There is room for all.

Tuition is free.

Court: Judges cannot get involved in Church Disputes

Here's a link to the decision. Does the Alito-Kagan concurring opinion reasonably include as "ministers" all the "baptized publishers" taking Watchtower teachings door-to-door? This language suggests it would:
The “ministerial” exception gives concrete protection to the free “expression and dissemination of any religious doctrine.” The Constitution leaves it to the collective conscience of each religious group to determine for itself who is qualified to serve as a teacher or messenger of its faith.
Edit to add: This was a rare unanimous decision from the Supreme Court! -

Why the house to house preaching work never works
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini dislike when people come knocking on my door ''cold calling'' with their sales pitch.
do you need a new roof?
do you want to donate to a local school so they can pay for a trip?

It's not true that it never works though.
It serves to screen for the prospects they prefer, too. People who yield to the door-to-door cold calls are likely to be compliant in other ways. It is more appealling to followers ("How interesting! I'd LOVE a free Bible study!") than to boat-rockers ("You have five seconds to get off my property...four...three..."). It helps them "keep the flock clean".

Recent versions of IE produce blank posts. Either engage its "compatibility mode", or use a different browser--Chrome, Firefox or Safari.

When you find yourself alone while sleeping with somebody of the opposite sex, it's high time to be calling a marriage counselor!

After 100+ years, the Watchtower Society can be summed up in one word...

pride or arrogance2.
(literary & literary critical terms) (in greek tragedy) an excess of ambition, pride, etc., ultimately causing the transgressor's ruin [from greek]hubristic , hybristicadjthey have been able to attract a core of followers, and, like the bullies they are, hold them through a combination of a fear shunning and the childish vision of eternal life in a new world.

Another arson attack at the University Heights KH in San Diego

$500,000 in damages one time, and $400,000 in damages the next. Can this KH be worth over a million dollars?
We're talking about Southern California real estate, so a million dollars isn't out of line for what a contractor hiring paid employees would bid on a major rebuild on a place of assembly. With volunteer labor the Watchtower can do the job for less, but fire investigators and the DA would cite the full market price for demolition, cleanup and repairs without deducting anything for volunteer labor.

The Catholic bible was ALL THE BIBLE THERE WAS for 1500 years.
I offer as a counter-example the Orthodox canon of 76 books. This includes all the books of the Catholic canon (some with different names and divisions) and two books unique to the Orthodox canon: 1 Esdras and 3 Maccabbees. Instead of having roots in St Jerome's Latin translation, they use Greek texts : Septuagint OT sources and Byzantine for the NT. There is more to the Christian world than western Europe and its former colonies.
