Instead of the term Watchtower coins of unity, the more appropriate term is conformity. -

I think both "insular" and "isolationist" are good but I went with "insular" because it seems more impartial to me. -

Hi Paul,
I love using a Thesaurus when looking for alternative words.

Cultlike.
That was my first impression when I first experienced the shenanigans of Flipper's family - my first encounter with JWs other than at the front door. Same feeling being in a kingdom hall.
They struck me as very similar to Scientologists, Est, Moonies and Multi Level Marketing groups. Fake-happy, nodding heads, weird mannerisms.
Now, ten years later, I really feel that "cultlike" is an accurate description. From an "outsider" perspective it's a mild word considering how damaging and dishonest the religion is.
