As is any religion, "truth" is relative to the individual.
Being Buddhist I am inclined to say that although Buddhism isn't a religion it is, however, a philosophy that strives to allow, to teach, to give permission to, the individual to attempt an understanding of "truth" -- or 'that which merely is' without question or conjecture. This is more of a Zen Buddhist teaching that I've reconciled into my practice.
However, understanding that *all* sentient beings are deserving of compassion could be one path to defining "truth". If nothing else, it is a nice beginning. Anyway ...
"The most truthful religious organization"?
That is a question that a forensic accountant would be most adept at answering I believe.

Man created religion, there fore there can be no complete truth in religious organizations. Adam and Eve didnt have an organization, but quickly learned all truth. If complete truth does not exist between you and your god, you have not learned anything. As for the most truthful.... I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

When discussing peoples faith it is impossible to say which is true. That is like saying at a restaurant what tastes best on the entire menu. However I do feel that once faith becomes organized and institutionalized into a "religion" it is no longer a faith but a business and profits not prophets become their main concern.
What is the most truthful one? Which ever one inspires you to be the most compassionate a loving human you can be. That is the one that speaks the truth to you.

Truth and Organized religion are NOT compatible.
All organized religions tend to be dogmatic and corrupt and want ppl to believe that theirs is the way to salvation.
It's up to each human to find what is right or wrong without harm.

Since we have the truth, and it is not based on opinions, and all answers come from the Bible..........I think it safe to say the Watchtower tells the complete truth all the time.
Our leader is Christ/Jesus, and he follows commands directly from Jehovah / God.
Many have said we follow the bible far more closely than other religions. It's true. We do, because we love our creator and openly state it to the world.
It is unfortunate that so many think we come to them trying to convert them, when in reality, we are only teaching them from their own bibles. It's like taking down a map from their own wall, and showing them where they live on it.

Well it definitely isn't the Jehovahs Witnesses because the amount of false prophecies they have stated, the unique doctrines they use that intrepret events into something quite different, often NOT from the Bible alone, and the many contradictions in their teachings that are too many to state.
An example:
Is the sower of the mustard seed Jesus or Satan?

There is none. They want people to see only their views.
