Catholics are ok, Baptists are ok, Muslims are ok, Jws are ok in my book. It's the divisive ideologies that they subscibe to that I find contemptible.

I kinda think ideology by nature creates division. Even atheist ideology creates division, doesn't it?...

This topic isn't about which religion is "ok" i'm just seeing if you guys can admit if JW is a cult

ah ok that sounds good, There are many instinces in the bible when it talks about The Father, Son and Holy Spirit as one being, There is no separation with them, sure they work separatly but The Son was not an angel, haha that one makes me giggle the most.
Sounds like you got a little off topic there.
Seriously though YES they are a cult not by admision but by fact.

Spooner, you might enjoy this link, for further information and research.

I suggest you spend more time learning how to be an effective apologist. You have jumped in the deep end, here, secure that your own beliefs are sensible, and everybody else's is silly. Your comments on the trinity, for instance, make perfect sense to you, but not to those who haven't been indoctrinated in your faith.
You mention experts and scriptures without citing them. This is poor scholarship, and will not get the attention of deep thinkers here. Also, to be an effective apologist, you must be willing to put your own beliefs under the same scrutiny you put other religions through.
I believe the Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult. I can specifically list the reasons why. Can you?

No
Care to explain why not?
Saying JWs are NOT a cult without some explanation is as bad as someone saying they ARE a cult without explanation.

If JWs are a cult, then every religion is. The same can be said about community organizations. They all use use some sort of 'mind-control'. Hard-core Patriotism is an example. And even discrimination.
