I was hoping that I misunderstood your statement and I tend to agree with your view.
The thing that really disturbed me about Jehovah's Witnesses was that they are an apocoliptic sect that hopes for armageddon so that things can get better. Me, I have always dreamed of world peace and believe that paradise can be found on earth, but only if people are tolerant of other peace loving people. Some people don't have much tolerance, religious or atheist.

Apparently we share a similar view. Peace.
