How about the odds of being born into a "Christian nation", seemingly winning the Spiritual Lottery on the only path to God?
How many active, self-described Christians would be so, had they born in rural China?
What exactly does God have against Chinese people and children born into Muslim nations?
I think one of the reasons JWs don't hold on to too many of their "born-ins" is that they actually use this line of thinking to recruit. Asking something like "What are the odds that you were born into the right religion?" is a good way to get people to look at other religions. The unwanted side-effect is that children of JWs may think, "Hey, what are the odds that I was born into the right religion?". I've no doubt that with the recent separation of the Watchtower magazine, that the public version will continue to pose this question, while the private version will focus more on obeying one's parents and not looking outside the "truth".
