I believe that anyone who can unravel your so-called reasonings will see clearly who engages in massive twisting of words.
The bottom line is that you feel that it's ok for a religious leader or organization to teach falsehoods and make false predictions and falsely claim to speak in God's name. It's fine to associate with such known teachers of falsehood. It's ok to condemn other religions for doing the same thing, but not JW leaders or the organization that supports them. Why is it ok? Because Jesus has not overtly stopped them, and so no one else should either.
Of course, anyone who isn't a JW can instantly see how such rationalizations are hypocritical and unchristian. JWs won't let themselves see it because of the high cost of getting out of the organization.
