Folks, JWs and olds can't unite. While the LDS collect tithes, they actually provide aid and assistance to the community and each other. They encourage higher education. They are a lot more likely to be well adjusted and successful than JWs. I think recruiting wise, they are not any more successful than JWs, but they have the added advantage of not requiring shunning or expulsions. Being a "Jack" Mormon(non churchgoing/non observant) or ex mormon May put up a barrier if you are living way outside the boundaries of society or frequently badmouthing the church or God or are flamboyant gay, but just leaving, even joining another church is not a reason, in 2016 to wholesale reject your company or keep u out of family Christmas parties. Christmas being another incompatibility with the JWs. Those people like Halloween like crazy, too.
Plus, if you are nice, the missionaries might offer to mow your lawn or fix your car. I missed it, but yesterday the guys came by and changed the next door ladies tire after she mentioned she was calling the auto club. No JW would do that. Not even to witness.
