Sometimes I get the distinct impression that religious fundamentalists don't like democracy.

Yes, great thread. (stuckinarut)
Also, what about the expression that was well used throughout the 80's: "the new world order" or "new order"!
Just another note, the WTS never referred to the future earth or current organization as the NEW WORLD ORDER, but only either NEW WORLD or NEW ORDER. The WTS used NEW WORLD ORDER only when quoting non-jw sources.
*** w05 6/1 p. 3 Whatever Happened to World Unity? ***
“For the first time since World War II the international community is united. . . . The world can therefore seize this opportunity to fulfill the long-held promise of a new world order.” SO SAID a president of the United States
*** w93 1/1 p. 19 par. 5 Shepherding With Our Grand Creator ***
also to feed the sheep. What a glorious fulfillment of this prophecy we see today! While politicians talk of uniting mankind through a new world order, the one Shepherd is actually uniting the sheep of all nations through a multilanguage witnessing campaign such as only God’s organization on earth could ever begin to undertake.

In view of more recent events, however, world leaders have been talking about “a new world order.” But it can hardly be said that any “new world” of their making has provided true peace and security.
*** w93 5/1 p. 3 Do We Need the Bible? ***
As this century draws to a close, technological developments and human philosophies have failed to produce world stability. Recent hopes for a new world order have given way to disillusionment, and the lives of many have been reduced to a daily struggle for survival.
*** w93 12/15 p. 12 par. 8 Trust in Jehovah! ***
The front cover of the May 1993 issue of the magazine World Press Review was emblazoned with the message: “THE CORRUPTION BOOM—Dirty Money in the New World Order. The corruption industry extends from Brazil to Germany, from the United States to Argentina, from Spain to Peru, from Italy to Mexico, from the Vatican to Russia.” Based as it is on hatred, greed, and distrust, man’s so-called new world order reaps nothing but escalating miseries for mankind.
*** w92 3/1 p. 3 Man’s Plans for International Security ***
“When all this is over, we want to be the healers. We want to do what we can to facilitate what I might optimistically call a new world order.”—U.S. president George Bush, January 1991, shortly after the beginning of the war with Iraq.
“President Bush’s concept of a New World Order stresses the importance of the rule of law and the belief that nations have a collective responsibility for freedom and justice. With the ending of the Cold War, a new era is emerging.”—U.S. ambassador to Australia, August 1991.
*** w92 3/1 p. 6 Will Plans for International Security Succeed? ***
An editorial in Die Kerkbode, the official journal of South Africa’s Dutch Reformed Church, said: “We are experiencing the transition into a new world order.
*** w92 4/1 p. 6 par. 1 Man’s “New World Order” Near? ***
The president of the United States called it “a new world order.”
And so on

Actually it was the other way around. "Joy Division" became "New Order", one of the greatest bands of the 80s, but one of the most boring, live.
That's what I said.....
And Lord Google says the name came from a Guardian article.
