Once you stipulate the existence of a supreme being, a creator, or the "supernatural," you lose the ability to discriminate or judge between variations in what people believe in relation to that existence. At least the JWs go "all in" as opposed to most supposed Xians, who only believe in a god enough to ask him for favors or to smite people whose lives and choices differ from their own. I just hope the OP is a solid, rational, atheist, and isn't just concerned that the JW's materials will expose the impressionable to an unapproved version of this particular fairy tale.
OP here - yep, eprophet, solid, rational atheist and science enthusiast. We remove the Xian materials that worm their way in, too. It's ethically challenging because we're also huge 1st Amendment proponents. Obviously, we recycle all of it.
It's pointless to try to reason with the brainwashed. Get rid of their trash and live your life. They won't stop. They are deeply, deeply disturbed.
Let's have a book burning!
