regarding worldly associations:
"The worst JW in the org. is better than the best person in the world.."
Do you remember this saying...?

I haven't heard that exactly word for word but i've sure heard the concept alot.
Too, you can see that just by messed up JW logic on associations, that NO ONE is good enough for you to be around unless they're JW.

hahaha, awesome! loved that one ninja. As for the JW saying? I thought they looked at the worst JW with contempt and disdain, never inviting the ''weak'' one to social gatherings, since there were not deemed good association... This bothered me alot about the religion, so many good non-JW people, yet they were all considered bad association...stupidity.

One time at a circuit assembly, I heard this said on stage (either by the circuit or district oversser):
"People may object to the idea of Armageddon, saying there's so many nice, good-looking people in this world. Well when Armageddon comes, there'll be a heap of good looking bones."
The audience laughed nervously.

The main situation where they used this was when you wanted to hang or associate with someone not a dub. You would use the reasoning 'their just as good as the witnesses' Than the parent or elder would come back with this phrase to shoot down that thought. Control at its best. They are masters at pre-emptive strikes.
