You are all being too complicated about this. WT simply teaches that you do exactly what god (WT) tells you to do using your free will or he (we as resurrected anointed ones) will kill you.
Simples.

Free will definitely - but with the constant influence of our genetics and environment influencing us. For example, gravity is always exerting an influence on us, pulling us downward. We resist and it is actually good for us as exercise. We also use it to our advantage so it can be negative and positive. However, if we give in to it entirely, we lay down and die.
Some of our genetics and environment are very positive, and we can benefit from the positive influence. When that influence is negative, we can resist it and become stronger. If we do not, we may as well sign our lives over to others as we are swept along with their momentum. We still have free will but may lazily decide not to use it when it does not suit us.
