Can anyone enlighten us as to what aspect of following in Jesus' footsteps do JW's adhere?

Good question. JW's will say that they follow Jesus's footsteps because they preach the Kingdom of God door to door and use Jehovah's name, and that they obey the laws in the bible.
I agree that they do follow some of Jesus's instructions, but on the most part, they follow the Watchtower Org which isn't in sync with the love Jesus had.

Hmm, well, they stand up to the pharasees in the pharasees' temple. No, wait ... you get DF'd if you go into a church ...
Oh, I know, they eat with whores and politicians ... ah, hold on. No they're isolationists and don't do either of that. Besides, they're bad association.
They deny Jesus! Wait ... that was Peter, but close enough, I give up.

The self appointed spokesman for the Watchtower Society is DEFD.
Where is he when we need him to sort out such an urgent matter?

- They talk a lot.
- They look for ways to avoid working full time. (pioneering™)
- The tassels on their shoes resemble the laces on old style sandals.

Well, here are a few:
1. They believe in God
2. They believe in a resurrection (not an immortal soul)
3. They don’t believe in a burning hell (kind of goes along with there not being an immortal soul)
4. They don’t believe Jesus was God Almighty
5. They believe that God will destroy the wicked at the climax of the last days and like Jesus warn others to repent.
There are many ways JWs try to be like Jesus but like imperfect people of all Christian professing faiths, they miss the mark miserably.

2. They believe in a resurrection (not an immortal soul)
Matthew 10:28 And do not become fearful of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather be in fear of him that can destroy both soul and body in Ge·hen'na.
Luke 12:4-5 Do not fear those who kill the body and after this are not able to do anything more. 5 But I will indicate to YOU whom to fear: Fear him who after killing has authority to throw into Ge·hen'na
Could've fooled me.
