one of the 'major' points JWs will come back at you with is that they alone are the only religion that teaches people shouldn't go to war.
Off the top of my head I know that many followers in the 'Church of Christ' movement have held to this view, does anybody have a list of religions that teach this to their members?
Sometimes just opening people up out of the Witness Bubble by presenting evidence that is conrtary to what they believe to be true is very helpful.

Quakers are well known for being pacifists, since way before the witlessness.

Drew, I think all the Bahais in the world are conscientious objectors.

Drew,
I'm still not sure if you're writing "contentious" objectors on purpose or not. It's really pretty funny, as a lot of Witnesses are far more contentious than conscientious!
At any rate, the Christadelphians can be added to the list.

The Army doesn't accept Shakers, they are very bad shots. And Quakers, well, that's pretty obvious.

On a similiar note, my sister was shocked when I explained to her that many other religions take part in preaching activities. She thought that only J-dubs went preaching.
