Here are the dominant characteristics of the Witlesses:
They are closed minded. They are not open to the idea that something might be wrong with the organization. They won't even tolerate the idea that 99.9% of what they teach is right but 0.1% could be in error (this would be an excellent track record if any organization was 99.9% correct). But they think it has to be 100% their way, even when they keep changing things.
They are stagnant. All they talk about is what happens in field circus and at the boasting session. Wasn't that such a great talk? They also talk about how they got a $10 donation for a crapt so they can put it in the Worldwide Pedophile Defense Fund.
They are critical of each other. Independent opinions on neutral topics are usually met with harsh criticism. They will not tolerate the idea that someone else likes rap music. And, if anyone deviates from the Society in ways that do not matter, they are subject to hounding.
They seek to rat each other out. Make a mistake, and they will tell the hounders about it. If one of them sees you with a member of the opposite sex in a non-compromising situation (like at the mall in the middle of the day in busy conditions), you are in for a hounding. They will hound you if you are walking in a record store with a copy of Jay-Z's CD. As if that was the end of the world because you listen to Jay-Z. From there, it will find its way back to Brother Hounder, who will chew you out because you are listening to "inappropriate music".
They think people should be judged based on theocraptic standards. Pioneers are supposed to be desired; they are, as a group, the most snotty people I have ever dealt with. Men are supposed to be hounders and hounder-hounders in order to have any prominence.
This is the average Witless. By comparison, the worldly people they deride tend to be more varied, and much less apt to impose their own tastes on everyone. The average worldly person is likely to be misled to a degree by our leaders, and their opinions have been shaped by the lies that politicians are good at telling in order to get re-elected. But, they are more likely to entertain other ideas and the thought that they might be wrong, at least in some part. Worldly people might disagree, but someone that hates rap is not going to rat you out because you are buying 50 Cent's CDs. (Many of them might have Marilyn Manson's CDs).
I think the average Witless is not superior to the average worldly person. If anything, the average worldly person is superior. If the world were to be free of all mysticism tomorrow, the Witlesses would suddenly be up Sxxx Creek without a paddle. They would lose their guidance, and they would eventually flounder. Everyone else, by and large, would actually find things easier without all the myths and excess rules imposed on us by our leaders. There would be a crisis of short duration, followed by people cashing in on it and solving it. Ultimately, under those conditions, the worldly people would do far better than any Witless.
