Jehovah's Witnessses, (and esp their leadership, the Governing Body) are guilty of so many things, that one has to be careful of the tabloid rumors swirling around them.
It's probably helpful to review first of all what JW's are guilty of. They are absolutely guilty in their efforts to control active members under the dictates of the conscience of the GB. Every other Watchtower article usually has big time references to how we shouldn't be like those self righteous Pharisees in Jesus day for all the rules, followed by another article next describing what one can (could) or can't (shouldn't) watch on TV, wear for clothing or hairstyles, etc. Followed by another quote that we don't want to be like the self righteous Pharisees who made rules all them time.....
JW's are guilty of condemning false prophets in other religions, while never getting one prophecy right themselves. They are guilty of changing and white washing their own history regarding failed prophecies and ridiculous statements, esp in their early times. They lie about this and look for people who do not research JW's on the internet. (Thankfully, a dwindling minority) They also promote incorrect dates as accurate history simply to prop up their most important date, 1914, without ever providing one single, reputable, outside scholarly source in support of their dates for the destruction of Jerusalem, and other "biblical" events.
They are both guilty and culpable for the pain and misery they cause in families. They speak against teenage marriage, as one is just too young to make that kind of committment, yet encourage a lifelong, irrevocable committment to the cult via JW baptism in kids as young as 8 years old, and very frequently in their teens. (EIGHT YEARS OLD!!!) If one of these baptized babies changes their minds, or god forbid, act like teenagers, they can be disfellowshipped as a teen and shunned. If they don't want to come back and submit themselves to cult rules, they set their families and loved ones up for the horrid decision they should never have to make; the cult, or my child, my relative! Parents are literally indoctrinated to ignore their adult kids who reject the JW cult simply because they got baptized way too young to make that committment. That isn't religion, thats joining the Corleone family!
Their extreme blood teaching has caused the death of thousands through the decades. Many young people, teenagers, have decided that a life saving blood transfusion is not worth it due to the dictates of this cult. They die instead of taking blood, because life is precious. Makes total sense.....
These are just some high(low)lights. There are other very legit issues to go through. So why bring this up? Because JW's are often accused of the most ridiculous things. (end of Part 1)
