Is it their door-to-door incessant preaching? Is it their view on blood? Is it that the religion itself is simply often misunderstood?

Now that the JW shunning policy is getting known, even for family, most people find that repugnant. Not understandable to non-JWs at all.

I think Witnesses are just seen as super restrictive, somewhat bizarre fundamentalists. Beyond the Biblical literalism (which turns away a lot), the abjuring of holidays and birthdays is a biggie.

JWs believe that everything is good or bad, they are always right (narcissistic), intolerant, change subjects to topics that they are comfortable talking about, cherry pick scriptures without reading all of the scriptures, lie, and appear to have two personas (i.e., authentic and cult personas).

Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,

My In-Laws have seen firsthand how the JWs have treated me. They give JWs hell whenever they come to their door.
