short answer..... yes.
long answer..... yes.
They are taught from the get-go that they are God's chosen people and the entire world is ignorant and evil.
This is along the lines of what I was thinking. Check this out, this is from the 1/15/2011 Watchtower Study Edition, the very last page, 32 which is the back cover. The first paragraph.
"Today God's servants are accomplishing the greatest Christian works ever. Over seven million individuals look forward to surviving the great tribulation. Imagine, never before have so many faithful servants of Jehovah been active in so many lands throughout the earth!"
Statements such as that demonstate the lack of heartfelt love JWs have towards nonJWs. Its an us vs. them mentality thats reinforced everytime they read WT literature, attend meetings, assemblies, conventions, even when they have gatherings where so called mature Christians are present to chaperone. The only Christians on this earth, and only people who stand any chance of surviving the Great Tribulation are JWs. Everyone else, no matter what good they do, or how golden their heart may be, is still chopped liver. The only thing that seperates JWs from hate groups such as neo-nazis, is that they're not committing violence against nonJWs. However, the dehumanization of nonJWs is all too prevalent. You know, I'm yet to hear anyone in my congregation express sympathy towards nonJW Japanese. As far as they're concerned, only a few JWs were hurt, and only a few Kingdom Halls were damaged. Everyone else was pretty much collateral damage.
Even when you consider trolls such as DJEggNogg, you can see the contempt that even misfit JWs who are misfits by even WT/JW standards, have against nonJWs or those who've left. I wish I could find Eggnogg's post, but at one point he taunted another poster regarding how one day that poster was going to be destroyed. At that point I questioned whether or not Eggnogg was ever or is a JW. However threads like this comfirm for me that he is associated with JWs in one way or another. I've heard stories of brothers telling householders that one day they'll plant a tree over them. The WT has condemned that kind of language, but they still endorse the kinds of thoughts that enter the figurative heart which eventually gives birth to that language. They do it with articles containing quotes such as what I typed above from the 1/15/11 Study Edition WT. Granted I don't want to generalize, because there's plenty of JWs who don't have that swarmy, pretentious attitude, but there are enough that do where its not entirely off base to brush that stereotype off.
