To be suspect of the motives of people that do good for others that are not JWs.
To feel guilty for being a human being.
To look for the worst in others ( so I can report them )
To ignore the maniacal leadership of the GB.

I agree and have experienced everything said. But most of all....LongHairGal said it best for me.
"The biggest lesson I ever learned was how valuable my non-Witness family and friends really were. And, I'm so grateful they were there when I decided to exit the JW religion!
There were other lessons learned, of course, as other posters have mentioned. But, this was MY most valuable lesson!"

I wasn't neccessarily taught so much as inoculated against any other form of religious expression.

Which I don't really mind, actually.

I have been told by a reliable source that a lot of young ones are beginning to question the watchtower 'teachings(r)' now.
Good. Wake up people! You're in a dangerous cult.

It taught me how to be a great salesperson and able to take no for answer and not take it to heart.
It also taught me religion is a rort and racket

The WBT$ taught me how to hate..........consequently, I now hate them. Not because I'm evil....they taught me how to. If there is evil, it's them for teaching this hatred.
