I've heard some pretty good points from them.
But no one really takes them seriously, why?

Decent people, but every bit of information that comes from the "governing body" is supposed to be taken as the word of God. The JW's are what happens when a book publisher decides to become a religion.

I've noticed how every single one of them dresses nice. I have never seen a badly dressed jehovas witness.
I'm interested to know what other christians think of them.

What do you expect? Them to show up at your doorstep and talk about how wrong they are?
No one takes them seriously because they are annoying as fuck, like some door salesman who refuses to listen when you politely ask them to leave.

I mean everything they talk about is literally in the bible. So I'm curious why they are a minority and sometimes laughed at.

It's a cult with toxic and self destructive ideology.
The worst part is that salvation is not guaranteed.
Even if they are "saved" it's under the pretense that Jehovah will recreate their spirits with His perfect memory.
I.e. you might not even be the same person in eternity. Something like a clone.
It's a religion that basically demands complete obedience and promises nothing in return. Textbook abusive relationship right there.

Yes, they dress nice and generally speaking they are great people. Money isn't everything but you should look at the graph to the left.

Oh and it also completely perverts the role of Christ. They believe that the archangel Micheal basically incarnated as Jesus. It's really weird stuff.
It's based on some weirdo's terrible exegesis of scripture.

Proselytising is one of the big reasons they aren't taken seriously.
People like to make fun of them when they come to door.
Come up with new ways to tell them to fuck off.
Wife was raised as one of them.
If it is a kid that comes to the door, don't be a dick to them because they don't have a choice.
Just tell them not to come to your house any longer and they'll mark you off the list.
If that doesn't work, tell them you've been disfellowshipped.
