You don't have to deal with anyone who thinks differently than you do.

JWs really believe they are better than everyone else. And that's all that counts.

Being a Witness makes you feel "special". That's good, isn't it?

Some people say its good to live in the moment with your head up your ass.
I could never get the hang of it. I live in yesterday and tomorrow and piss all over today.
Thats one reason I cant be a witness.
It would be nice to never worry about a career or where the next job is coming from.
To lean on Jehovah and let him guide and direct.
I cant do it. So I'll either go to hell or be banned from paradise at least in some peoples minds.
Personally, I dont believe it.

You are already out the door before any pesky Bible-thumpers knock on your door on the weekends.
You tend to keep your car clean.
You have some decent threads in case you get a job interview. (Well, some do.)
If you ever really have to stop at a restroom before you get home, you know all
the best gas stations/restaurants/public buildings in the area with clean facilities.You watch less television.
You never wake up with a stranger.

The WT does encourage clean living, with no smoking, drugs, over indulgence in alcohol, risky sexual conduct, etc. It also teaches people to have good values and be honest (unless you're lying for the sake of the kingdom, of course).
None of these things are exclusive to JWs however. Many churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, etc. that do not employ unethical mind control methods encourage these behaviors in their followers as well.
In my opinion, the price you pay for any good that comes from the WT is not even close to worth it.
