I think, as with all religions, there are those who choose to believe the doctrine in a different way. If that wasn't the case, everyone who was religious would be the same religion.

Anyone who is so poorly knowledgeable about WWI War Bonds cannot be believed about anything else he says about the witnesses.
Your claim that Rutherford bought War Bond to finance the society is laughable beyond the extreme and a slap in the face of those who live and serve back then.

When you buy War Bonds, the money goes to the War effort, not to a corporation. Years later, you get the money back, plus some interest.
Now I guess you can change your claim and say he sold phony war bonds, which I suspect is what you have been trying to claim. If that was your intent, you need to do a better job at knowing what you're talking about.

Jehovah's Witnesses are the same all over the world. I am in the US but, if I went to the UK, Spain, Africa, Australia the teachings would be the same and I would be among true spiritual friends. That can't be said of the religions in just a state in the US or in some places, a few miles down the same road.
There are ex-witnesses who do all they can to mislead many. It is like running away from a flood and directing people down a road you know is closed but you do it anyway.

"But shun empty speeches that violate what is holy... their word will spread like gangrene." - 2 Timothy 2:16,17
In context...
(2 Timothy 2:14-19) Keep reminding [fellow Christians] of these things, charging them before God as witness, not to fight about words, a thing of no usefulness at all because it overturns those listening. 15 Do your utmost to present yourself approved to God, a workman with nothing to be ashamed of, handling the word of the truth aright. 16 But shun empty speeches that violate what is holy; for they will advance to more and more ungodliness, 17 and their word will spread like gangrene. Hy·me·nae′us and Phi·le′tus are of that number. 18 These very [men] have deviated from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already occurred; and they are subverting the faith of some. 19 For all that, the solid foundation of God stays standing, having this seal: “Jehovah knows those who belong to him,” and: “Let everyone naming the name of Jehovah renounce unrighteousness.”

Define offshoot. There are many who were Witnesses who decided to stop being Witnesses and choose another path.

There aren't any offshoots of Jehovah's Witnesses. There maybe disgruntle ex-witnesses, but they are not a religion. Their sole goal is just to discredit us.

easy, Jehovahs witnesses all hate each other, kinda like catholics and protestants, so when they come to each others doorsteps and recognize each other, they go into a killing frenzy.
Penguinism is much tamer with that, we run our religion the same like Atheism and Catholicism, yet we are more militaristic.
