    They are Witnesses. They talk to df'd people. They love God. They are most kind to their neighbors. They go out of their way to help people---any people, not just JWs. They drink a little too much alcohol at times. They love to socialize. They sometimes miss meetings for work related reasons. They go on 3 or 4 week vacations and don't attend the meetings.

    They are about as "normal" as anyone I know----except their Witnesses!

    Money buys a lot of forgiveness in Watchtower World..

    I know JWs like that as well...though I wouldn't call em "good Christians". They're good people.

    The down side to those dubs who compartmentalize things is that they never come to the realization that their belief system is either in error or correct. They've learned to deal with it in their own way, accepting what they want, ignore the rest and go on about their deluded lives.

    I see it in several JWs I know. I'm happy that they've managed to survive in the cult, but sad that they're still owned by the WTS.

    These people believe "in the Truth". They "pretty much" accept things as being accurate BUT they're not extremists. They cite Jesus' love as their main belief.

    These people aren't "rich". They do alright. They were viewed, in the 70s as being more "weak" than "mature'' but due to their longevity, they are considered pretty solid.

    They accept that Man was created 6000+ years ago

    They accept the fairy tales of talking snakes and arks and parting of seas

    They accept that Jesus returned invisibly in 1914

    They accept that the WTS is God's organization

    They accept that the end is near

    They may not be exteremists but they are still deluded and ignorant

    But...in the end, it's okay...there are millions of other deluded people out there, just different flavors...

    It is the extremists you do have to worry about.

    A lot of wealthier JWs are looked down on because they continue using their "unrighteous riches".
