Socially Agressive Nerd

Today I encountered somebody even more Jehovah-lonely than I. Søren and I are taking a two day course on multi-core threading and the instructor is this short, round, guy from seattle. Really nerdy, really knowledgeable, and extremely sure of himself. The funniest thing was that when he started the lecture one of the first things he made clear was that he had nobody to eat lunch or dinner with and that he would need people for both. Lunch was easy, I saw him eating in the cafeteria with a lot of people, but when the course ended today he had to repeatedly petition us for a ride to his hotel, a ride to work, company for dinner, etc. Most people want to go home to their families I think. With everybody avoiding his requests, I took pity on the Jehovah lonelier and volunteered for Tuesday. Tsvi is waiting, I will away!

This is the first I've heard of this phrase "Jehovah-lonely".
What's the origin of it?
