Of course. Now brace yourself. And that is exactly why getting away from a Mind Control Cult founded on and crafted on and run via a set of LIES, DECEPTION and WEASEL-WORDING must be done as soon as practicable.
Before it damages the kids (further?).
Would you think twice of removing your kids from a source of disease? The spreading of Watchtowerinsanity has all the hallmarks of a contagion.
That is not to say most JWs are bad. They are not. But they are vectors for a particularly disgusting form of illness that destroys families better than does any other "big-numbers" cult/creed.
Here is an insight. 95%+ OF THE PURPOSE OF THE SHUNNING DOCTRINE IS TO PREVENT WHISTLE-BLOWING. Who else practises shunning, eh? And what does that tell you? Keeping the congo clean, rubbish! Keep truth out, that is it instead.
And beware allowing any unsupervised contact between your kids and the disease-carriers (which is not to say be unkind to the disease-carriers: you were of this Class until recently, right?) unless you want poison to be delivered. Remember, they will think they are saving your kids, not screwing them up.
The Watchtower fulfils the scriptural criteria/definitions, however much it shamelessly denies this, of:
1. An Anti-Christ.
2. The Disgusting Thing.
3. A False Prophet.
4. The Great Whore of Babylon.
5. A Liar in God's Name who speaks with Arrogance and Extreme Presumptuousness.
The Watchtower makes God into a Lying Whore for whom they Pimp.
The Watchtower Society and the Jehovah's Witnesses Cult is an embodiment of SPIRITUAL PORNOGRAPHY, a WOLFISH TRICK, a MOST FILTHY LIE, a CHEAT, a SCAM, a DISGUSTING ABOMINATION, a BLASPHEMOUS INSULT, a WICKED FRAUD, a DISGRACE, a SCANDAL, a PEDOPHILE PARADISE - and a DAMNED OUTRAGE from start to finish.
Here, find a little of my work:

Read it and laugh at what utter fools the Gibbering Baboons of Crooklyn have made of you with their make-believe terror "Gawd" and their endless lies and prevarication.
"LAUGHTER IS HEALING, AND SELF-SUPPORTS. IT IS THE BEST MEDICINE."
It is FULLY IN ACCORDANCE with the teachings of the WATCHTOWER Bible &
Tract Society (WTBTS) for every member of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES to Carefully
Study the LIST mentioned above, which comprises truly fine scriptural food
from its own publications. Remember the WTBTS told you to confirm whether
what was taught by the WTBTS was in harmony with the Bible - and if not,
not to circulate it {WT Mar 1 1894 repr p1629}, to confirm WT teachings
against the Bible {WT May 1 1934 p131}, to invite critical examination of
your faith {WT Aug 15 1950 p263}, that, far from being wrong, it is your
duty to examine religion to see if it is true or false {WT Nov 15 1963
p688}, that you should actively examine your own religion {The Truth That
Leads To Eternal Life 1968 p13, a WTBTS publication}, that you should check
and examine BOTH sides of a matter {Awake! Oct 22 1973 p6}, that your
religion was in no way afraid of being exposed to scrutiny {WT Aug 1 1978
p12}, that you should to be willing to submit everything to scrutiny
{Awake! Aug 22 1984 p22/28}, that you should not have a closed mind {WT Nov
22 1984 p3-4}, that you should actively refer to the older publications {WT
Jun 15 1985 p12}, that all people are encouraged to examine other religions
and with an open mind {WT Apr 1 1991 p17} and that you are encouraged to
exhibit freedom of thought {Awake! Jun 8 1994 p21}. So, please follow this
advice of the WTBTS, and study that LIST very carefully. "You will know the
Truth and the Truth will set you free."(John 8:32). Fine advice indeed!
THE LIST IS PRODUCED IN DIRECT RESPONSE TO A RECENT REQUEST BY THE WTBTS in
{WT Dec 1 1990 p19}, where it quotes {WT Dec 15 1914 p377-8}: "If any one
knows anything better, let him take it. If any of you ever find anything
better, we hope you will tell us." Kindly, Prominent Bethelite has duly
obliged. Having read it, if you find the WTBTS has ever told falsehoods,
follow the WTBTS advice clearly given in {WT Dec 1 1991 p7} "A religion
that teaches lies cannot be true."; if you find the WTBTS has even made one
false prophecy, follow the WTBTS advice clearly given in {WT Feb 1 1992 p3}
"Beware of False Prophets!" - and cut yourself off from these Foul Cheats.
