NO
Jehovah's Witnesses are the first thing that comes to mind when I hear the words cult or spiritual abuse.

they pray to god and they read the bible everyday? yep, they're freaking xians, i'm sorry to burst anyones bubble.
they all think that other xians are not true xians and do not interpret the bible correctly. other xians think that JWs are not true xians and do not interpret the bible correctly. oh gee... do i see a pattern emerging here?

I have never met a non jw who thought jw's were in fact Christian at all. But I do know a number of Christians (not necessarily bible thumpers) who are not judgemental the way you think they may be. Just down to earth people who are more worried about their own sins than mine I guess.

When I say, hear or think "Christian", I truly think of the opposite of JW.
I believe the Biblical antiChrist to be represented by all forms of fundamentalist religion, including JWs and many many others.

Did he have on a big, beefy smile and asked if you had accepted Jesus Christ as your Personal Savior? I see he was equipped with the super duper instant convert kit.
On this point I think the evangelicals/fundamentalists are as flawed as the JW's. They are afraid of critical thinking skills. God should be strong enough for the test, I should think. To fear critical analysis is to admit your god is man-made and weak.
You sound like you're doing good, partying, studying, working out, thinking things throug on your own. Keep it up.

People who talk "Christian" do not strike me as witnesses, ever.
When I hear coined phrases like the witnesses use, then there is a flag. But only then.
