The difference between this and say, a rec soccer team, is that it's an all-or-nothing endeavor. You can't "casually" become a Jehovah's Witness (or any other religion), you have to decide that your entire life is aligned to those principles.
I'm not knocking it (here, anyway), but I would hesitate to join a religion to make friends.
