SocietyA group of human beings broadly distinguished from other groups by mutual interests, participation in characteristic relationships, shared institutions, and a common culture. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Third Edition © 1996
The Watch Tower Corporation started out as simply a do it yourself magazine then a publishing business, then a religion that denied it was a religion, then a religion. Now it's back to being just a business again since 2000. -

Honesty
Actually, The WTBTS produces less Bibles than any other Bible society.
Their main publishing efforts are geared towards an apostate magazine they claim to be edited by God.

The Jehovah's Witnesses is a political group that calls themselves a religion, who's members revere the icon printing corporation and focus all their activities on advancing the interests of the Watch Tower Publishing Corporation (The Society). The Society is a group of human beings broadly distinguished from other groups by mutual interests that include manufacture of mass produced literature of a political nature with a radicle religious tone, develop real estate, and sponsor conventions and sales rallies called Special Assembly Days.
The Witness people share a common culture based on Apocalyptic anxiety, high control of members, embracement of underachievement and poverty, reverence for the publishing corporations, and based on political religious intolerance and elitism.
For conscientious cussedness on the grand scale, no other aggregation of Americans is a match for Jehovah’s Witnesses. Stanley High, The Saturday Evening Post, September 14, 1940 -

Behold! These tracts are resplendent!!! Observe them in their natural habitat shoved in the doorframe of some sheep of good will, in between the knobshaft and the wood paneling. They will not rest until they are nestled comfortably in the trash can, between a political flyer and the sales insert of the Sunday paper.

"Directorate of Ignorant Old Farts in Brooklyn"
