Comparing Jehovah Witnesses to Mormons Both religions are cults and you would have to be mentally challenged in the IQ department to get involved with either of these weird faiths but if I was forced to associate myself with one or the other I would pick the Mormon religion. Mormons unlike the JW'S fight for their country. They stress education and build and maintain fine schools and Universities. Jehovah Witnesses do none of these things. As far as I know Mormons do not shun a family member if they leave the religion. Jehovah Witnesses do though. Mormons are good citizens, Jehovah witnesses are not.
