I would say for sure you have never studied what the JW s teach.
So many on this forum are willing to criticize what they do not know.
Are you afraid to study and find out you are wrong?.
Sorry, this nonsense doesn't cut any mustard on a forum like this unless you are assuming we all have amnesia.
There have been a couple of vocal JWs active here for years and between them they may have posted 10,000 or 15,000, or 20,000 or more times on this Spirituality Forum, very often about the JW organizarion and its beliefs, very often on threads devoted specifically to JW-related topics, very often in which they posted (copy-pasted) material from jw.org or from your organization's publications.
And we've seen what they have said, we have read about what they believe, we have listened to how they explain it, we have seen how they behave, we have seen their JW-Christian beliefs in action ~ especially how they process disagreement and scrutiny.
And we have read thousands and thousands and thousands of posts in which they had free rein to explain what they believed and why they believe it (not to mention the effects it has had on their intellectual processes, their interpersonal skills and their treatment of other posters).
So you can't roll up here after all this has been going on and claim that people don't know what JWs teach. . Not to put too fine a point on it, it makes you look silly. There may have been literally tens of thousands of posts here explaining what JWs teach in the last few years.
You can't just ignore this and deflect from questions and observations that you find inconvenient by declaring that people are "criticizing something that they do not know". It's just plain silly ~ and comes across as being kind of affectedly and self-servingly oblivious.
