We are not going to agree and you are not going to "save" me from my faith. On that note I will draw a line under this thread as we are just going round in circles and it is doing neither of us any favours

I do not think anyone is aiming to attack you on a personal level. It is just, and I confess I am not an expert here, that your particular brand of the Christian faith leaves itself open to criticism more than most.
I was reading up on this subject - here is one article:
https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Criticis...%27s_Witnesses and are a lot of valid points here. Here are a couple
- Coercion: Since 1920, the Watch Tower Society has required all congregation members participating in the preaching work to turn in written reports of the amount of their activity, explaining that the reports help the Society to plan its activities and identify areas of greater need and help congregation elders to identify those who may need assistance.
- Shunning: Witnesses practice disfellowshipping of members who unrepentantly engage in "gross sin" (most commonly for breaches of the Witnesses' code of personal morality), and "remorseless apostasy".
