They boast about keeping the organization clean. What they call "clean" is one where there are no dissenting ideas, but pedophiles who abuse their bogus authority are allowed to remain in good standing, and no one is allowed to warn others about it or rat them out to the police. Yet, you can get disfellowshipped for putting up a Christmas tree.
JW's are the biggest hypocrites ever!!!

Yes, it is hypocrisy at its worst.
It comes from the top down.

I just wanted to chime in because of how strongly I feel about this subject as well.
a couple weeks ago the P.O(seems like a good man) came by my house, wanting to encouage me cause i hadnt been to a meeting in months.
He asked me what went wrong and if there was anything he could do.
I told him I was tired of dealing with the hypocrisy, It is taught on the platform to LOVE one another, but that is where it stopped. Told him there was no love at the cong. He told me I wasnt the only one who felt that way. Then he asked me again, if there was anything he could do about it. I said you cant, because its not a cong. thing, its a organization thing. Until changes are made at HQ. This problem will never be resolved.

Timbob,
I can't tell you how many people I've known who left the organization for that exact reason - No Love! I felt that way myself for the entire 12 years I was in. Although I did meet a few very loving people for the most part the JW's I knew where judgemental, arrogant and unloving. And I think everyone is correct they learn this from the Organization and it gets worse year after year.
Before leaving the org. I had several of those "light bulb" moments and one was that I came to the realization that the organization, nor anyone in it really cared for me or my children in any way. This came from the many times my kids were sick with asthma, (both of them have it), my son had surgery, and I was sick and we missed weeks of meetings and NOT ONE person, not even the elders called to check on us. For all they knew we could have moved away or worse, died! I started to think that This organization does not deserve having my precious children in it or having the ability to control my children's lives in any way.
Also NOT ONE person offered us assistance in anyway any time we needed it. It was always "worldly" nieghbors or family that were the ones who offered help. My one nieghbor who I barely knew at the time gave my kids rides to school for a week when I had the flu. I called a "sister" across the street first and she said her schedule was too busy. But, in fact, she had to drive past my kid's school to get to work each morning and just did not want to be bothered.
I started to see how when Jesus said his followers would have "love among themselves" this excluded by a landslide the JW's.
