Do you think you will always remember that Jehovahs Witnesses are the
only religion on earth that believes the "wild beast" of the book of Revelation is the United Nations ?
Probably not, if I'm being honest. I like to think I have a good memory. But, decades from now, I'm unlikely to recall this particular obscure fact about Jehovah's Witnesses doctrine. No offense.

Do you think you will remember that JWs alone believe the attack of Babylon the Great in the bible represents the total destruction of all religious organisations on earth and an attempt eventually to destroy that of Jehovah's Witnesses themselves?
Same answer as above.

What do you think your reaction would be if one day all religions institutons* were abolished?
It's hard to answer that question, since a lot would have to change in the world for something like this to even be a remote possibility.
Consider, for example, that even the brutal, atheistic, totalitarian regimes of the 20th Century -- the Soviet Union and Communist China -- weren't able to abolish all religious institutions. So imagine what kind of governments it would take to actually accomplish that.
Long before we got to that "one day" where all religious institutions could even conceivably be abolished, hundreds of very different countries around the world would all have to undergo radical and likely violent changes to their systems of government. If I somehow lived through all of that, I'm sure I'd have a very different reaction than just now considering the sudden abolition of all religious institutions.
It's also not clear what the United Nations would have to do with that far-fetched hypothetical scenario. The UN is, as Ross suggested above, a somewhat feeble organization.
