It is bad for the individual because they stagnate. It is bad for the group because, if a problem comes up and the existing leaders do not have a good solution, then the problem is not going to get solved.
Is it "Healthy" for every JW to think alike like they do....

Where everyone thinks exactly alike, no one thinks very much.

It's unhealthy and it leads to mind control

They are being conditioned.
They will be ready for the New Paradigm soon.
They can no longer think for themselves.
They are used to believing whatever they are "spoonfed" by the org.
When the NEW SCROLLS are announced they will believe that new agenda, too.
Very soon they will lose their "specialness of having God's name."
Those new scrolls will divulge that "God's name has, actually, been lost and that NO ONE really knows what God's name is."
That will be "the finished mystery" of their agenda.
Now, the JWs will unite by "embracing the Rainbow" (Rainbow is another masonic term) by converging with all other religions ato join into the ONE WORLD RELIGION.
This New Paradigm will carry the theme "to heal humanity and to heal the planet."
Everyone will have the same agenda and EVERYONE WILL THINK ALIKE. This is how ONE WORLD UNITY comes into being!
No more scary mags! No more door to door!
THIS IS THE GREAT DECEPTION that is coming!
Get your loved ones out of there!

I have found it interesting because they think alike because they are forced to, not because they want to.
What's interesting, is at meetings/assemblies they love to rave about 6+ million worshipping in unity, but the unity is fake. It is part of being in a high control group. -

That would take a lot of control and control can only work if there is a lot of fear. And all someone needs to do is talk to a person that comes out of a control relationship and they would never say it is healthy - now would they?

NO, it is definately not healthy to be forced, through various means, into thinking like the FDS.
Or, if you cannot agree with FDS or the general culture of the org because you can and do actually think, but you must learn to guard your mouth lest you get a dressing down for voicing your contrary opinions and being labelled "unspiritual". It is soul destroying. And very isolating. Suffocating.
JW's do not think alike - they are told what they have to accept without question.

Living a lie to be in the truth? Sound like a mental illness too me!

There is a fundamental question to be considered.
WHY are human beings individuals in the first place if God wants them all thinking alike and behaving alike?
In order to be an individual you must possess differences or you cannot be individuated from others.
Think of a handful of pennies as an example. They are all the same and in no way different UNTIL one takes on characteristics which differs from the rest.
Conformity, as a person, erases who you are.
The selection process in DNA over the course of time is for variety.
The very essence of mutation is variety.
The thing which is essential for us to have in order to possess personality is the stamp of creative uniqueness.
The voice and not the echo, as Emerson would say.
The group is always a brutish instrument of a select few parasitic leaders and the Watchtower cabal is no exception.

real one
actually they dont all think alike...some of them get blood transfusions and there is a group of them that are trying to get rid of that old law doctrine of abstaining from blood.
