Jehovah's Witnesses?...if you worked for a company, and they....?
were involved in some underhanded things and kept it from their employees that they were a fraud, wouldn't you want to know? This company supports your family and even dictates your whole lifestyle...wouldn't you want to know if they were misleading you?
All it takes is research.

What are you talking about? Are you trying in a round-about way to say that we are being mislead in some way? If so, that shows a major lack of research and understanding in what the WTBTS is, what it does, and the workings of the Jehovah's Witness congregation.
Also you are very much incorrect if you assume that every single one of Jehovah's Witnesses are not completely aware of any of the going-ons, history, teachings, and inner workings of the organization.
There is nothing hidden or secret at all in any of our teachings or ways of doing things. I mean, think about it, we have 3 websites, chock full of all our beliefs, all of our publications available for digital, audio, sign language, and 500 other languages downloadable, and we even go door to door talking to people about all of this, and handing out literature.
And everything that comes from the faithful and discreet slave is all from the scriptures, and is backed up with such. The entire bible. And we are told, encouraged, and we do research everything for ourselves.
Do you realize that every single baptized Jehovah's Witnesses is an ordained minister?

Jehovah's Witnesses take seriously the scripture
(1 Thessalonians 5:21) . . .Make sure of all things. . .
(1 John 4:1) . . .do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God,. . .
So yes Jehovah's Witnesses do research. And we seriously base our decisions upon sound bible council.
We do not police the world. We do not correct injustice. We do not impose our opinion nor conscience on others. What does that mean? We work on OURSELVES.
(Romans 12:18) 18 If possible, as far as it depends upon YOU, be peaceable with all men.
While we SHARE what we have learned because of love for our neighbors and the command by Jesus at Matt 28:19,20 it is always the recipients choice.
With this in mind it is in most cases a conscience matter for an individual. If however the organization is clearly known for being underhanded and devious a Christian would want to separate from being identified with it. Compare Revelation 18:4 We do not rely on these organizations. Jesus said at (Matthew 6:25,32-34) . . .Stop being anxious about YOUR souls as to what YOU will eat or what YOU will drink, or about YOUR bodies as to what YOU will wear. . .
. .For all these are the things the nations are eagerly pursuing. For YOUR heavenly Father knows YOU need all these things. 33 “Keep on, then, seeking first the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these [other] things will be added to YOU. 34 So, never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Sufficient for each day is its own badness. . .
Hope this helped you with your question.

Exactly, when my mother learnt about the history and the corruption of the CATHOLIC CHURCH as well as the fact that she had been mislead about so many bible teachings, she officially withdraw her membership and hasn't stepped into a church since. She had first hand experience of the sexual exploitation of its leaders and those stories would turn your stomach literally.
Personally I want to see the Vatican's books before I'm willing to listen to what any of those people have to say about their religion.
Excellent Point!

Greetings,
Yes, that principle is exactly why the larger percentage of Jehovah's Witnesses stopped being members of other religions and became Jehovah's Witnesses! We go tired of all the lies and falsehood of Christendom and found the only Christian religion.

Our religion is not misleading us. I spent a whole decade learning about these people before becoming one of them. I'm 100% sure I know what I'm doing. For the truth bout jehovah's Witnesses, go to www.watchtower.org
This website even has a convenient search bar so you can find exactly the information you need on many topics.

I personally think Jehovah Witnesses are weird, and this opinion is coming from me and I'm a Christian /:
From what I just have read from 'Blood of Jesus' Saves' answer, is completley ...... WEIRD! And have no conclusions whatsoever, where do you get all these UFO things from and etc??? Where do those things say in the Bible!? It's absurd!
And from your question sorry I don't know, haha. D:
