For whatever their faults are, I have always liked that JWs refuse military service. I think they were some of the smaller groups that the Nazis persecuted in WW2, so they have a record of sacrificing themselves for a good principle.

Edits: correct some grammar

Yeah, they definitely make sure we know that being raised in it. Had a purple triangle mark to denote them and other pacifistic religions. They also were some of the earliest arrested due to their refusal to do the Hitler salute, which they also refuse nowadays to salute anyth*or say any allegiance pledges. While their reasons are religious based, I still refuse to do those too.
