To be fair there are the JWitnesses who don’t do holidays, including one’s own birthday.

As a young man, I knew this "old" dude (40s or 50s I guess) that ran a crack house. He was a jehovahs witness, only one I have known personally. It was weird. Real nice dude other than being a crackhead...like, the world's most polite crack dealer.

I dated a woman who escaped the Religion, as they call it. It is a full on mind control cult. Interestingly, she also briefly sold those stupid expensive vacuums door to door. She reported that the managers use very similar and just as severe cult techniques to condition their missionaries.
donated to African American Heritage Center to do with what they wish.

25 million reasons to be thankful in Charlottesville, where there's accountability for hate
Every penny of the more than $25 million the jury awarded sends a much-needed signal in America: Racist and repulsive actions will be held to account.

I shit on cops a lot, and rightfully so. Park ranger cops fall way outside that and I bear them no ill will. Think their great, never had a bad run in.
Did see them bust some dudes trying to climb the red rocks that you can't climb on at red rocks, was alright with that. People tend to trash nature and it's already jam packed all the time so at risk.
Edit: just mention it as a park ranger got shot outside RMNP, will be alright.

I remember watching a program like 60 minutes that said pedophiles join because the church leaders look the other way and help cover up child molestation claims.
When I was in university I worked a summer job loading containers by hand. 2 guys in a container packing it to the roof and you spend a lot of time with your partner. Mine happened to be a JW and he was constantly trying to get me to attend a meeting. I never went but asked a lot of questions out of curiosity and it helped time pass by quicker. One day the conversation got to the belief that only 144,000 souls actually make it to heaven. I asked in a most sarcastic tone, “let me guess, you’re one of them, right?”
“Oh no!” He says. “I’m not one of them!” So I asked him why bother making all these sacrifices if you’re not going to heaven? It was like a light bulb went off and he replied, “yeah, you’re right!”
He never went back to the church (as far as I know) and we had a few booze filled nights after that. He was actually a charming guy and was a hell of a wingman on ladies night.
It took me about 2 months to convert him back to the dark side.

One of the reasons The Puritans came to America was to escape the influence of secularism. That they banned Xmass gets kudos from me.
Jesus rose from the dead so you could put a 2nd mortgage on your home buying gifts.
Go ahead bring up the Gospel around the family christmass dinner. That Thanksgiving meal will seem like a cake walk.
Note this was from Cracked magazine. A wanna be Mad magazine.

I think it’s an obscure line in the bible taken out of context.

I used to chase the JW's around the neighborhood arguing with them. Calling them "Russellites".
Their founder was Charles Taze Russell. They don't like that. Insisting there organization was founded by Judge Rutherford. Whatever.
Also would throw at them that "Jehovah" is a latin corruption of another name of G*d. That in the Latin, there is no "J". Piss them off.
That 144,000 thing has got to be a real thorn in there side. There's probably about 200,000 or more take the sacrifice around the world. Boy I kinda miss those days.
