Another thing, the WT encourages a blood lust within JWs, and I remember being confused when I was younger because of this. On one hand JWs are taught that we love our neighbors, yet we can't wait for them to be destroyed. On top of that, the bloodlust is supported by handpicked scriptures.
This is not at all unique to Jehovah's Witnesses. Pretty much all ~38,000 sects within Christianity will do this in order to prop their deity up.
Who would, after all, cherry pick Numbers 15:32-36, which describes how a man was stoned to death for gathering some sticks on the Sabbath? Or who would cherry pick Joshua 6:21 which tells us how the Israelites conquered Jericho and didn't just kill combatants, but also civilians and animals, even having them plunge their swords into their babies? If a group of people would do this nowadays, Christians would be outraged (as they should), but when it's about, for example, homosexuality, these same Christians could very well turn around and spewthe most hateful vitriol. And why not? Using the bible and some mental gymnastics, you can excuse any crazy idea.
It's not just violence either, it's also weakness. Which Christian would cherry pick Judges 1:19, which states that with the help of God Judah drove out all inhabitants from the mountain, but apparently God's help was not enough when certain inhabitants had chariots of iron. I think they'd much rather cherry pick the battles that their god has won. Without considering if these battles have taken place at all, obviously.
So as you see, this is not a Jehovah's Witness thing. This is something that Christians do in general.
