Yep, it doesn't matter what 'worldly people' say because JW's use different words. They know what they mean when they say "Christian" but the worldly person doesn't know they are excluded.

A person is described as " spiritual " because they go in field service, raise their hands to comment at meetings, and give talks from the platform. Has nothing to do with being spiritual within

The Question:
"do jehovah's Witnesses believe that only Jehovah's Witnesses will survive Armagaeddon?"
" Jehovah's witnesses do not believe that they are the only ones to be saved. In the resurrection during the 1000 year reign of Christ blah blah blah"

Modest = Current WT Conscience.
Doesn't matter what everyone else thinks.
Or doesn't matter that other churches find this or that offensive. In other words - become MORE modest that JW.
