I came from a JW family, and you can ask me or many other hundreds of thousands, if you have been on the inside, it is a cult.
I’m glad you made it out.
We had a dog that would give a “woof” when anyone came to the door - friends, mailmen, fedex, strangers, etc. Just to let us know someone was there.
One day she was barking her head off and clawing at the door - she NEVER did that. I saw some people coming up the drive and the dog got crazier. I couldn’t believe they rang the doorbell with the dog going nuts and me holding it back so it wouldn’t wreck the door.
Through the door I asked who it was?
“Do you know the real name of God?”
“Oh - yeah - Jehovah! We’re good, thank you. Good bye!”
The dog never acted like that again. Although I did invite a Mormon friend over to see what might happen! (Nope - nothing.)
