No Christian group knowingly misleads other Christians, but in my vast experience, the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (LDS)seems to be closest to what Jesus talked about. Good for you to be inquisitive. Pray to our Heavenly Father for the answer, and attend the lds church, they will allow you to attend, whereas the Jehovah Witnesses will not, as far as I was told by them, unless their teachers think you are worthy.

You Ignorant. Where were you when Hitler was Throwing Jews & Jehovah Witnesses Into Gas Chambers.. Yes thats Gas Chambers, and JW died in them as well. The so called " Christians" like The Pope back at that Time Winked at what Hitler was Doing to People... So Do You Honestly " THINK" that Questions like these affect Jehovah's Witnesses?..Think Again.
Jesus showed that a Christian must be prepared to accept persecution, contempt, or even death, since he is no part of the world. (John 15:18-20) Jesus said: “Happy are you when people reproach you and persecute you and lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against you for my sake. Rejoice and leap for joy, since your reward is great in the heavens.” (Matthew 5:11, 12) Indeed, having God’s favor is what matters.
The Lds are On another Flight..

Every denomination of christianity differs. It is up to the person deciding which denomination that they agree with. You would only feel it was misleading if you did not agree with it. But that doesn't mean that it is. Often we are so quick to want to feel justified in our own beliefs, that if others believe differently it is seen as a personal attack to our inteligence and our hearts. But the reality is all denominations have good in them. We all centrally recognize that Jesus is our Savior. That He died so that we might be able to live again, that He atoned for our sins. All the other nitty gritty, is different in every denomination- and that's fine. We are all privlidge with free agency and a mind to choose which denomination is best for ourselves. It is not our place to judge others, or condemn them, as is Jesus' teachings. We must instead love them, and if you feel that they are wrong- you are welcome to share your beliefs with them. Doesn't mean it will change their mind. After that, all you can do it respect that you have a difference in opinion. As they respect that you don't believe the same. If they are not physically hurting themselves or someone around them because of their choice of denomination- than it is not your right to interveen. Share your testimony, share your beliefs and leave it at that. It's their life, and their decision. And maybe we all could stand to be a little more open minded about eachother and respectful of one another.

I am guessing you are trying to ask "Are Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses misleading others/misled in their beliefs"?? Not sure which.
I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Clearly I agree with my beliefs, or I wouldn't have them, just as most/all people feel about thier own beliefs.

No, Jehovah's Witnesses do not mislead anyone.
When true Christians (such as Jehovah's Witnesses) search for the truth, they do to the only infallible source of truth available to humankind.
http://watchtower.co.uk/e/bible/heb/chapter_004.htm?bk=heb;chp=04;vs=12;citation#bk6
(Psalm 119:159-160) I have loved your own orders. O Jehovah...your word is truth
(John 17:11,17) Holy Father, watch over them... Sanctify them by means of the truth; your word is truth.
(Hebrews 4:12) For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword
It is not adherence to some human group that defines "truth", but one's adherence to the inspired infallible Word of the Divine Author as found in the bible.
(1 Thessalonians 2:13) When you received God’s word, which you heard from us, you accepted it, not as the word of men, but, just as it truthfully is, as the word of God

Mormons are set. They seem to be well grounded. Most Christians are all over the board.

I can only answer for the Mormons, but, as a rule, no, we don't.
Of course, there are those who say we do, and those who believe the ones who say we do. Which is unfortunate, because the ones who say we do are liars and the ones who believe them are the deceived.

I'm confused. Are you asking "Are we mislead Christians" or "Do we mislead other Christians?"
