I see a few parallels between cylons and JW’s. But ultimately it doesn’t work because:

1 - JW’s are extremely anti-military and anti-military action.

2 - JW’s aren’t monotheists in the strict sense. They are one-and-a-half-theists. JW’s believe in Jehovah (God the Father), and have more-or-less adopted the Arian heresy’s view of Jesus as demi-god. (If I not mistaken they also hold Jesus to be the Archangel Michael.)

"1 - JW’s are extremely anti-military and anti-military action."

JW's do not join or participate in political organizations. They don't vote, and don't join the military. It's not so much being "anti-military" as it is taking the admonition to be no part of the world literally.

"2 - JW’s aren’t monotheists in the strict sense. They are one-and-a-half-theists. JW’s believe in Jehovah (God the Father), and have more-or-less adopted the Arian heresy’s view of Jesus as demi-god. (If I not mistaken they also hold Jesus to be the Archangel Michael.)"

I don't think that's accurate. They believe in a single god that created all things and all other creatures. They believe Jesus was the first being created. But he's no more or less divine than other angels.

Yeah, I realize that. It only found it an amusing parallel because I live in Brooklyn. If you remember the episode when they find Earth and it’s radioactive, you see a bridge in ruins in the background. That bridge looks a bit like the Brooklyn Bridge. If it actually was the BB, then the camera would have been pretty much at the location of the Watchtower building.
