Would the world be a better place if everyone was JW? (page 3)

To answer your question, just take a look around at all the "Happy" people in the congregation.

That about says it all!

Some jw's are lovely people and the world would be a better place if the world was full of those ones.

However, a percentage of jw's are not at all nice , so someone would have to sort them out into nice and not nice (sheep and goats - LOL).

It would be quite good if you were a JW because it would mean no more getting up on a saturday morning knocking on doors

Such an ignorant comment. Why? Because if people followed the principles of most religions the world would be a better place. But they don't. A large percentage of JWs do not follow their principles, with many raised as JWs becoming murders, drug dealers and pedophiles. They may not be called JWs as they get disfellowshipped, but it does change the fact that there will always be some people that engage in practices that adversely affect others.

Ugh. If the world were filled with JWs, technology would regress back to the 16th century. They'd destroy all vestiges of technology that they consider "evil." In the end, they would become as corrupt as the power structures that they had replaced.

Or consider this: without Catholicism or governments to fight against, they'd have no reason to preach their anti-establishment and anti-religion message. This would effectively kill off the "hook" of becoming a dub: that your beliefs are special because you're a target of Satan. If everyone were a JW, the message would be impotent. Their strength comes from the fact that they make up a minority, and that they are surrounded by unbelievers on a daily basis.
