No, not because of the message of deluding yourself into seeing the hand of God working in mundane WT activities. That is to be expected from this org. What really bothered me was the quote in paragraph one. The nerve they have to mentionTyphoon Haiyan after what had happened there. Witnesses died in Kingdom Halls after being told they would be safe there. What does that say about God's hand and blessing on this org?

ATT: WARNING
by EJ257 inplease be aware of everything that is happening around the world at this moment in time.
this goes to anyone, ex-communicated, removed, serving, believer and non.
at this point in my observations i have realized many religions/ideologies know there is some sort "end of time" or a transition into a new order of living in this earth.

Remember when they tell all of you to cease preaching, it's for a reason, the only reason this would happen is when bethel knows it's time.
When they say that I'll know they have run out of money to print WTs and I'll be very happy.

The last paragraph of a WT Study:
"Soon this systems of things with it's blah blah blah will be destroyed along with Satan the Devil. Are we not glad then to be resolved in our heart to avoid blah blah blah and survive into the new system God is preparing? Yes, instead of focusing on blah blah blah let us give more to the org"

I believe that WT must know that they are employing dishonest propaganda techniques in many of their articles. It is a form of conditioning. It is why they are always pushing for more personal study and comments, they want you to brain wash yourself. -

The Catholic church has stopped opposing evolution. Although they don't publicize their stance it is in the foreword of a Catholic Bible. It basically says that Genesis is an allegory and God created man through evolution. That is a stance I think many religions will start taking as evolution becomes more accepted. -

We need to bombard headquarters with this list. It's simple, concise and reassuring; give us what we want and we'll go away.
No, they listen to "honest hearted ones", once you disagree with them about something major you are no longer considered "honest hearted"

What would that leave them that sets them apart from any other Protestant evangelical church?
You forgot about the whole Paradise Earth thing, they need that to be unique.

9. make celebrating certain secular traditions like birthdays and Christmas a consistence matter.
10. quite enforcing people to dress a predefined way hair length, beards or etc..These two would actually probably be harder for them to do than some of the other ones because these would be very visible changes to outsiders.

How can teaching things that are not true ever be acceptable?
I believe that many people in mainstream religions know that it is to be taken with a grain of salt but they still feel good about the overall message of their churches. It is not the fanatical "We have the 100% truth!" that you see coming from JWs. In this way I think some religions are acceptable because people have chosen them. They aren't being manipulated to stay. They have the freedom to change their minds and explore any opposing ideas if they wish.
