominational theologies.

    edit: Christianity is an apocalyptic faith if you already accept that your God died to forgive original sin is a end times battle that crazy?

        If you accept an apocalyptic faith like Christianity are the details of the end times battle that crazy?

        It’s the end game for that faith? Im not Christian but if you already accept the apocalyptic faith that Christianity is this isn’t crazy within that context

          Idk, even when I was a Christian I thought the Joho’s were cray cray.
