Regarding conservative views, I think generally Witnesses are more vulnerable to quack cures. Both from a macro, social point of view and in their personal lives. They still are quite anti-establishment.
That describes my parents and many of thier JW friends very well. Granted there is no perfect government. The US Constitution even grants that it was to establish "a more perfect union". I love that.
Anyway, many of the JWs I know are the most bizarre combination of anti-establishment, moral prudes you can find. It's like they went to Woodstock and said, "No free love for me, thanks. I'm just here 'cause The Man is keeping me down." Whatever works for you. I will say that JWs only advocate overthrow of government by Jehovah's hands. Hardly counterrevolutionaries.
I think it is sad that there are so many unmarried Witness folks. I think it is lack of selection and opportunity, mostly
This is sad. I knew two sisters as a child in the Hall who completely gave up on marriage because the New Order was so near. They were old (70s) then. I can't imagine they are still waiting now.
I'm not so sure about the selection. Maybe it's tough if you are older and single, but the dating circuit was pretty brisk when I was a whippersnapper. I had no problem finding a girlfriend from 17 to 23. The real problem is that you get pushed to marry so soon if you do date. I've been married 13 years now. It's been tough at times but I wouldn't change it. Leaving the confines of JW church has been the best thing for our relationship. MUCH less catering to what others say you should do with your life.
Yeah, I digress. Those JWs are an interesting bunch.
