Some Christians might be that way. But the ones that really "get it" know that they are in a pitiful situation. They are gratefull that they have been given the gift of grace and know that they didn't deserve it, nor could they ever deserve it.
Do JW's (and uppity-christians in general) walk around with a false sense of accomplishment?

Yea, that kinda thing can get to you, if you play the compare or "who is the better person" game. Once u let go, these and any people like that are unknowing pawns in a game they're really unaware of, sadly. But one can find amusement instead of chagrin, if one so desires.

I think they act uppity because they think they are the only ones that know the "truth." I know my mom does.

Do bears poop in the woods?! Listening to some of the GB's talks (in particular , Splane's talk slagging off other "anointed" as causing all the trouble in the congregation and promoting himself) shows that this attitude is endemic amongst JWs going right to the top. Having said that , there are some truly humble , meek people but not too many. It is , as others have said , very much a "visible works" religion.

Hell yea! That's why I resisted in the Borg for 2 years. I had the Truth, I went to all the meetings, I carried the brothers into field service with my car (for free), I was frequently asked to tend the microphones and to serve as a "bouncer"...a typical MS material. That is a powerful drug, beeing able to sniff more power in the air...it makes you feel accomplished.
