    This is a little out of date.

    I found it earlier deleting some emails from a good few years ago:

    Feel free to add new lines to this old list!

    You might be a JW if you...

    You are puzzled when someone talks about a recent teaching as "new light" because you no longer remember the organization ever teaching anything else.

    If you feel conflicted watching Breaking Amish…

    you might be a JW.

    If you can’t remember what day of the week it is without some kind of benchmark…

    …you might be a JW.

    If little blue garden gnomes make you nervous…

    …you might be a JW.

    You might be a JW if when you pray to God you begin your prayer with..."Yo J"!

    You might be a JW if you mistakenly go to Proverbs 4:18 (new light) whenever you error in how a Bible verse was interpreted or doctrine was taught.

    You might be a JW if you frequently wake at night sweating,, heart-racing and traumatized by an Armageddon nightmare.

    You might be a JW if your conversations with strangers are scripted, and if any deviation from the script requires you to do "research".

    You might be a JW if you think that "research" means searching magazine archives to find out what you're supposed to believe.

    You might be a JW if you think that a 75 year old should be shunned by the religion he resigned from at the age of 18 because he found out things he didn't know about the religion when he got baptized at 10.

    You might be a JW if you were taught that there is nothing more important than the door to door work, and then meekly capitulated to the GB's acceptance of government mandates preventing the door to door work.

    Wow, these are all so true. Some are funny but others are just plain sad. Like the last example Jo-fi_wofo posted above about the 75 year old still shunned!

    I thought of a few:

    If you think that your non-Witness relatives or anybody who leaves the religion must be in a miserable/sinful state (meanwhile they are happy and successful) - you might just be a JW.

    If you pioneer for decades and look down on/avoid people in the hall with careers as ‘unspiritual’ and still imagine these people should owe you $omething - you might just be a very deluded JW.

    If you're a man past his 50s who is obsessed with what teenage girls are wearing, you might be a JW.
