I saw this, and it made me think of drahcir yarrum's post about ex-JWs and morality
Choose your religion based on personal beliefs. Answer a bunch of questions and rate the importance of each in the religion you want.
JWs were listed as an 80% match for me; ironically enough, Islam and Orthodox Judaism ranked at 100%. I find this very intriguing.

I am the master of my fate/I am the captain of my soul.
Jehovahs witness beleifs are similair to orthodox judaism more than to mainstream christianity, so it makes sense.
Thanks, Reagan! I know I've done this before...
Funny I got the JWs at the very bottom!

I suspect the alleged 7% is the "social betterment", and I know very well JWs only assert that is a priority in any sense.

Of course, I was tripping when I filled it out so who really knows.
JanH,
I didn't read through the whole list, but my first 5 were identical to yours. I am not surprised.
Good grief..... apparently I am supposed to be an Orthodox Quaker....
... so thats where I've been going wrong all these years......!!!
(... even more interesting is the fact that JW appeared at the bottom of my list... obviously telling me something there!)
