I have often mused on the similarity of the J W and the extremist who indulges in terrorism in order to change the world to his way of thinking. They both have the same goals, the J W is half way there, to my way of thinking. The important difference is that the dub is prepared to sit back and wait on Jehovah to do the dirty business, for the present at least...
Both advocate violence as the means to change the system "for the better"
Both have no regard for the lives of the unbelievers who disagree and do not want the same world.
Both are prepared to die for their cause - it is taken as a given in the ranks of the dubs, they sing about Myriads Of Brothers "Each his very life would give that another one live"
They are psyched up to expect persecution, even imprisonment and torture, and are resolved to resist it
In the "New World", there would be only one religion, no politics, a Theocracy in which dissenters would fight against God and be swiftly dealt with
They are prepared to subordinate their own desires, wishes, even thinking ability to the group collective opinion ..
Loyalty to "The Truth" and "The Society " is viewed as loyalty to God and must come before loyalty to ones family, even a husband or wife.
Scary, isn't it ? I am not saying that the group is currently a danger to society . The ones that I have known for years are much too ordinary and level headed - but with a basic platform as I have described above, the possibility exists for anything to happen in the future.
