First I would like to encourage you to do your homework before you consider this orginization trustworthy and reliable. There is a book written by William J. Schnell titled "30Years a Watchtower Slave". This is a concise detailed account of the origin of the Watchtower and will give you more information than I can enter here.
The copy I have was published ty Baker Book House / Direction Books. I pray this will encourage you to read Gods word and not the rantings of men.

BEING THOSE GOD CAN USE AT HIS SECOND COMING
The bible is a challenge, any translation.
people must have a method to teach so that 100 people do not have 100 definitions on all the subjects as soul, spirit, hell the grave, the heaveny, the new heavens and the new earth, the resurrection, the kingdom, world history, all about the bible people, bible places, judges, kings, prophets, genealogy of Jesus, Jesus first and second coming.
Satan and his place and his short time in the end, the kingdom to the world in the time of the end, the commandments, the health of the people,
honesty and representing the true God of Jesus our savior, and people must be as one with God and Christ.
The heavens and earth has got to be ruled and all in harmony. It is a big order to teach people correctly.
Jesus at his second coming needs people of law and order and knowing how to teach and how to listen and obey.
If Jehovah's Witnesses and their materials can not do this it can not be done, mistakes made does not mean people are false, it means the have made an error or mistake that they will correct it / them. These people are prepared to be what is needed and that is a good thing.

I believe it is healthy to be sceptical about any organisation that believes it has a monopoly on truth or that has an axe to grind. Young minds are malleable in the hands of accomplished manipulators ... but maybe that applies not only to young minds.

Seriously? Probably not. Religious organizations may be too concerned with dogma and indoctrination to be fully effective as educators in academics and art.
If you're asking because you're concerned with finding a good learning environment for your child, I'd suggest you keep looking. Investigate schools for yourself, in person. Your standards will differ from mine or anyone else's. Find a place that holds the same priorities as you and will keep your child's best interests in mind.

Since the Jehovah's Witness organization currently rejects most of the teachings of its founder Charles Taze Russell (who was president of the organization from 1879-1916), and since they also reject "Judge" Joseph Franklin Rutherford, who succeeded Russell as president from 1916 - 1942, how can we be sure that in 25 more years, Jehovah's Witnesses won't also reject the president, Milton G. Henschel (1992 - 2003) and the Current president, Don Alden Adams , as they did Russell and Rutherford?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. How can you believe any organisation that comes out with such things as they have over the years and then changes it's mind. Do some research into the early years and be amazed at just how untrustworthy the organisation is. Read 'Crisis of Conscience' by Raymond Franz and find out how untrustworthy the organisation remains and how hypocritical it is.

No, no religious affiliated organisation can provide unbiased or trustworthy teaching.

No, you shouldn't trust such an organization. This Jehovah Witness org. Watchtower are a fake. Their task is a quest to interrogate God. The word Jehovah is surely not God's name, a hybrid of two words brought together and render the word to mean nothing at all.

What do you mean by 'the Watchtower Organisation'? If you are referring to Jehovah's Witnesses, then yes, I do believe that they are dispensing Bible truth in these dark times.

This I say and testify in The Lord , that ye henceforth walk not as other gentlies walk ,
in the vanity of their mind , having the understanding darkened , being alienated from
the life of God , through the ignorance in them , because of the blindness of their hearts
