Ask one of Jehovah's Witnesses

[Tonus]

I guess thats true if you believe that if they're not 100% right about everything then they have to be 100% wrong. I just don't believe that is worth it to view anything that way.

That's not what I believe, especially since I'm not religious and do not expect perfection from people. Any person or cause worth following or being associated with will have its good and bad qualities. In just about every other facet of our lives, we understand this and weigh these issues when making decisions. It is religion itself that demands standards that people either cannot reach or are not interested in trying to reach.

In other words, "100% right or wrong" is the organization's view, not mine. If their belief system allowed for them to be as wrong as they have been, they would embrace their past. They hide so much of it because it would hurt the efforts to gain new converts; there is only so much people will accept under the umbrella of "we are fallible men." In this, they're not really any different from most (if not all) other religious groups; trying to have it both ways (pointing out the flaws in other religions as a sign that they lack divine support, then hiding or excusing their own flaws). It is one of the ways in which religion hurts society as a whole, leveraging confirmation bias to its fullest extent to keep people in line.
