"Whatever you say about Witnesses at least they are always respectful to outsiders."- you have got to be kidding?!
As for saying the jw's think people go to hell that doesn't surprise me at all, non jw's get confused with jw doctrines and often will say a jw thinks everybody will go to hell but them. They do not understand that jw's do not believe in hell but rather soul sleep and simply getting extinguished at the big A if you are not good enough. Even after explaining that jw's do not believe in hell the non jw will ask something like, "well, where do they think you go after you die? what happens to you (meaning your soul)?" and "well, if there is no hell then they can just do whatever they want, right?"
After 100+ years of knocking on peoples doors you would think they could have at least got this one concept across to the public. But they don't, they hide that at the doors if possible because many people do believe that something continues on after death, not just a memory of you in which jah will clone you or re-create you. It is a deal breaker for many if they knew that off the bat when talking to a jw at the door and I believe jw's know that and that is why so few understand what jw's believe.jw's are not honest at the doors.
If jw's were honest at the doors it would go like this-
"Hi, we are jw's and we want you to join our organization. The following will be required of you-
You must believe all things from our gov body without question
You will not celebrate any holidays, ever
You will not vote
You will be prepared to commit suicide if necessary by not accepting blood
You will be prepared to kill your children by not accepting blood
You will put aside any thoughts of having a soul that continues after death
You will treat others who are df'd with contempt even if you do not know what they did to deserve being df'd
You will dress and wear your hair according to what our gb tells us is appropriate
You will have sex in only gb approved ways
You may not join a YMCA
You will attempt to restrict your friendships to jw's
You will go to all meetings to prove your spirituality
You will keep up with our ever changing doctrines and practices
You will spend every Saturday knocking on peoples doors and try to get them to join our org and you will keep a record of this activity and turn it in on a timely basis.
You will not be allowed to talk to Jesus, if you have previously been prone to pray to Jesus you will cut it out immediately! That is strictly prohibited.
Now this just a start, after 6 months or more of studying with us you must get baptized, then we can use your baptism as a weapon to control you and your family. You will also learn many other doctrines we believe and you must believe wholeheartedly and without question. So how about it? would you like to join our organization?"
Now that would be an honest presentation.
