she isnt old enough to buy alcohol, to vote, to decide her own medical treatment, to buy a pet, to travel alone... yet she was deemed old enough to dedicate her life to a religion that will cut her off from her family if she ever leaves.. here she is applauded for shunning her own sister who tried to keep in contact with her after waking up.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yzgnfda8ki.

The more WT bangs on about stuff it knows nothing about, in this case tolerance, the more pressure it puts on individual JWs to toe the line with regards to adopting intolerant attitudes towards non-jw people.
The more intolerant individual JWs become towards those on the other side of the cult compound the more psychological discomfort it will produce as their individual conscience struggles to reconcile the JW attitudes in their everday life.
Because, let's face it, trying to incorporate your JWness into everyday life is like trying to jam a square peg into round hole - regardless of their fairytaly ending videos, it just doesn't work. The more individual JWs that feel this uncomfortable mismatch of intolerant ideology with workmates and classmates the more JWs might actually start to wake up.
Or, maybe I 'm just a crazy optimist.

This horrible cult actively trains the "natural affection" out of these people.
The org: If you shun your sister and tell the whole world about it, you can go on the platform at the convention and everyone will clap for you.
Jw: Oooh goodie, I love applause.

JWs biggest problem is not doctrinal issues
by Chook init's biggest problems are associated with its lack of genuine love and concern for the rank& file.
the average person doesn't need a food critic to tell them their hamburger is shit, in the same manner the average person can discern kindness and love.
gbs fake love and concern is evident in the way head office deals with victims of sexual abuse by jw clergy.

I agree most JWs do not know or care about doctrinal discrepancies and inconsistencies. This religion has been slowly morphing into a venga bus fake love fest for some time now and if someone feels a part of that they will remain loyal to it unquestioningly.
Gone are the days of the thinking JW that did things on principle and knew their bible and their religions doctrine and were capable of debating it.
Witness 2.0 in 2017 and beyond is ideally for the GB as shallow intellectually as emotionally and leaves the thinking up to the GB and couldn't care less about doctrine or history or Jesus.

The thing is, religious organizations can get away with a lot more - all in the name of freedom of religion.
The question is why does WT insist on this rule and not just let it be none of their damn business what medical treatments the congregants receive. Why would this issue need to be a do or die deal-breaker for people? The GB could call it all off and call it new light but they don't, why not? There is something more than "bible command" at play here.
