1. Shunning for life.
2. They are reckless with the heath, education and welfare of their followers (Blood doctrine).
3. They are over certain about what they believe............ until it changes.
4. There's no appreciation for higher learning until they need to visit their doctor or dentist or undergo life saving surgery.
5. They have no appreciation for the Arts.......... Kingdom Hall music and WT illustrations...........makes that point.
Whats to like? My question provides the answer.

Things I hate:
1 - 5: The Dark Lords' evil, oppressive control of the sheep that includes destroying individual ambition, achievement and conscience, pits brother against brother in a never-ending pharisaical stream of worthless and damaging rules and near-rules for no reason other than to use peer pressure to maintain control (and at the same time knowing full well of the carnage they are causing in the process), destroying the individual by creating an environment where not going along routinely leads to depression, suicide and other dysfunctions, and the destruction of families by their evil shunning policies.
Things I Like:
1 - 5: Nothing

I don't have a top 5 hates; as far as I'm concerned, there's just one quality that disqualifies the WTS from any claims of legitimacy...
....the fact that it's an authoritarian high control group.

All other negative aspects of the Org stem from that single fundamental defining characteristic.

Similarly, I really have only one overarching Like about being an XJW...
...the freedom to be as whole a person as I can, without being hamstrung by ideology.

I agree with Giordanno's top four. I would add:
5) No associating with "worldly" people
As far as what I like:
1) Training in public speaking
2) Easy to make "friends", if you tow the party line and don't know TTATT
3) Hospitality for those in ASL or other language groups (can easily find a friend to stay with when travelling, feeling of community/camaraderie). I think this is what most of those (like my grandparents) felt in the early days of the org. It's a close-knit community and they really help each other out.
I can't think of any more at this moment, but I'm sure there are a few more.

never a jw
Hate: utter dishonesty, shunning policy, blood transfusions policy, pedophile protection program, higher education policy
Like: It's a good refuge that brings genuine happiness to the gullible, uneducated, old, depressed, and anyone who needs BS and fantasies to cope with reality.

The GB × 5. -
Bugbear
Here are a few of my “hate the most” with JW:s
1./ Their total ignorance of facts.
2./ Their moral superior attitude over you when you tell them the facts
3./ Their shunning of people that are trying to explain that they are holding their world maps upside down.
4./Their continuing spreading of lies and asking for money to do that.
5./ Their total absence of economical accounting and statement and where the money goes.

No top 5 for me......that the WBT$ even exists makes me sick.
I would like to see the GB put on trial for crimes against humanity and face the worst possible penalty.
Even that might not raise a smile with me.
the WBT$ has done TOO MUCH damage now...it's too late.
